Legends of the Ji Han Heroes

(This novel has no System, no harem, no cardboard characters, one female lead, and one romance. It combines political intrigue with passionate action, gives heroic figures their moments in the spotlight, and includes a little farming, all in an ensemble cast.)

The Later Han of the Three Kingdoms was a great clash and reshuffling of the commoner gentry, petty landowners, aristocratic clans, and great landowning families of the scholar-official class.
