About the Game

◆ Story


During the Three Kingdoms era, warlords vied for supremacy, aspiring to unify the Central Plains through strategy and warfare. Yet, amidst the continuous conflict, the long-awaited era of peace and prosperity for the common people remained elusive. The chaos of the Three Kingdoms entered its latter stage after enduring years of incessant battles.

In the year 223 AD, on his deathbed, the ailing Emperor Liu Bei entrusted me with the care of his orphaned daughter, Liu Shan, to assist her in ruling and even suggested my intervention in case of her inability to lead. However, as his most loyal advisor, I could not entertain such thoughts. My true aspiration is to groom Liu Shan into a beloved and capable Empress, fostering Shu Han into a powerful nation capable of unifying the realm. This is my life's greatest ambition.

However, nothing unfolds as easily as envisioned. Ambitious stepsons eyeing power, rebellions in the southern regions, rebellious generals, and the invasion by Cao Wei posed successive challenges upon Liu Shan's ascension…

Amidst internal strife and external threats, what choices should I make to lead Shu Han toward an era of peace and prosperity while nurturing Liu Shan to become a wise and benevolent Empress?
