Main story complete
After transmigrating, I opened my eyes to the sixth year of Guanghe. Once the New Year passed, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was due to break out...
The good news was that, as a son of the Yingchuan Han clan, I might be of humble birth, but I had enough to eat and wear, and could survive even if the rebellion broke out.
The bad news was that I had to keep disguising myself as a man. No big deal. The longer I stayed in men's clothes, the better.
The Han Dynasty was on the brink of collapse, and there wasn't much time left.
No System, no shop, no pocket dimension, no kingly aura. How was I supposed to survive?
After lying low through the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Han Jue didn't want to live like a slacker. She headed north to Luoyang to trade and make a fortune.
Instead, she stumbled upon a territory riddled with problems and surrounded by hungry wolves, and had to grit her teeth and manage it.
The bandits said, "I want to rob you!"
The mountain outlaws said, "Pay us protection money!"
Liu Bei said, "Teach me..."
Yuan Shao said, "Are you with me or Gongsun Zan?"
Cao Cao said, "Let's start out as underlings together!"
With more and more big names lining up to make demands, Han Jue was at her wit's end. She couldn't do it alone. She needed help!
But:
One famous strategist had been kidnapped and was now dragging his feet, refusing to work...
Another strategist, destined to make a name for himself, had politely turned down her invitation...
Han Jue: Looks like I'll have to trick and cajole some helpers into joining me!
P.S.:
1. The timeline will follow history as closely as possible at first, but things will diverge later due to the butterfly effect.
2. There is a male lead. Romance is present, but not much. The main focus is building a career.
Announcement: Expected to go premium on July 24, 2023.
There will be three chapters released on launch day. Some chapters will be locked retroactively. Please support the novel!
In light of reader debates, here are some things to note:
This is not a female emperor story or a matriarchal story. The ending involves a marriage alliance between equals.
If you believe the children in a marriage alliance must take the woman's surname, or can't accept a woman who doesn't become emperor, this isn't for you.
After Han Jue's true identity is revealed, gossip runs wild...
Guo Jia: I was deceived. Wait, I think I was seen naked, too...
Sima Lang: I was deceived as well, and we even held hands...
Someone: No wonder she wouldn't share a bed with me...
Someone: So I was right, men who don't drink are all fake...
Someone: What?! So I'm not into men after all? Hahaha!!!
Coming soon: Transmigrating and Starting Over in a New Career, with a Puppy!
Female lead's version:
Lawyer Jian Yun transmigrates into the body of a housewife on the verge of divorce.
She thinks: I'm a lawyer, so I'll handle my own divorce case. Makes perfect sense!
Then she remembers: Oh no, she hasn't gotten her license yet...
So she has to find a clueless rookie lawyer to act as her tool, while she pulls the strings behind the scenes.
She meant to toss this tool aside once she was done with him, but then she realizes he can still be useful...
Male lead's version:
Fu Ran is a rookie lawyer who entered the profession halfway through life. His first case as an independent lawyer is a divorce, and his client knows more about the law than he does...
The most ridiculous part is that within a few months, his client becomes a fellow lawyer!
Having a colleague is great. He's finally found someone powerful to lean on!
If he doesn't make money soon, he'll be living on air!
Theme: In chaotic times, survival depends on yourself.
It feels aggrieved and feels like it's unfinished. It doesn't matter whether the heroine claims to be emperor in the end, but in the end it becomes a man's world. The achievements and efforts of the previous heroine seem to be gone, and become Cao Ang's achievements, paving the way for him.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get. The heroine's greatest asset is obviously her ability to win over the people of the world. The heroine is getting married. Si Chen's reputation is still there, but he still has to take on the role of a heroine. No matter how powerful the heroine is, she still doesn't want to get married. If there are more women fighting for hegemony in the future, how will they attract the mastermind? I'm afraid you'll turn around and get married in the middle of the fight.
It's very interesting. I think this ending is very reasonable. It is written in the article that Han Jue did not want to dominate and become emperor. At first, he just wanted to protect himself. Later, he wanted to have a place to live and live in. Later, he used the knowledge of modern people to do his best to make the people under his rule live and work in peace and contentment. From the beginning to the end, Han Jue only gained a good counselor, Sima Lang who helped him with logistics, and only three good generals. Which overlord of the ancient separatist regimes that fought for several years could win in just a few fights? If the heroine wants to be emperor, she really needs to know magic
The heroine worked hard for more than ten years before she got married. Since you worked hard, why don't you work hard to be the leader? You just want to sit in the rear and go to Boss Cao at the beginning. You directly stabilize the rear and do things for the people. What the hell is it that a war and separatist regime has stopped in the middle of the war? I haven't seen much strength in the male protagonist either. At least let me see that he can stand alone.
Thanks for the limited fee. Generally speaking, I feel that the writing is good. Marrying someone is not a surprise to me. After all, the heroine can still hold power openly and honestly as a woman. There may be other articles to compare with. I read a story about a fast-traveling female protagonist, but the heroine in every world is a woman disguised as a man, and never loses her horse. Later, it was said that the heroine is actually a woman, which is also regarded by the public as nonsense. It is equivalent to Zhu Yuanzhang selling hooks in exchange for white flour cakes. This type of women dressing up as men to give men merit makes me even more speechless.
Unlocking new ideas, I have only seen the route of becoming the leader of Cao Cao, Liu Bei or Lu Bu and proclaiming oneself the emperor. I did not expect that there is the route of marrying oneself into the Cao family when one is half independent. When Guo Jia came to see the heroine, I should have thought of it before the heroine had any thoughts of fighting for hegemony. I thought the heroine would change her mind.
It really starts high and goes low. The previous description was so good, but in the end it was too hasty. The appearance of the heroine is like a pebble in the river of history. A little splash has no effect at all. Although I knew earlier that I wouldn't write about proclaiming myself an emperor, I think there are always titles and rewards, but the result is that I feel like a spoiled wife who doesn't want anything but love. The diaphragm should be dead.
Guo Jia, I think to a certain extent he looked down on the heroine back then. . . . . Maybe it's because he doesn't like it? More suitable
Thanks to the limited exemption, I came across such a good thing after buying a few chapters. Let me tell you my opinion. Although modern knowledge is beneficial to Han Yu's career and development, it is also because of modern education that she lacks drive, lacks ambition, and believes in the golden mean. To be honest, if any ancient person reaches the stage of the heroine step by step, even if she is a woman, she will not let go of the opportunity to reach the top. There really was such a woman in ancient times, she seems to be called Hongyu or something. She is similar to the heroine. In troubled times, she gathered people and wanted to be emperor, and finally died. Although he died, he left a mark in history. Compared with her, the heroine has more insights, knowledge, hearts and counselors. It can be said that the capital of the heroine is far greater than that of the girl who claims to be emperor, but the heroine just lets go. No wonder Guo Jia has always looked down on the heroine. Guo Jia has never regarded the heroine as a monarch who can assist, and has never considered the heroine. Alas, Guo Jia is really unhappy with me. Because of the cowardice and stubbornness inherent in modern people, the heroine is also exquisitely self-interested and wise in protecting herself. However, compared to those ancient people, the heroine is much less energetic and charming. Alas, although this is also a way of writing career essays in ancient times, why am I so frustrated? Might as well write a story where a woman is disguised as a man from beginning to end, and in the end the heroine is unmarried and infertile... Forget it, what was I thinking.
To be honest, I'm disappointed now. Because I feel that the author should not have rushed the ending, and I have always supported the author's concept, but it would be really disappointing if the author chose to rush the ending because of what other readers said.
