Jing Zhou, in this time of chaos, is relatively calm compared to other states. Thanks to the leadership of its governor, Liu Biao, it becomes a very prosperous state. Therefore, many scholars flock in this region. One of them was the infamous Master Sima Hui, whose nickname was Shui Jing (Still Water). Sima Hui was a very famous teacher in the entire Han Kingdom. He teaches in his house, where his students gather to listen to his lessons.

This is a chaotic time indeed. After Liu Bei’s defeated, nobody knows whereabouts him. Therefore, Cao Cao may turn his attention to either Yuan Shao or Liu Biao in Jing Zhou. One day, in Master Shui Jing’s house, he asked his student, who will eventually hold the entire power? All his students voted Cao Cao as their best candidate except Kong Ming (Zhuge Liang) has different opinion with them.

As in his opinion, although the Emperor’s star doesn’t shine brightly, there were three other bright stars before Cao Cao’s star. The struggle of this empire has just begun. Everyone was curious about who were the three stars that Kong Ming mentioned just now. Then, he continued, the first star belongs to Yuan Shao in Ji Zhou, the second one belongs to Sun Quan in Wu. Nevertheless, Yuan Shao’s star has no prospect. Kong Ming did not mention who was the third one but only explained that he hasn’t showed up yet. “As I gaze upon the sky, as the sun grows dim. The cosmos bears three stars, brightly shine onto the earth”. That was Kong Ming’s favorite poem. It was the poem from the ancient Qi Kingdom.

18 years ago, in the autumn of 180 A.D. The entire China was engulfed in a solar eclipse. That was in Xu Zhou state. Broad daylight was suddenly turned into darkness. This is why paranormal at the time foretold the age of caos. Kong Ming was born just when the sun is out of the eclipse. To his father (Zhuge Gui), it was a very good sign. Since the sunlight starts shining again, he gave him the name “Liang” (means “light/ bright”). And also call him Kong Ming (Piercing Light) as for this style name.

When Kong Ming was 3 years old at 184 A.D., China fell into a peasant started rebellion called the Yellow Turbans. A religious leader, Zhang Jiao, managed to gather hundreds and thousands of followers. In his attempt to overthrow the Han dynasty, China fell into a great chaos. As when the ravaging army of the Yellow Turbans entered Xu Zhou, countless of innocents fell became victim.

Kong Ming was deeply saddened due to his nanny killed by the Yellow Turbans. He was especially sad because he personally witnessed how she died. Since that happened, Kong Ming was taught not to be dependent upon others in his life.

Soon after, Yellow Turban rebellion was suppressed. However, Han dynasty didn’t go out of the caos. The imperial court was then promoted the dictator Prime Minister Dong Zhuo, who soon made Luo Yang in constant fear. Growing tired of Dong Zhuo dictatorship, a coalition army was formed to attack him in Luo Yang.

Gongsun Zan was the one who first led the troops to attack Dong Zhuo. The main area they attacked was Si Shui gate and Hu Lao gate. However, he almost killed by Dong Zhuo’s stepson Lu Bu. Zhang Fei managed to safe Gongsun Zan in the battlefield.

After Lu Bu defeated by the three brothers, the prowess of the three brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were witnessed by all. Dong Zhuo was finally forced to leave Luo Yang.

At this time, Kong Ming was brought to Luo Yang by his elder brother, Zhuge Jin. The fall of Luo Yang frontiers, Si Shui gate and Hu Lao gate greatly demoralized Dong Zhuo’s army. He then decided to move the capital from Luo Yang to Chang Ann because of the strength of the coalition army.

The relocating to Chang An requires a tremendous amount of funds, thus, Dong Zuo decided to raise taxes and confiscate all money and valuable goods from the people for this purpose. In just few days time, the capital suddenly turned into hell. However, Kong Ming Predicted that Dong Zhuo won’t live very long, because he has done so many crimes. He knew that someone will rise up and kill that dictator.

Two years after Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang An, Dong Zhuo’s dictatorship was getting weak and many attempt to murder him secretly including Cao Cao.

Diao Chan was one of them sent by his father in order to break the ties between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu.

As Dong Zhuo was mesmerized with Diao Chan’s beauty, he never realized that it was a trap because Lu Bu at the same time also falls in love with Diao Chan.

Armed with a sweet little smile, the lady’s struggle is about to begin. One day, Lu Bu finally decided to kill Dong Zhuo by giving an excused that he received an ordered by Emperor to kill him. And that was what the young Kong Ming said and it became a reality.

After the notorious tyrant, Dong Zhuo died, another stage of chaos began. The remnants of the Yellow Turban started to act up again. The current emperor, Emperor Xian, gave an order to suppress the rebellion. Kong Ming father, Zhuge Gui, was one of those ordered to suppress the rebellion. Zhuge Gui was injured during his fight in the battlefield. Soon after, Zhuge Gui passed away. With his father’s last words, Kong Ming began his journey in this chaotic world. That was study military book hard to end this chaos.

The next year after his father murdered, the enraged of Cao Cao from Yan Zhou tried to invade Xu Zhou. The battle of supremacy among the heroes started with this small incident in Xu Zhou. Cao Cao’s million man army put Xu Zhou under siege. Zhuge Liang, and his uncle Zhuge Xuan in his flight to avoid war was also there.

Six years later, in 199 A.D., Kong Ming moved to Xiang Yang in Jing Zhou. He works in the fields when the weather is good. If it’s rainy, he stays at home studying books. Kong Ming wants to find the hero that shares his ideal in order to end the chaotic world. Kong Ming indeed is the third star that he did not mentioned earlier while in the classroom’s discussion.
