At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turbans broke out and the temples collapsed. Xu Shen, a small official in Xuzhou, was framed by the county magistrate and powerful men because he accidentally obtained a Yellow Turban military pay account book and was thrown into death row.
When he was on the verge of death, he awakened to the "Historical Card Drawing System" - every time he completed a life-changing deed, he could draw outstanding military units, magical weapons, and structures from the past five thousand years.
While on death row, he extracted Hua Tuo's medical classics, which brought him back to life with his wonderful skills, and hundreds of prisoners surrendered; he exposed the deceit of the charlatan Liu Botong, and played with him in the palm of his hand. After escaping from prison, he discovered that the truth was far greater than he imagined: the powerful men of Xiapi, the governor of Xuzhou, and even Dong Zhuo in Luoyang City were all waiting to harvest this troubled world.
On the surface, Xu Shen is gentle and polite, but in reality he is paranoid and ruthless. He acts cautiously like walking on thin ice, but his attacks are like thunder - anyone who hurts his relatives and relatives will be killed no matter how far away; anyone who betrays him will have his bones broken and ashes thrown away.
From being a prisoner on death row, to recruiting the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, to being a dark horse in the alliance to fight against Dong, he uses historical cards as a chess piece and moves step by step to bring the entire world into his own chessboard.
The wind in Guandu, the fire in Chibi, the yellow sand in the Western Regions, and the snow in the grassland will all witness the rise of a yandere and heroic figure.
The Three Kingdoms were in turmoil, and destiny was unknown. When the card pool of history opens to Xu Shen, is the card he draws a survival card, or the king bomb that ends the troubled times?
