Back to the Late Han: I Slay the Warlords and Unite the World

In 2027, the down-and-out young man Su Ye is cornered and gravely injured by a rich second-generation heir. His blood awakens an ancestral jade pendant called “Return to Han,” and in an instant, he is plunged into the chaos of the late Han dynasty in the second year of Jian'an. He lands in a mass grave, a spear through his neck, on the verge of being buried alive! As an outsider among outsiders, he has no martial arts, no backing, and no money. All he has is a jade pendant that anchors his soul and protects the fortunes of the Han dynasty. Starting as the lowliest servant in Yuan Shu's camp, he endures humiliation and bides his time, using the pendant to strengthen his body, learn the ancient language, and see through people's hearts. Everyone thinks the struggle for supremacy at the end of the Han is about seizing the empire, but Su Ye alone uncovers a world-shaking secret: four jade pendants of destiny govern the fortunes of the four realms, and the division of the land into three kingdoms was ordained by Heaven! Zhou Yu hides a prophecy, the four pendants keep the chaotic world in balance, and the course of history has long been locked in place by destiny? Then he'll defy Heaven and change fate! He joins Cao Cao when he is at his lowest, using modern agriculture and disease-prevention techniques to secure his foundations and build the “Return to Han Army,” loyal to him alone. He beats Lu Bu to the punch, turns the tide at Wancheng, launches a surprise attack at Guandu, prevents the Battle of Red Cliffs, wins over famous generals from Shu and Wu, and gradually claims all four jade pendants of destiny. He slays treacherous warlords, sweeps away the separatist forces, and unites the Han realm. From a condemned prisoner left to die in a muddy pit to the Grand Marshal who rules the realm, Su Ye crosses mountains of corpses and seas of blood, bringing a century of warfare to an end. But when the land is finally at peace and he tries to use the jade pendant to return to the modern world, a shocking deception is revealed! Was his modern life an illusion? Were all the warlords and officials mere puppets? Was uniting the realm actually a means of becoming a sacrifice to Heaven? Those pitch-black vertical pupils appear again, and the power of the ancient jade surges against the heavens. This time, I, Su Ye, will rebel against Heaven itself!
