In the twelfth year of Jian'an, I was born.
Before my birth, my mother dreamed she swallowed the Big Dipper, and my father was overjoyed.
"The Big Dipper is called the Seven Governors, the feudal lords of Heaven, and the Emperor's chariot."
After forty-seven years of hard work, not only did he have an heir, he even got an auspicious sign as a bonus.
Oh, the Han dynasty's restoration was finally in reach!
So my childhood name was A Dou, and my full name was Liu Shan.
In the first year of Zhangwu, my father ascended the throne and named me Crown Prince.
In the third year of Zhangwu, before he died, my father found me a sworn adoptive father at Baidi City, and I became emperor.
In the twelfth year of Jianxing, my adoptive father died at Wuzhang Plains, and I became an orphan.
Twenty-nine years later, the kingdom fell and my family was destroyed.
I just couldn't understand it. This couldn't be right. It was so wrong!
Back then, I followed Uncle Yun in and out of Cao Cao's army seven times, treating a million Cao troops as nothing.
Back then, I followed my adoptive father to stabilize Shu Han and bring about the Three Kingdoms' tripartite balance.
Back then...
Sigh, never mind. A true hero doesn't brag about past victories.
When I opened my eyes again, it was the twelfth year of Jian'an, and I had been born all over again.
Oh. So it was a dream.
I listened to my father's hearty laughter, saw the relieved look in my mother's eyes, then looked at my strong and imposing second and third uncles and Uncle Yun.
Good! What a great start!
I knew I wasn't useless!
In this life, I'll take back everything that belongs to me!
All three SSRs are ready. I need to find my adoptive father and the other uncles. I'll restore the Han and return the capital to its rightful home!
But... is there someone else beside my adoptive father?
Ah, I'm no longer his only little one for the time being.
Handsome, career-minded bottom x hopelessly lovestruck, devoted husband top
