Transmigrating into the Three Kingdoms as a Book Boy 穿越三国当书童
This novel is very quiet. If you are feeling restless, give it a try; it might calm you down. If you want a story full of twists and turns, though, sorry, I suggest you don't read this one. There are plenty of other novels on the platform, so there's no need to read mine. This novel has no tales of others directing the course of events or defying fate to change their lives, nor any stories of transmigrating through time and gaining an advantage through foresight, then turning one's life around.
