Wei Chong's Schemes That Shook the Three Kingdoms

Wei Chong's Stratagems and Judgments in the Three Kingdoms is an epic blending historical transmigration, court intrigue, and the storms of the battlefield. When the soul of a modern history student enters the body of Cao Chong, a child prodigy in the waning years of the Eastern Han, he knows not only that he is destined to die at thirteen, but also how the Three Kingdoms will end: the Sima clan will seize the realm of Cao Wei. Determined to rewrite history, this transmigrator, hidden behind the guise of a child prodigy, sets an astonishing plan in motion amid the dangers of the Cao household and the turbulent age.

He stuns the world by weighing an elephant, yet hides sharp insight behind a child's words and actions as he tests the sincerity of Cao Cao's strategists. He uncovers poison plots in the inner residence and secretly builds the Shadow Guard, a force of loyal operatives, weaving an intelligence network that spans court and country. In the struggle over the heir, he cleverly drives a wedge between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi. With political strategy and tactics far ahead of his time, he displays his talent for governance in his arguments for the tuntian farming system, prevents the chaining together of ships before the Battle of Red Cliffs, and takes his schemes of discord to new heights at the Battle of Tong Pass. Facing his destined nemesis, Sima Yi, he advances carefully, from predicting his eagle-eyed gaze and wolfish bearing to setting a trap and closing the net, ultimately strangling this lurking “Tomb Tiger” before he can rise.

With a modern mind, Cao Chong reconstructs the logic of political intrigue, stages bloody courtly power struggles in the shadowy inner residence, and turns the tide of battle with improved tactics. He even shakes the foundations of the great clans with his theory that Heaven's mandate rests with Cao. When he finally stands atop the Bronze Sparrow Terrace, what he holds in his hands is not only the power of Cao Wei, but the course of history, utterly rewritten. The shadow of the Sima clan is crushed, and a new dynasty led by a transmigrator opens an entirely different path to unification amid the chaos of the Three Kingdoms, with iron will and wisdom.
