Three Kingdoms: Stop Pretending, You're Cao Cao

Cao Yun transmigrates to the late Eastern Han dynasty, just as his adoptive father is about to return home in glory after joining the uprising at Chenliu five years ago.

That year, Yanzhou is stricken by a severe drought, while bandits and Yellow Turban remnants run rampant. Cao Cao leads his troops on an inspection of the counties in Chenliu Commandery, hunting down the rebels.

When Cao Cao passes Cao Village outside Guyang County and enters the village with Dian Wei to rest, Cao Yun assumes his adoptive father has finally returned.

The moment Cao Cao steps inside, he is stunned by the table piled high with sweet potatoes.

Cao Cao: "You're saying this crop yields six thousand jin per mu?"

Cao Yun: "Go on, take a wild guess."

Cao Cao: "┌.Д.┐"

After that, Cao Cao is repeatedly astonished by his adoptive son and no longer dares reveal his identity.

Until one day, Cao Yun starts to suspect something is off about his adoptive father. It seems he has an absurdly high position in Cao Cao's camp.

Cao Yun decides to expose his adoptive father's identity: "Drop the act. I know you're Cao Cao!"

Cao Cao: "No, I'm not!"
