Name: The Chessboard of Cao Wei in the Later Three Kingdoms
Author: Dudu Who Lives on the Moon

Synopsis

In the later years of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Jing considered himself fortunate. At least he was born into the Cao Wei imperial clan. But perhaps he had bad luck, because he was reborn as the grandson of the Prince of Chen, the descendant of the man whose brother Emperor Wen had threatened to kill unless he composed a poem in seven steps. By the age of fourteen, his biggest takeaway was that Wei's policies were truly something: you moved two or three times a year, and were either moving or on your way to move. At last, he moved to Ye City, only to be thrown in jail on his very first day. So Cao Jing decided to become a player, shaping his own fate and controlling the fates of others, giving everyone a future worth looking forward to.
