Features: Chinese Imagination Fiction, Extraordinarily Brilliant. Covered by numerous media and praised by readers. The most terrifying imagination in history, recreating the Three Kingdoms world 1800 years ago. Some see absurdity, some see gravity, some see explosiveness—what do you see? Heroes from 1800 years ago, achieving a scholar—Luo Guanzhong—in the Ming Dynasty, and a fantasy writer—Na Duo—in the modern era. Na Duo chose the Three Kingdoms, an era of China rife with war, changing fortunes, and rising heroes. He completely abandoned various official and unofficial histories, broke the conventions of predecessors, and pushed parodies to the extreme. In today's era of rampant parodies, taking parodies to their peak is also the author's success. The pervasive imagination and humor throughout the novel might even allow the most serious readers to appreciate the art of comedy, sparking numerous online comments. Despite discarding tradition so thoroughly, the novel still inherits a certain spirit of the Three Kingdoms era—their independent spirit, patience and solitude before gaining fame, and their desire to conquer the world. Perhaps the essence of this novel lies in this very thing.
