Did heroes write history or did history create heroes?... more>>

Someone returned to the time of the Three Kingdoms Era, which was originally just history to him, and he became a hero.

Some people transmigrate into Emperors, others become wangye.... more>>

They live in luxury; their hands covering the Heavens.

But Li Changtian, a stand up young man from a good family, who died on the battlefield protecting someone, widened his eyes.

He! Transmigrated!

Into a person everyone wanted dead, with an unabsolvable crime!

Li Changtian: “??? Wait wait, did something go wrong somewhere?”

The magistrate of the Imperial Justice Bureau, Yan Shu, who hated injustice more than anything in the world had just stepped onto his head and said in an ice cold voice: “A life for a life.”
