Lü Xiaobu, an internet operations worker stuck in a 996 grind, works himself to death and transmigrates into Lü Bu, the fiercest warrior of the Three Kingdoms.
Other transmigrators: peerless martial arts, sweeping all before them.
Him: waking up on the Red Hare, with Guan Yu's Green Dragon Crescent Blade, Zhang Fei's Serpent Spear, and Liu Bei's twin swords in front of him.
And he hasn't even killed a chicken.
At the brink of despair, the "Conviction System" activates: the more people believe you're strong, the stronger you really become.
The problem is, he doesn't even know which end of the Sky Piercer points up.
And so, an astonishing sight unfolds on the battlefield:
He puts together a PowerPoint presentation on the city wall, and Dong Zhuo exclaims, "Fengxian is a genius!"
He wildly swings the Sky Piercer in battle, and Guan Yu marvels, "To have no moves is to surpass all moves!"
He casually drops a bit of workplace jargon, and Li Ru spends three days and nights pondering it.
His voice trembles with nerves, and a hundred thousand people interpret it as "a mighty warrior laughing in fury."
Everyone thinks Lü Bu is unfathomable.
Only Cao Cao stares at his shaking hands and says, "He's afraid."
But the next second...
One strike splits the earth.
Cao Cao: "...Forget I said anything."
Lü Xiaobu, in his heart: It's over, it's over, it's over! My body moved on its own! Can someone tell me how to stop this thing?!
This is a story of a man who looks good only because everyone around him is worse.
It's also the story of a fake strongman slowly becoming the real deal.
"Stop kneeling. I really don't know martial arts."
"But, General, you just split the city wall with one strike!"
"...That was an accident."
