Three Kingdoms: Nearly Starving to Death, Yet Still Sneaking Looks at Zhen Jiang

Liu Ao’s soul transmigrated to the Three Kingdoms. No System, no cheats: he became a starving refugee on the verge of death! Yet by relying on memories from his past life, he managed to ally himself with the powerful Zhen family of Hebei. Through business, he earned his first fortune and became a son-in-law of the Zhen family. Using that as his foundation, Liu Ao built his reputation, gathered talent, and gradually established the beginnings of a power base. Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Ju Shou, and other brilliant figures of the age joined him. He also forged ties with the Ten Attendants and secured a minor local post, making his first mark during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. He formed deep friendships with the major players of the late Han dynasty, too. By using his wealth to pave the way, he even secured a title claiming descent from the imperial clan and won recognition from the reigning Emperor Liu Hong! Though Liu Ao possesses neither peerless martial prowess nor brilliant, heaven-defying schemes, his grasp of history’s course and the talents around him still lets him carve out his own path through the chaos of the late Han dynasty!
