What would history look like if the people of the Three Kingdoms could crack jokes?
Liu Bei becomes a startup boss, promising everyone he meets, “Work with me, and you’ll get stock options when we go public!” Guan Yu is a stern-faced perfectionist who, after slaying Hua Xiong, can’t resist adding, “This wine is seventy-three percent alcohol. Perfect for sterilizing.” Zhuge Liang is a refined master of humblebragging. After borrowing arrows with straw boats, he smiles calmly and says, “Just the basics. Take your seats.” And Cao Cao? He’s nursing a headache while posting on his social feed: “Cutting my hair in place of my head: the self-discipline of a top influencer.”
The classic stories stay true to the originals. These people are just allowed to speak normally.
The most serious tone, telling the most irreverent stories of the Three Kingdoms.
I love this book so much.
