In the reign of Emperor Ling, the realm teeters on the brink of chaos.
Lin Yuan, a graduate student in history at a prestigious university in the capital, happens to transmigrate to the end of the Eastern Han dynasty.
He thinks he is just one ordinary person among many.
But by chance, the extraordinary Zuo Ci takes an interest in him.
He studies the classics, learns the art of war, masters political strategy, and observes the broad trends of the realm.
Drawing on his knowledge of history from later generations, he travels to Luoyang, befriends famous figures, and gathers talented people.
He assists Cao Cao, pacifies Hebei, and contends for the Central Plains.
He plans for the nation at court, for battles in the military tent, and for the realm amid the chaos.
Since he has come to the end of the Han dynasty in this life,
he is determined to secure a kingdom and usher in a peaceful, prosperous age for this storm-tossed era.
The beginning is frivolous and I have no desire to read on.
