Jian'an: Asked to Leave on Payday

Modern corporate drone Zhang Xiaobai, on payday, catches his lover betraying him. He dies in the ensuing conflict, and his soul transmigrates to the late Eastern Han dynasty, becoming Zhang Jun, son of Zhang Yang, the Governor of Henei. It is the first year of Jian'an, and the realm is fracturing. His father Zhang Yang struggles to survive in the crevice, caught in the vortex of three powers: Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Lü Bu. Carrying memories of a later era, he wants to keep his family safe, yet repeatedly gets dragged into perilous gambles: a mission to Ye, an ambush, a near death at Mount Tai, maneuvering among great clans and warlords. The road ahead is littered with schemes and blades. An engagement falls through, brothers-in-arms die in battle—in this chaotic world there is no peaceful haven. He struggles and searches amid blood and fire, making hard choices between loyalty and survival, writing a tale of a Henei nobleman's rise and fall in the late Han. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Jian'an: Asked to Leave on Payday — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
