Chen Zhe, a history graduate student, pulls an all-nighter reading historical records and dies suddenly. He wakes up as Chen Ergou, a cook in the Yellow Turban Army.
He can barely lift a chicken, with a combat strength of 0.01. Even killing one is a struggle.
His only advantage is the [Stratagem-to-Combat System] that suddenly appears in his mind:
Each successful stratagem he offers can be exchanged for combat strength.
“The blue sky is dead; the yellow sky shall rise?” Chen Zhe watches Zhang Jiao’s retreating figure and sighs. “You’ve only got a few months left.”
To survive, he offers Zhang Jiao his first stratagem.
System reward: Combat strength +1.
Now killing a chicken takes a little effort instead of a lot.
Chen Zhe knows the Yellow Turban Army is doomed.
He must find a way out before it falls.
He remembers what the history books say: Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei swore brotherhood in the Peach Garden.
Then... he’ll be their fourth brother.
From then on, the late Eastern Han gains a man who should never have existed.
He saves Pang Tong and changes his fate.
He rushes to save Maicheng, so Guan Yu’s story no longer ends in regret.
He campaigns north into the Central Plains, rising from cook to Marquis of Wu’an.
“The Han and its traitors cannot coexist. I, Chen Zhe, would rather die than surrender.”
