Three Kingdoms: My Identity as Cao Cao's Eldest Son Is Exposed

In the second year of Jian'an, Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, accompanied him on an expedition against Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu surrendered with all his forces, then immediately rebelled and launched a surprise attack on Cao Cao. In their hour of peril, Cao Ang gave his horse to Cao Cao and stayed behind to cover his retreat, dying in battle at Wancheng.

Back in Xuchang, Cao Cao flew into a rage. He defeated Zhang Xiu twice in battle, but still couldn't recover his eldest son Cao Ang's body.

In the fourth year of Jian'an, beside a small river outside Xuchang, Cao Zhi had been transmigrating through the Three Kingdoms era for two years.

He was now recounting his past to a burly, bearded man.

"Big Beard, I'll tell you a secret: I can't remember anything from before I turned twenty-one."

"Two years ago, I crawled out of a pile of corpses, and a whole squad of soldiers chased me down, trying to hack me to pieces!"

The big, bearded man suddenly froze. After a long silence, tears streamed down his face.

Old man: "Child, do you want to unite the Three Kingdoms and have your name live forever?"

Cao Zhi: "Damn it, you wouldn't say something like that if you'd even had a peanut!"

Big Beard: "I'll tell you a secret too. My name is Cao Cao, and you're my son!"
