The Carefree Prince of the Three Kingdoms

Cao Jian transmigrates into Cao Cao's sickly eldest son, who died young. He had planned to lie flat and give up, but the System insists he wreck the Three Kingdoms.

So all the officials watch as this coughing prince pulls a popcorn machine out during a military meeting.

"Rules? Rules are just there to make a sound when you break them."

At the Battle of Guandu, he air-drops itching powder, making Yuan Shao's army laugh until their formation collapses.

On the eve of the Battle of Red Cliffs, he plays mahjong on the deck and casually writes a forecast of the east wind on the table.

Zhuge Liang: "This boy commands troops like a child splashing in the water. He doesn't follow any rules!"

Zhou Yu: "Since there is a Zhou Yu, why is there a Jian... and why the hell is he such a clown?"

He saves Cao Ang, recruits Zhao Yun, takes Guo Jia under his wing, and trains Dian Wei to become an admiral.

"One more player needed. Anyone in? Your old friend from the East, Cao 'Street Rat' Jian."

Cao Cao: "My son is truly gifted, but... could you act a little more seriously?"

Cao Jian tosses out a nautical chart. "Father, give the throne to my younger brother, and leave the ocean to me. We'll each carve out our own part of the world!"
