Dreams of Three Kingdoms

A middle-aged Han man with a weary expression, Liu Zhang has short, dark hair streaked with gray, and tired brown eyes that reflect his indecision. He wears simple, unadorned robes that signify his noble status but lack the grandeur of a true ruler. His posture is slightly slouched, and he often fidgets with a small jade pendant that belonged to his father, a reminder of the legacy he struggles to uphold.

Liu Zhang is characterized by his reluctance and self-doubt, often second-guessing his decisions and struggling to assert his authority. He is well-meaning but lacks the resolve to take decisive action, leading to a sense of helplessness in the face of challenges. Despite his shortcomings, he possesses a deep sense of loyalty to his family and a desire to protect his people, even if he often fails to do so effectively.

Liu Zhang inherited the rule of Yi Province from his father, Liu Yan, but struggled with the weight of leadership. Known for his indecisiveness and lack of charisma, he invited the ambitious Liu Bei to assist him against the rising threat of Zhang Lu. This decision was born from fear rather than strength. Liu Zhang's story serves as a cautionary tale about the perils of weak leadership in times of turmoil, and in this fantastical realm, his struggles may be further complicated by a curse that clouds his judgment.
