A general store hiding a rift in time and space,
a shopkeeper haunted by the baleful energy of the Three Kingdoms,
and a fatal pact he cannot escape.
Wang Fugui was never anyone chosen by destiny.
He ran a shop to make a living and got by in the rough-and-tumble world of ordinary people. His greatest wish was simply for his family to be safe and his store to stay open.
But a modern coin that fell into his hands by chance dragged him into a death cell in the Eastern Han, where he crossed paths with Cao Cao, the man who held all the power in the land.
Shot by an arrow, gravely wounded, and infected with baleful energy, he thought his time had come,
but beneath the King of Hell’s oppressive presence, he heard of the only way out:
Return to the end of the Han dynasty within three days and find the young Hua Tuo, before he became famous.
This was no adventure. It was a gamble with his life.
A lawless wilderness ravaged by war, a chaotic age overrun by bandits, unseen pursuers, and hope just out of reach.
His wounds had yet to heal, he had nothing to his name, and all he had with him was half a copy of the Qing Nang Book and the coin burning hot against his chest.
The road ahead promised almost certain death. Behind him were the people he cared about, the old neighbors watching over him, and the general store protected by their kindness.
Was he afraid?
Yes.
The pain cut to the bone, the cold froze him through, and in the face of death, he had never truly been fearless.
But he knew one thing even better:
To run was to wait for death.
To go was his only chance to survive.
So when he woke, he refused to back down, and he would not let his injuries slow him.
To Xiao Wan, trembling as she cried, he said only, “Wait for me.”
Facing the vast, desolate land of the late Han, he managed a bitter smile, then turned and plunged into the chaos.
This is the life-or-death journey of an ordinary man.
Not a hero’s legend, but the stubborn resolve of a mere mortal.
A man with both feet planted in the everyday world
It's not bad to watch it without thinking.
A novel with a fresh approach; it's enjoyable.
I really like it, thank you author.
I really like Teacher Xie
Very good, thank you author
A unique and interesting book that includes Bian Que's treatment of Cao Cao's headache?
Excellent, commendable.
Anyway, it was quite enjoyable to watch.
The structure is clear, and the content surpasses many novels I've read. The logic is also very clear, seamlessly blending historical and modern elements.
A decent trading story, a good read, and readable.
