    Reader note

    New book, stable updates, estimated to reach two to three million words. While it seems like a wish-fulfillment novel with a system, the system is merely supplementary; the focus is more on political intrigue and strategic maneuvering. Starting in Xuzhou, it progresses steadily and surely. Some character relationships are quite interesting; Zhao Yun marrying Lady Mi avoids the situation where Mi Zhu used his sister to win over Liu Bei. It also averts the tragedy of Lady Mi's suicide 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!!!

    Watching Liu Yi's journey from forbearance to rise to power was incredibly relatable. Disguised as a man, she struggled through a chaotic world, gradually building her strength until one day astonishing the world. This kind of triumphant rise, achieved through genuine ability, is far more satisfying than those wish-fulfillment novels.
