The Chancellor Loves His People

You can't plunder the common people, but you also need to keep the army's morale stable. So why plunder the officials? Anyway, there aren't many good people among the officials at the end of the Han Dynasty. If you compromise with the officials, frankly, you'll die even faster.

Why bother becoming handsome? In the Three Kingdoms era, power was more important than looks. I once read a book where the protagonist time-traveled to become Dong Zhuo, and he just used force to seduce women—wasn't that more appealing? What's the point of cultivating feelings? Do you think this is modern times? Don't you understand the concept of "love grows over time"? If you make Dong Zhuo handsome, is he still Dong Zhuo? What's the point?

Can you imagine a guy with an oval face and a muscular physique?

I hope she doesn't really turn into a "muscle Barbie" later on; a more rugged face shape is better.

Dong Zhuo's attempt to seize power from the aristocratic families by holding the young emperor hostage in Luoyang was utterly suicidal and lacked any self-awareness. In chaotic times, the army reigns supreme. As long as one's own army doesn't collapse due to internal strife, if one wants power, one can simply overturn the table.

The protagonist is supposedly in his thirties when he transmigrated, but I think he's at most fifteen.

The author had absolutely no idea how to engage readers. They'll be drawn in by the name Dong Zhuo. They're probably all lepsy. It's all to see how lewd and brutal he is. Being lewd and cruel is not wrong for a monarch. Cao Cao was also cruel and tyrannical. Dong Zhuo's mistake was that he became cowardly in the later stages.

The premise of this book seems pretty good, but unfortunately, the author insisted on making the protagonist handsome in order to attract more readers... Oh well, what a pity. However, since the book is already on the Sanjiang list, I guess it won't lack my subscriptions. See you all in the future! 😢

Chapter Seven was truly unbearable to read. So many people in Luoyang wanted to kill Dong Zhuo, yet he disguised himself and went to the military camp alone. His face and belly were so conspicuous; did he really think people wouldn't recognize him? That's not how you court death.

Personally, I think that removing the tags (strategy, tactics) and replacing them with (memes, flirting) would better suit this book. It's quite an achievement to write a historical novel like this.
