After Cao Langlang works himself to death, he transmigrates into the Three Kingdoms as Cao Cao’s illegitimate son. He recruits Zhao Yun, marries Wenji, and brings Kongming into his service, assembling a team of civil and military talent. As governor of Jingzhou, he ensures everyone has enough to eat and warm clothes to wear, and can get a good education. He later destroys Lü Bu, defeats Liu Bei, pacifies Eastern Wu, and divides the realm with Cao Cao, ruling each side of the Yangtze. When Cao Langlang launches his northern campaign against Wei, Cao Cao is stunned. “What? My son Langlang has brought his personally trained army to rebel against me? Quick, send Langlang ten thousand warhorses and ten cities!” Cao Cao throws his head back and laughs. “When my Lang’er reaches Xuchang, I’ll tell him to his face: The truth is out. I, Cao Cao, am your real father!”
