   A fine book. Three visits to the thatched cottage finally lead to a meeting; a pair of extraordinary individuals in Longzhong. Sun Qian, acting on Cao Cao's pretense, uttered words; Fengxiao, understanding the scheme, gnashed his teeth. Thus, passing through the garrison, they heard of the astonishing event, and each devised their own plan.

   Reader note

   The Eastern Han Dynasty is not the Three Kingdoms period. Looking at the Three Kingdoms from Ma Chao's perspective offers a different angle to examine the contradictions of the late Eastern Han Dynasty. What constitutes loyalty and treachery? Everyone who leaves their mark on history has their own convictions and desires. Witness Ma Chao's transformation from a loyal minister to a ruthless warlord. Ma Chao, the "Splendid of Liang," exhibited severe moral hypocrisy. He was compassionate towards the people of the Central Plains, yet ruthless in the face of foreign invasions. Before the warlords had even fully grasped the situation, Ma Chao had already slaughtered millions on the grasslands—a ruthless killing!

    Reader note

    Unfortunately, slow-paced stories don't always appeal to readers. This book references some history (but there will be a butterfly effect; major events will be kept as unchanged as possible). The protagonist starts from scratch and rises to conquer the world. It's a reincarnation story, not a soul-transmigration + no system + hijacking + historical beauties (the early pacing is slow due to the early timeline and the fact that it's not about Cao Cao, but each character has their own romantic storyline, and the story doesn't end abruptly). The low rating is because it was rated 6.2 At launch. Also, the protagonist later develops his own city.
