Description

The Late Han and Three Kingdoms: A History of China, PART ONE takes you on a fast-paced ride through one of the most dramatic times in Chinese history. It all starts with chaos—peasants in yellow turbans rise up, shaking an ancient empire to its core. While the court scrambles, corrupt eunuchs call the shots, and desperate officials turn to warlords for help. That's when things go from bad to worse. Dong Zhuo storms into the palace and takes control, but instead of peace, he brings fire.

From that moment on, the land breaks apart. Ambitious leaders like Cao Cao begin their climb, carving out power in a country up for grabs. Liu Bei, sworn brother to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, wants to do the right thing—but survival doesn't always play fair. Lü Bu, caught between love and loyalty, swings his halberd through betrayal and heartbreak. Diao Chan plays a quiet but deadly game in a world where women are often overlooked.

You'll follow epic battles, narrow escapes, and shifting alliances—from the Suanzao campaign to the fall of Lü Bu. Watch as Sun Ce, the young tiger of Jiangdong, fights like a storm to build a kingdom, only for fate to pass the torch to his brother Sun Quan. All the while, Cao Cao races down a path of revenge, gaining power with each move, until the emperor himself becomes a pawn in a much bigger game.

By the time the story reaches the tense standoff at Wan City, no one is safe. Armies clash, trust breaks, and every decision has a price. From sieges to backroom plots, this isn't a history lesson—it's a living, breathing saga of ambition, loyalty, and survival.
