My Girlfriend Is Lu Qiling

Li Yi transmigrates to the Three Kingdoms and opens his eyes in Xiapi, the city where Lü Bu is about to be defeated.

No System, no provisions, just a silent alien artifact strapped to his wrist.

To survive the chaotic times, he relies on his engineering mindset and a watch that works only now and then.

With Diaochan’s secret help, he and Lü Bu’s daughter, Lü Qiling, become husband and wife in the face of utter desperation.

As the city falls, Lü Bu sends him and his wife and daughter onto the last path to safety:

“Protect them. I owe you my life!”

With three hundred battered soldiers, Li Yi flees into the wilderness. They are starving and freezing, with pursuers on their heels.

At death’s door, his wristwatch suddenly grows hot.

There is no chime, no text.

Deep within the watch face, only two figures from the depths of his memory appear:

One curses in a gruff voice. The other adjusts his glasses.

That night, two more people are sitting beside the campfire.

Li Yunlong hefts a wineskin and grins. “What a lousy way to fight a war!”

Zhao Gang wipes his glasses, his gaze calm. “Take a head count first. The wounded come first.”

Li Yi is stunned. He didn’t summon them.

The watch had “decided” he needed them.

Even more unsettling,

when he tries to call upon the watch’s power again,

Zhao Gang grabs his wrist:

“Li Yi, if the new world we build

has to be bought by erasing other people’s souls,

then it’s not worth building.”

Lü Qiling’s halberd stands planted in the earth, silent as a mountain.

Li Yunlong takes a swig of wine, his laughter shaking the night dew from the treetops.

“Old Zhao’s right! When our Independent Regiment fights, **

we win fair and square!”

So the protagonist gives up that unfathomable golden finger and chooses instead to carve out a place for himself in the Three Kingdoms under the guidance of two great leaders.
