Cao Rui had barely transmigrated before facing his father’s death, becoming Emperor Ming of Wei. He had only thirteen years left to live, twenty-three years before Sima Yi launched the Gaopingling Incident, and a little over fifty years before the Five Barbarians ravaged China.
Cao Rui was under tremendous pressure. Zhuge Liang was sharpening his blade outside, while Sima Yi watched like a tiger from within.
Was he supposed to let Sima Yi usurp the throne? Let the Five Barbarians ravage China? Let the Han people be slaughtered to the last?
Cao Rui refused to accept that. Since he had come to this world, he would reunify China, spread the fame of Great Wei far and wide, and then wipe out little Japan for good measure. Now that was what it meant to be a great man!
