Three Kingdoms: A Lord of Great Wei, Son of Cao Mengde

In 208 AD, Cao Cao's beloved son Cao Chong, just thirteen years old, died under mysterious circumstances. The great warlord Cao Cao was overcome with grief, wailing for three days and three nights.

During that time, his heir Cao Pi came to comfort him. In his grief and fury, Cao Cao roared, "Chong's death is my misfortune, but your good fortune!"

Cao Pi was chilled to the bone by those words.

Eight years passed in the blink of an eye.

Eight years later, Cao Cao wielded power like Emperor Wu of Wei, rising to the highest position beneath the throne.

He now held immense power, controlling six of the nine provinces. Though he lacked the title of emperor, he possessed all the authority of one.

Yet emperors have always been lonely. In his solitude, Cao Cao often wandered the streets, seeking the warmth of ordinary life.

During one unremarkable outing, his head ailment suddenly struck, and a young man named Cao Hao came to his rescue.

When Cao Cao awoke, he found that the young man named Cao Hao bore a striking resemblance to his beloved son, Cao Chong.

Cao Hao's appearance soothed Cao Cao's grief over losing his son, but after spending every day together for a month, Cao Cao began to realize...

Cao Hao did not merely look like Cao Chong.

Cao Hao seemed to be Cao Chong himself!
