[Eastern Wu, Three Kingdoms] Can the Sun Family Get Anything Right?

Eighteen hundred years later, the Sun family father and sons were baffled by an online argument over whether the Sun family had what it took:

Sun Jian was displeased: I was the one who beheaded Hua Xiong! How is that not impressive?

Sun Ce was speechless: Entrusting Zhang Zhao with my son wasn't a trick! Our lord-and-minister relationship was excellent!

Sun Quan was furious: I wasn't suspicious of Zhou Yu! I didn't poison Lu Meng! I didn't get dementia in my old age! And I am not a scumbag at all!!!!

So, did the Sun family have what it took?

Open the history books, and you'll find that Eastern Wu, the least prominent of the Three Kingdoms, also had countless heroic stories worth singing and weeping over.

Here are stories of humble beginnings, unyielding struggle, and the inspiring work of building a new enterprise.

Here are legendary tales of a dying man's entrustment and a harmonious bond between ruler and minister.

Here are earth-shaking legends of the Battle of Red Cliffs, where the realm was divided.

Here are brilliant achievements that opened up the south and laid the foundations for the Six Dynasties.

This is an epic tale of a small melon farmer from Fuchun who went on to build an empire!

Note:

1. This is a serious historical novel about the entrepreneurial journeys of the three Sun family fathers and sons.

2. There are no original protagonists, System, transmigration, or other fantasy elements. However, the author will add plenty of their own interpretations and fictional details beyond what history records.

3. There is almost no romance, but since the protagonists have wives and children, the novel is listed in the romance category.

4. The story is mainly based on history, but also borrows classic elements from historical fiction, such as Guan Yu's Green Dragon Crescent Blade.

5. The story celebrates loyalty and integrity among rulers, ministers, friends, and family, so there are no conspiracy theories between the main characters.

6. The author is not very knowledgeable, so there may be many awkward parts in the novel. Readers, please don't take everything too seriously.
