Li Mo, a graduate student in history, wakes up in the late Han Dynasty as a fake eunuch, about to be examined and exposed, then beheaded! In his moment of despair, he awakens the Demon Whisper System: everyone believes whatever he says!
To save his life, and to save others, Li Mo embarks on a path to defy fate.
First, he fools his immediate superior and escapes the examination. Then he meets Empress Dowager He and uses a "prophecy" to save her from peril, becoming the Han empress dowager's most trusted confidant.
He hides in the inner palace, wielding nothing but his silver tongue. He brings forward the deadly conflict between the Ten Attendants and He Jin, then draws the ambitious Dong Zhuo into Luoyang with a secret letter, personally lighting the flames of the age of chaos. As Dong Zhuo wreaks havoc at court and the eighteen warlords fight beyond the passes, Li Mo quietly makes his moves behind the scenes, saving one tragic beauty from history after another: Cai Wenji, Diaochan, Zhen Mi, and the Qiao sisters. He establishes the secret intelligence organization Shadow Pavilion, infiltrates the various factions, and watches them fight among themselves. In the end, he steps out from behind the scenes to contend for the realm.
"Brother, how did all the wealth and beauties in the realm end up in your hands?" Cao Cao asks him years later, in tears, after suffering a crushing defeat.
Li Mo puts an arm around the beauty in his embrace and smiles without a word.
I can't stand these kinds of articles that seem to demonstrate thought but ultimately amount to nothing... They're all just assumptions.
