The Three Kingdoms: My Father Is Liu Xu

One morning, I woke up as the son of Liu Yao, the famous unfortunate man of the Three Kingdoms—and I only have one year of buffer time left?

Historically, my father was mediocre and died after a crushing defeat; I, this so-called “filial son,” would only be a brief footnote too. Faced with this hellish start, Liu Ji laughs: perfect, then Jiangdong will be under my control!

It’s not persuading Father; it’s “guiding” him. Using future knowledge and “prophecies,” step by step he becomes the indispensable, heaven-sent prodigy his father cannot do without.

Short on money? Salt drying, brewing, and refining steel—modern technology is the first productive force.

Short on people? Discover Yu Jin and Taishi Ci among the ranks, visit Zhou Yu and Lu Su in their thatched cottages. Famous generals and ministers? They’ll all become future pillars of the state.

When Sun Ce ambitiously tries to seize Jiangdong, he finds every step blocked by a wall of iron.

When Cao Cao sighs, “A son should be like Sun Zhongmou,” everyone in the world says, “The lord of Jiangdong is Liu Ji alone.”

Gather the Three Kingdoms’ fierce generals and take in the realm’s strategists. This vast empire—I will forge it myself from this southeastern corner.
