Rebirth in the Ming Dynasty, I found myself becoming the protagonist of the crosstalk performance "Rapidly Ascending Three Levels". The story began to become interesting. It is more amusing to join Wei Gonggong and train the emperor than to follow Emperor Tianqi who was sweeping Liaodong in a Tianqi tank. By then, the Ming Dynasty was no longer the same.

Chen Xi looked at the soldier who effortlessly threw away a huge stone weighing hundreds of kilograms, speechless as she gazed at the sky. Was this really the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty? Lu Bu, armed with only a spear, broke through an army of thousands of men. It just doesn't seem scientifically possible.

Dian Wei alone protected Cao Cao, charging through enemy lines and effortlessly slaying thousands of cavalry. His combat prowess is off the charts! Something doesn't seem right here. Chen Xi absentmindedly touched her feather fan and waved it casually. Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and she sighed. "Is this mythology? I don't even feel normal myself."
