An urban young man with an in-depth understanding of the history of the Three Kingdoms and knowledge of modern management and engineering accidentally traveled through time and became Cao Cao after the assassination failed. He not only carries a prediction of the direction of history, but also has a "life simulator" that can simulate the future as a golden finger. However, every simulation reveals that in the face of the torrent of history and the complexity of human nature, simple "prediction" is not omnipotent.
He was determined to end the troubled times, but he did not want to repeat the historical path of Cao Cao, who "held the emperor hostage to order the princes". He wanted to combine "kingly" and "tyrannical" and use modern thinking to transform this era: build water conservancy, improve agricultural tools, establish a grassroots administrative system, break the monopoly of the gentry, and promote new education...
His enemies are not only the covetous princes Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan, but also the intricate old order and inertia. How will he balance sticking to certain boundaries with the necessary ruthlessness? When Guo Jia is still weak, when Xun Yu still loves the Han Dynasty, when Guan Yu finally has to pass five levels and kill six generals... Can he, the "different Cao Cao", truly reverse those regrets and create a truly unified and powerful new empire?
This is a road to reunification that no one has ever traveled. He not only has to fight against the sky, the earth, and people, but also has to have a fierce game with the "history" he knows and the modern soul deep in his heart.
