    Default Romance of the Three Kingdoms (ROTK) - 三國演義 - Shan Guo Yan Yi.

    ROTK is one of the greatest novels of Chinese literature.
    Though it can't be classified as wuxia fiction but if you're interested in wuxia fiction, you'll most likely love this novel too, because from the 14th century on, it has had an enormous effect on Chinese literature, including wuxia fiction.
    In ROTK you can find great battles, great fighters, great masterminds, great leaders, great brotherhood, great loyalty...
    Don't be hesitant anymore, just download the English translation of ROTK and enjoy it.

    Yang Guo & Zhou Botong said in Chapters 6, 11 & 25 of ROCH:
    - 这道姑也算得美了,只是还不及桃花岛郭伯母,更加不及我姑姑。
    - 原来郭伯母竟是这般美貌,小时候我却不觉得。
    - 龙姑娘,我瞧你品貌才智,和那小黄蓉不相上下,武功也跟她差不离。

    I wouldn't be surprised if it was taken off because of copyright issues. Anyways, I found this translation http://www.eze33.com/war/sanguo/sanguo.htm Don't know how good it is... I'm a little bothered by the fact that the opening sentence (1) doesn't have quite the dramatic ring I remembered it to have in Brewitt-Taylor and (2) is grammatically incorrect. But hopefully it'll satisfy your Three Kingdoms craving.

    EDIT: Also just found this: http://home.pacbell.net/daxmei/sanguo_files/sanguo.html Caveat: It's incomplete, and the opening sentence is even more of a mouthful. It might be more accurate.

    One of the best novels I've read. I't can't be described really, from the start til the end it will captiviate you in their world of treachery and honour. Outlaws of the Marsh is really great too, although it's different form ROTK in alot of ways. You might like the one and not the other, so please if you don't like one, don't let it deter you to read the other!

    On the Threekingdoms.com site, I'm a frequent member of threekingdoms.com. They are currently changing server which caused the downtime, It ewas supposed to be a week at most, but it has been dragged on for quite a while now.

    I'm sure it'll be back up again soon though. Also, not only can you read the novel there, there's also a chess like war game there for whoever wishes to participate.

    Wow, there's actually a RoTK thread in the middle of wuxia translations!

    Well, it's up alright. I've been there about two days ago. It's running fine and smooth, so try it out.

    And just for your information, if you have some free times to spend and is interested in RoTK, you can try www.simrtk.net, it's a forum-based ORPG, with a massive number of players. However, I must inform you that the storyline is altered, though many of the actual persons from the history appears as NPCs. You won't find uberpowered ones like Zhuge Kongming, though.
