Three Kingdoms: Seizing the Emperor Before Cao Cao to Command the Lords

I transmigrated as the third son of Situ Wang Yun, just as the historical script was about to unfold: Chang'an would fall and my whole family would be slaughtered.

By the time Liu Bei was going around seeking patrons, everyone under heaven was already accusing me of holding the emperor hostage to command the lords.

While Sun Quan was busy plotting political balance, my army had reached his doorstep.

While the people of the realm called me a traitor to the Han, I was working with Ma Jun to improve the new curved-shaft plow and all kinds of weapons, and watching Cai Yan teach women to read.

Lu Bu wrapped an arm around me. “Son-in-law, want another woman? I can help you kidnap one.”
