Three Kingdoms: I, Chen Gong, Become Regent in Cao Cao's Camp!

I transmigrated into Chen Gong and intercepted the fugitive Cao Cao in Zhongmu County, cutting off his path to becoming the “villainous hero of troubled times.” At the Lü Boshe household, I nipped in the bud the words that should have echoed through history: “I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me.” From then on, I became Wei's employee No. 0001, Cao Cao's one and only “one true love,” and the walking rulebook of the Cao camp. The rules for surviving in the Cao camp quietly changed: Guo Jia's ingenious schemes needed my approval. One word from me, “This plan will hurt the people,” and he would silently withdraw it. Xiahou Dun's blade stopped because of me. At my words, “Yuanrang, you were rash,” he would lower his head and step back. Xu Chu, the Tiger Fool, dared to glare at anyone, yet he would personally lift the tent flap for me and grin simply. “Strategist, the lord is waiting for you.” He abolished ironclad rules for me and quelled his murderous impulses for me. Everyone understood: the Cao camp could do without a million troops, but not a single day without Chen Gongtai. Years later, he took my hand on the Bronze Sparrow Terrace and changed the words known throughout the land into a vow meant only for me: “I may betray the world, but I will never betray you.” I smiled and asked in return, “What if your servant and the world you rule cannot both be yours?” He fell silent for a long while, then finally sighed: “The world... can be won again. But there is no one else in all the world like Gongtai.”
