Three Kingdoms: Too Broke to Buy a Post, So I Joined the Yellow Turbans

After transmigrating to the Three Kingdoms era, Jiang Cheng brought a treatise on economic development to the capital, thinking he would make a name for himself. Instead, the emperor wanted to castrate him and turn him into a tool...

Fortunately, someone rescued him at the critical moment.

“This old Daoist has traveled the world for years, racking his brains for a way to save it, yet never found the answer. Then I read your essay and saw the line, ‘Learning medicine cannot save the Han.’ Only then did I see the truth!”

“What truth did you see?”

Jiang Cheng thought he was a fan. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile, and his eyes brightened.

“Heaven is dead. The Yellow Heaven shall rise!” the old Daoist declared.

Jiang Cheng: “???”

This is the story of a man forced to join the Yellow Turbans, using modern knowledge to play at being an immortal and build a Yellow Turban utopia.

“I, your venerable master, pity all living beings and grant you the wondrous Five Phases art of Qimen Dunjia!”

“Metal Escape: blast-furnace steelmaking. Wood Escape: hybrid rice. Water Escape: steam power. Fire Escape: gunpowder. Earth Escape: concrete...”

“You ask me what cultivating immortality means?”

“Left zero, right fire, Thunder God, aid me! Sugar and nitrate, boundless magic!”
