   First, the protagonist is transported to the chaotic Three Kingdoms period. To survive, he needs a benevolent lord. Coincidentally, Zhang Fei saves his life, so at the beginning, the protagonist tests whether Liu Bei is worthy of his loyalty, and the answer is absolutely yes [laughs]. Second, he also assists Shu Han, and the protagonist has a good relationship with Guo Jia. The downside is that he is slightly brainless in the early stages, but it's not a big problem [eating melon]. Third, he is the strategist of Shu Han, and his type is different from the previous two books.

   This new book, while seemingly a system-driven, fast-paced story, actually relies heavily on strategic maneuvering, with the system serving only a supporting role. It begins in Xuzhou and progresses steadily. Some character relationships are quite interesting; Zhao Yun's marriage to Lady Mi prevented Mi Zhu from using his sister to win over Liu Bei, thus averting Lady Mi's tragic fate at Changban Slope. While most books portray Diao Chan as a concubine, this book places her as an intelligence agent, fitting her mystique. Highly recommended!!!
