History major and office drone Cao Ang pulls an all-nighter working on his thesis, then wakes up as Cao Cao's eldest son, who died young!
Faced with a hellish start [The Tragedy of Wancheng, countdown: 7 days], he immediately falls apart:
“Dian Wei's sacrifice CG? Cao Ang's doomed script? Was this transmigration-into-a-book perk mass-produced by the King of Hell?”
To stay alive, he decides to upend history with modern-day shenanigans:
He tells Cao Cao not to take Zou Shi as a concubine: “Dad! Widows are highly flammable. Force the marriage and you'll trigger Lu Bu Pro Max's villain arc!”
He gives Dian Wei poison-prevention tips: “The wine by your bedside is more deadly than arsenic! Bro, let's just camp by the door and play dirty!”
He goes off on Jia Xu: “Wenhe, your plot is so outdated. Watch me turn this into a real show!”
When a poisoned arrow pierces his chest, he is still complaining as pain clouds his mind:
“One star... This transmigration-into-a-book trial expired way too fast...”
Then he hears a ding in his mind:
[Ding! You've roasted history off its original course. Your absurdity meter has exploded, unlocking the Meme-Bending-Fate System!]
From then on, the Three Kingdoms takes a complete turn for the bizarre:
He sees blood-red comments floating above Cao Cao's head: [Suspicion: 91%] [Killing intent ↓ Fatherly love ↑]
He pulls out penicillin to save himself: “Mix cephalosporins with alcohol and you're off to meet your maker... Dad! Give me a skin test, quick!”
He sends Zhuge Liang a virtual rocket: “Brother Wolong, that Borrowing Arrows with Straw Boats play was fire! I sent a rocket, now let's collab!”
He makes Sima Yi experience the mortifying “Three Horses in One Trough” scene.
He plays “Easily Inflamed and Explosive” for Zhou Yu at Red Cliffs.
When Cao Wei's iron cavalry tramples Wu and Shu, he sits on the dragon throne and sighs:
“Uniting the Three Kingdoms wasn't hard. Getting the ancients to understand puns is!”
