Curator note

The glint of swords and the clang of drums faded into the distance, and the wheels of history rolled into 263 AD, marking the quiet end of an era belonging to heroes. The exact year the Three Kingdoms period ended has been a subject of ongoing debate throughout history—was it 265 AD, when Sima Yi usurped the Wei throne, or 280 AD, when the Western Jin Dynasty conquered Wu? But no one can deny that from the moment Shu Han fell in 263 AD, the tripartite balance of power had already come to an end. A modern-day special police officer dies in the line of duty but unexpectedly finds his soul inhabiting the body of Liu Yin, the Prince of Anping. Originally, he wanted to follow Liu Shan to Luoyang to live a carefree life and forget about Shu, but the blood of the mighty ruler Liu Bei flowing in his veins made him unwilling to sink into such a state. He turned the tide, saved the collapsing empire, made a comeback in Yinping, single-handedly held up the sky, struggled to survive in desperate situations, inherited the Han ancestral rites, wiped out the Five Barbarian Tribes, and unified the world. PS: My new book, "The Last Three Kingdoms 2: The Rise of Wei," has started. It's still set in the familiar history of the late Three Kingdoms period. Please support it!
