# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Liu Bei was born in 161 AD into the twilight of the Eastern Han. While rivals like Cao Cao seized the imperial heartland and controlled the puppet emperor, Liu Bei gathered those who opposed the new order and pushed south and west. He built his own realm across what is now Sichuan, Chongqing, Guizhou, Hunan, and fragments of four other provinces — founding Shu Han, one of the Three Kingdoms. He died on 10 June 223. Centuries later, Romance of the Three Kingdoms cast him as the paragon of Confucian kingship: humane, loyal, beloved. The novel's reach made the legend stick. Historians note the gap between image and method: his rule looked Confucian but ran on Legalist gears.
