    The primary purpose of writing this book was to fulfill a passionate young man's dream of becoming a king! A dream with twists and turns, and a perfect ending, is the most beautiful! If it were a smooth, effortless journey without any difficulties, it would be too easy, lacking a sense of accomplishment and conquest. Therefore, this book has no system, no cheat codes, no transmigration, no protagonist halo. Everything starts from scratch, closely reflecting reality! How is this close to reality reflected? 1. The protagonist's transformation: from a naive college student who has never seen bloodshed, to a worldly-wise individual, to a cunning schemer, to an emperor with a keen eye for strategy; 2. The protagonist's journey from nothing to something, and from something to something, in terms of troops, money, people, land, and fame; 3. The balance of power among other warlords. The protagonist won't recruit all the top strategists; otherwise, what would be the point of conquering a weakened version of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, or Sun Quan? 4. The slow-paced writing style; around chapter 200, all the conditions are truly met, and the story begins its journey from hardship to success. 5. Several revelations of the protagonist's transmigration identity in the early stages. Why? Because we're starting from scratch, besides this, we don't have any other selling points to attract readers! 6. A semi-classical Chinese style, imitating Romance of the Three Kingdoms (but not to that level), because only in this way can we better integrate into that time and space. We'll try to reduce the classical Chinese in the later stages, making it closer to vernacular Chinese; some earlier chapters couldn't be revised in time. If you find it acceptable, feel free to read it!
