Three Kingdoms: A Rebellious Son from the Start, and Cao Cao Is Losing It!

When modern college student Cao Ang woke up, he discovered he had transmigrated into the body of Cao Cao’s eldest son, the tragic cannon fodder destined to die in his father’s place at the Battle of Wancheng!

With death fast approaching, his own father Cao Cao was about to throw him out of the house for talking back. At this desperate moment, the Strategic Simulation System activated, laying future battle plans out before him as clearly as patterns in his palm.

At a military council, Cao Ang spoke with conviction in the face of Cao Cao and the assembled strategists and generals, who all looked down on him: “Zhang Xiu is pretending to surrender. He’ll rebel in three days!”

Cao Cao sneered. “You little brat, how dare you make such a claim?”

Yet that very night, Zhang Xiu’s envoy was spotted moving about, just as Cao Ang had predicted... Cao Cao was so shocked that his bamboo slips fell to the floor. For the first time, he took this “rebellious son” seriously.

On the night of Wancheng, amid flashing blades and clashing swords, Cao Ang not only escaped the death that had been all but certain, but also unexpectedly gained the mighty general Zhang Xiu and the poisonous strategist Jia Xu. Before he could even come to terms with this “great gift,” Cao Cao dumped both men and a pile of difficult problems on him.

Within, he must bring arrogant soldiers and fierce generals to heel; without, the warlords of the realm watch like tigers waiting to pounce. Watch as Cao Ang uses his foreknowledge and the System to navigate the chessboard of a chaotic age, advancing one step at a time from a “cannon fodder” with his life hanging by a thread to someone who earns Cao Cao’s respect and builds a great enterprise of his own!
