1* AccidentalInnuendo: [[TheComicallySerious Cao Ren]] is prone to these.
2* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: The whole work is basically a flip of the standard interpretation. Liu Bei is a slimy, cowardly, treacherous jerk. Cao Cao is still a MagnificentBastard, but he's much more humanized and often sympathetic. Sun Quan is simply a NiceGuy. Zhuge Liang is unambiguously evil, and often appears to be a charlatan.
3* CreatorsPet: Literally with Zhuge Liang, as the narrator is on his side.
4* HoYay:
5** Between a few couples of heroic characters. It's stated that after Guo Si and Li Jue make up in chapter 13, they stare into each other's eyes while the music swells.
6** Between Sun Ce and Taishi Ci. Though this is really, ''really'' not subtextual so much as it's actual canon that they're an item.
7* MoralEventHorizon:
8** Zhuge Liang does careful math to avoid crossing it, but YMMV on whether he actually succeeds.
9** Liu Bei arguably crosses it in Chapter 19 when he isn't instantly horrified that he's eaten Liu An's wife. The chapter title is even "In which Liu Bei loses the moral high ground in every conceivable way and several inconceivable ones"
10* {{Squick}}:
11** The "world's worst smoothie" in Chapter 2, made of various bodily wastes. Eww.
