    The Three Kingdoms period, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, historical fiction, no system, popular historical perspective, slow-burn in the beginning. If you're looking for a mindless, fast-paced story, don't click here; you probably won't even finish the first chapter. If you're a true fan of the Three Kingdoms, knowledgeable about history, and happen to be a fan of the author, then you might as well read on patiently; it definitely won't disappoint you.
