(My new book, "The New Book," has been released. It tells the story of a time traveler's battle against the chosen one of the worlds during the Xin Dynasty.) At the end of the Warring States period, China experienced a great upheaval unprecedented in a thousand years. Some people are born into noble families. Some of them are noblemen. He was reborn as Hei Fu, a lowly soldier in the Qin state, a minor figure in the Qin bamboo slips of Yunmeng. To avoid dying in the ravine and to take control of his own destiny, he struggled to climb upwards. Fortunately, he was born in a great era. The six kingdoms were defeated, and the world was unified! A thousand years of bloodline could not withstand the power of military merit bestowed upon one. The nobles and powerful of the six kingdoms were all trampled underfoot by Qin officials. Hei Fu could only laugh and ask: Are kings and generals born with a special destiny? He conquered the Baiyue in the south, repelled the Xiongnu in the north, forced the Di and Qiang tribes to flee west, and sent warships eastward. Within the six directions, all was the Emperor's land. How did history change under his influence? Qin Shi Huang was destined to die, and the empire would soon be divided. As a Qin official, what choice should one make: to fuel the flames or to try and save the day?

Reborn as Sun Ce, he dominates the Three Kingdoms. When he woke up from his dream, he had become Sun Ce, the Little Conqueror. His biological father, Sun Jian, was fighting in Xiangyang and his life was hanging by a thread. He had to save his father, fight for the country, and rescue both the chaotic world and the beauty, but things were not as simple as he imagined. Yuan Shao, from a family that had held high office for four generations, was very powerful, but the lack of horses in Jiangdong made it difficult to contend for supremacy. The young emperor was very intelligent, but the scholars were arrogant and naive. The aftermath of the Yellow Turban Rebellion had not yet subsided, and powerful clans were already beginning to emerge. Famous ministers and fierce generals were merely shadows on the stage; an invisible hand was pulling them from behind the scenes. There was exhilaration, regret, and helplessness, but the original intention remained unchanged. With a bit of foresight, we gathered the wisdom and strength of good ministers and brave generals to forge the backbone of a powerful civilization. This is my Three Kingdoms, and I am Sun Ce, the Little Conqueror. —— Lao Zhuang's book club: 23470572, welcome to join!
