After transmigrating as Fang Yue, a famous general from Henei beneath Hulao Pass, Wang Lin's life can be summed up in two lines: He fought fewer than five bouts, then was knocked from his horse by a single thrust from Lu Bu.
Fortunately, he can start over whenever he dies.
On his first try, he fought head-on and was killed in one strike. On his second, he ran and was hacked to death by bandits. On his third, he pretended to be sick, but the physician saw through it and he was beaten with twenty strokes of the military cane. His wounds became infected, and he died. ... By his eightieth try, he knew every detail of Lu Bu's strikes. By his hundred and eightieth, he had laid a trap so thorough that, before the Eighteen Warlords, he pierced Lu Bu through the left side of the neck with a single thrust.
A man who has died a hundred times knows best how to stay alive.
