The Rise of the Underclass in the Three Kingdoms

Love for one's close relatives can be perilous, as it may jeopardize one's own well-being. When a minister becomes too powerful, it is inevitable that the ruler's position will be threatened. If brothers do not submit to authority, it will endanger the stability of the state. The rise of treacherous ministers leads to the decline of the righteous path. The vast territories of feudal lords pose a danger to the emperor. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the empire was in great chaos, with powerful eunuchs and influential relatives causing harm to the nation, while regional warlords seized power, leaving the Han Dynasty in name only. The Yuan family, composed of officials and scholars from the fourth generation, sought to rule the world. Cao Mengde, a visionary figure despite being labeled as an unworthy eunuch, gathered talents and aimed to dominate the central plains. Jiangdong has always produced heroes, from the formidable tiger Sun Jian who swept all enemies, to the young hero Sun Ce who established the foundation of Eastern Wu, and Sun Quan, who inherited the legacy of his father and brothers and aspired to become an emperor. Liu Bei, renowned for his righteousness and unmatched fame as a descendant of the Han Dynasty, spent half of his life wandering, until Zhuge Liang appeared and provided the perfect strategy for dividing the realm into three. In his later years, Liu Xuan, known as Liu Bei, finally achieved his ambition to become a hegemon. Guo Jia, a talented strategist who died prematurely, was an important advisor to Cao Wei in history. When a time-traveler takes the place of Guo Jia, the brilliant and resourceful strategist is transformed into someone with a completely different destiny, embarking on another grand and eventful life.

Tang Dynasty's excellent imperial horseman Fiction
Tang Dynasty's excellent imperial horseman

When he traced his roots, modern-day Changsun Chong was sucked into a post-apocalyptic space. In order to reunite with his parents, he had no choice but to be sent back to the Tang Dynasty and become Changsun Chong, the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty. Arriving in the Tang Dynasty, he was unfamiliar with the place and naturally needed to embrace the biggest thigh. The emperor was the biggest, so Li Er it is! Li Er was a good emperor, a successful ruler, but not a good brother, son, or father. In order to successfully embrace the thickest thigh, Changsun Chong went all out to flatter his brother-in-law, Li Er, helping him show filial respect to the empress dowager and train the imperial princes. Unfortunately, he discovered that this wasn't enough. Those sons-in-law, except for him, Changsun Chong, were all no good. He had to train them for Li Er as well. Spittle flew as Li Er waved his hand, directing the country: "Having just one good son is not enough. I want a group of good sons; having just one good son-in-law is not enough. I want a group of good sons-in-law." Changsun Chong timidly raised his hand and said, "Are you sure we're training princes and sons-in-law, and not raising pigs, herding cattle, and letting horses run wild?"
