I, the Shu Han Crown Prince, Work in the Modern Age and Revive the Han Dynasty

In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, after the capture of Hanzhong, the Shu Han faction reached its zenith. The grand strategy from the Longzhong Plan—"holding both Jing and Yi provinces and launching a two-pronged northern expedition"—had finally materialized. Yet anyone familiar with history or the Romance of the Three Kingdoms knows that this peak would vanish within months. At that very moment, Liu Shan, the heir of Shu Han, gains a dual-world portal that allows him to travel freely between the ancient and modern worlds. In the modern era, he starts as a film extra and rises to become a top young actor, a period-drama film emperor, and the foremost antiquities appraiser. Meanwhile, back in the ancient world, he leverages modern technology and his knowledge of history to gradually reshape Shu Han's destiny—and the entire realm's economy and livelihood. Guan Yu no longer suffers defeat at Maicheng, Jingzhou is no longer stolen by petty traitors, Zhang Fei is not murdered by his own men, the fire at Yiling never ignites, the entrustment at Baidi City never occurs, and his beloved Chancellor Zhuge Liang does not perish with deep regret at Wuzhang Plains. The old jibes—"A-do, who cannot be propped up," and "so happy he forgets Shu"—no longer have any bearing on him. The two northern campaigns advance with unstoppable momentum and finally crush Cao Wei. The Jiangdong cowards surrender without a fight. He unifies the realm as a restoring sovereign. Yet this is not his end. Nurtured by the modern world, his ambitions surpass those of all emperors before him, and his vision extends far beyond the Han dynasty. When the Han develops the steam locomotive, the entire Eurasian continent will bow beneath the iron heel of the Great Han.
