[No system + hard core survival + struggle in troubled times + the protagonist is miserable]
In the winter of the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Cai He woke up in severe pain of choking on water. His wrist was cut into the flesh with a hemp rope, and an announcement came from outside the tent to "sacrifice the flag at three o'clock in the hour" - six hours later, his blood will be splashed on the flag of Cao's army. At this moment, on the river, Huang Gai's fire boat was taking advantage of the southeast wind and going upstream.
He traveled through time and became a trap that should have been killed in history. There is no system, no golden fingers, only the fear of the fire of Chibi and a heart that does not want to die. From a prisoner under the sacrificial flag to a false captain under General Zuo, he survived and dealt with in troubled times, stepping on the tip of a knife every step of the way.
This is not a heroic epic, but a crippled little man who survived in the sea of fire for thirteen years. The fire is out, but the embers remain.
