    Dear readers, do you prefer mindless, purely enjoyable stories or those with logical thinking, without belittling the intelligence of other warlords, and considering the mindset of each character? It shouldn't start with everyone claiming a certain character is a dead man or a worthless figure. It shouldn't be about acquiring famous generals at will. This book has normal logic, no system, doesn't vilify historical figures, doesn't randomly acquire generals, and is a slow-burner. If you're interested, take your time and read on. It's about the Eastern Han Dynasty, not the Three Kingdoms period, but from Ma Chao's perspective, offering a different angle to examine the contradictions of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the difference between loyalty and treachery, and how everyone who leaves their mark on history has their own convictions and desires. Witness Ma Chao's transformation from a loyal minister to a powerful warlord.
