Features: The same Three Kingdoms, a different Romance. Recognized as the best retelling of Romance of the Three Kingdoms in China, Japan, and South Korea. When history meets legend, history will vanish into thin air, while legend will endure forever! Unrestrained imagination and grand narrative make The Three Kingdoms in the Jianghu Style a classic among classics. Since its popularity in Japan and South Korea 20 years ago, its influence has gradually spread worldwide. Chinese readers are expected to experience even greater surprises and joy from it. Compared to the imperial grandeur of the original, this book is a version for the common people, a modern version, a humorous version, lively and witty, sharp and biting, sometimes reckless, sometimes relentless, thrilling at its peaks and hilarious at its funniest—it is the Jianghu version. Legend indeed needs the best reading material. This book tells twelve stories, including "Beating the Drums to Curse Cao Cao," "Guan Yu Surrenders to Cao Cao," "Liu Bei Joins Jingzhou," "Recommending Zhuge Liang on Horseback," and "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage." The Zhuge Liang in this book is entirely different from the original. In the original, Zhuge Liang is immediately stereotyped as "achieving great merit in the and fame in the eight formations," but in this book, Zhuge Liang's initial somber tone adds a touch of melancholy to the brilliant Three Kingdoms story that follows! Zhuge Liang is truly difficult, just like Zhang Fei! Zhang Fei cannot leave Liu Bei, but why can't Zhuge Liang? The pair from Longzhong produce not only the "" but also... If the master knew what was in store, he would surely be pleased!
