   Let me recommend myself. The protagonist starts as a deserter with no background or power, and progresses step by step. If modern knowledge and understanding of history were brought into the Three Kingdoms period, how much could one person change the world? This book mainly discusses whether heroes are created by circumstances or whether heroes can create circumstances. Can someone initially unknown rise to prominence by growing alongside the protagonist? Can someone already famous reach their full potential due to changes in environment and events? We've now reached the stage where heroes clash! Welcome everyone to discuss this! It will give me many insights!

Bad news: I've transmigrated into the "incapable" Liu Shan! Even worse news: I just opened my eyes to find myself witnessing the "fall of the star at Wuzhang Plains"—your strongest cheat, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, is gone! 😱 When others transmigrate as Liu Shan: they either cling to their prime minister's coattails beforehand or have a built-in system that grants them endless cheats. But Liu Shan (the transmigrated version)? He starts with a "cheat uninstallation package," directly parachuting into the darkest hour of the Shu Han dynasty! Faced with: Cao Wei's menacing gaze, Sima Yi's cunning and manipulative nature; the Eastern Wu's ruthless ambition, ready to betray at any moment; Yang Yi and Wei Yan's mutual hatred within the court, and Li Miao's antics; plus the "purely natural and additive-free" diet and hygiene of the 3rd century AD… Liu Shan could only cry out: "Let whoever wants to be emperor be emperor! I miss my takeout and flush toilet!" 🚽🤢 But! This is what true time travel looks like! No divine prophecies, no miraculous powers. Watch how Liu Shan: executes the "double edict" with masterful micromanagement, navigating the powder keg of Wei Yan and Yang Yi, saving the Northern Expedition's mighty general!

Realistic growth: The protagonist's transformation from a modern socially awkward individual to a competent emperor is vivid and realistic, his struggles in handling state affairs are incredibly believable! Historical detail: The court intrigue, military deployments, and the lives of ordinary people are meticulously researched, creating a strong sense of immersion. A Technological Approach to National Salvation: Emphasizing craftsmanship and technological innovation (improved wooden oxen and flowing horses, military equipment development), this hardcore development approach is refreshing! Vivid and Three-Dimensional Characters: Wei Yan's arrogance and loyalty, Yang Yi's narrow-mindedness and resentment, Huang Yueying's wise entrustment… even the supporting characters are captivating!

    Without a system, the male protagonist enters the game himself, maximizing the use of information asymmetry.

    I'd like to recommend this story. The male protagonist was a compound bow athlete in his previous life, but he transmigrates into the body of a poor hunter. He uses cunning to climb Fenglong Mountain at the beginning, and kidnaps Yan Liang on his way down. The male protagonist is scheming, but he's essentially a street rogue. He's very innocent and pure-hearted towards the female protagonist. It's not a mindless wish-fulfillment story; he starts from scratch.
