Three Kingdoms: He Yan of Great Wei, Cao Cao Makes Me His Adopted Son

He transmigrates to the late Han Dynasty, in the Three Kingdoms era, and becomes He Yan, Cao Cao's prodigious adopted son.

To reclaim what rightfully belongs to the He family and escape his fate of being executed, he has no choice but to get involved in the struggle for succession.

But abolishing the eldest son in favor of a younger one was what ruined the Han imperial house, the Yuan family, and the Liu family of Jingzhou. It is Cao Cao's greatest taboo!

And the title of adopted son has already been tarnished by Lü Bu, making it a liability for him!

So, as someone who has no interest in being a commander,

he naturally has no interest in brilliant strategists and famous generals like Xun You, Guo Jia, and Zhang Liao.

He only likes recruiting historical losers, such as Xiahou Ba, Zhao Da, Ding Yi, and Ding Mi...

He puts these useless men to good use, while hiring the almost-supernaturally brilliant Zhuge Liang as his assistant...

And so, the whole story takes a different turn.

Cao Cao One: I have failed as a father to He Yan!

Cao Cao Two: Lü Bu, an adopted son without loyalty; Yan'er, an adopted son of great virtue!

Cao Cao Three: Yan'er and Zhen Mi are made for each other. I cannot bear to tear them apart!

Cao Cao Four: Though my son is a prodigy, there is always a trace of righteous spirit between his brows!

Cao Cao Five: My son He Yan has surpassed his teacher. Only he is worthy of wielding this Heaven-Reliant Sword!
