The moment Chen An opened his eyes, he found himself trying to assassinate Cao Cao!
Just before his blade struck, he inexplicably saved Cao Cao's life instead.
He thought he was as good as dead, but the suspicious warlord Cao Cao gazed at him intently and said, "A genius like you should become my son-in-law!"
Chen An was stunned. His assassination had failed, and now Cao Cao wanted him as a son-in-law?
From then on, he became the least welcome "good-for-nothing" son-in-law in Cao Cao's camp!
"Father-in-law, all I want is to open a tavern, farm a little, marry and have children, and live as an idle marquis!" Chen An wailed.
Cao Cao sneered. "Want to take it easy? Then build me a steam engine, invent gunpowder, improve our farming tools, and, while you're at it, wipe out Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan. Once the realm is at peace, you can relax!"
Chen An: "...Damn it!"
From Guandu to Red Cliffs, Chen An used modern knowledge to "accidentally" amaze everyone and was "forced" to change history with his extraordinary martial prowess.
By the time he inadvertently became the richest man in the realm, gained power over the court, and acquired a whole household of wives and concubines, he realized his dream of being a "good-for-nothing" was getting farther and farther away.
"Report! Father-in-law, you've pushed me into the spotlight again!"
"Report! My lord, you're pregnant again!"
Chen An looked at the mountain of memorials and the lovely wife in his arms, close to tears.
Cao Cao really is a demon!
