   💥, Historical Intrigue Novel🌈 The first book features the original owner, the sixth prince of the Great Xia Dynasty. As the imperial edict stated: uneducated in both literature and martial arts, inherently cowardly, possessing no redeeming qualities other than good looks and a large stature, plagued by various vices. The original owner was invited to a banquet at the fifth prince's residence and became extremely drunk. The Zhen family? Absolutely not! The original owner was both cowardly and weak; even drunk, he would never dare to disrespect the Zhen family. Clearly, this was a trap, a trap intended to kill the original owner! However, the mastermind overestimated the original owner's weakness… After drinking too much, he simply passed out, allowing Zhou Che, who had transmigrated from another world, to take over his body.

The protagonist handles political affairs with the ruthless methods of a "living Yama," fiercely competing with various forces, with a tightly interwoven plot and constant conflicts. The thrill of palace coups and the tension of border wars firmly grip the reader, immersing them in the story. The novel ingeniously opens with the protagonist's time travel to become Cao Ang and "intercept the Zou family," breaking away from the traditional narrative mode of the Three Kingdoms period. Within the well-known historical framework of the Three Kingdoms, it focuses on the less explored Cao Ang, altering his key experiences to create a completely new story path, presenting readers with a different perspective on the Three Kingdoms. The author boldly breaks through the limitations of the original work, re-planning the development of Liangshan from the perspective of a reborn individual, aiming to build the strongest lineup. The reborn protagonist, with his understanding of the original work, meticulously plans and joins hands with the Liangshan heroes to overcome numerous difficult challenges. This work is highly creative, cleverly incorporating modern elements...
