Drawing on both the true history and historical fiction of the Three Kingdoms era, this novel creates a parallel timeline in which Liu Bei unifies the realm through six pivotal changes to history.
As Liu Bei struggles through a life of hardship, he gains six key talents in succession: Yuan Huan, Tian Yu, Qian Zhao, Taishi Ci, Pang De, and Zhou Buyi. Then, after securing Jiangling, a strategic stronghold, at Changban Slope, the wheels of history begin turning toward Shu-Han’s unification of the realm. Thus begins a new Three Kingdoms legend, with “benevolence and righteousness” as its banner, “talent” as its wings, and “the Way of Heaven” as its name.
