Transmigrated to the Three Kingdoms: I, Cao Zhi, Refuse to Be the Prince of Chen Si

Li Ming, a modern military enthusiast, unexpectedly transmigrates into the Three Kingdoms era and becomes Cao Zhi, Cao Cao's third son, renowned for his talent. Everyone knows the Prince of Chen was so gifted he could compose a poem in seven steps, and that he was peerlessly elegant. But no one knows that within this body lies a heart well versed in military strategy and set on winning the realm. With his elder brother Cao Pi closing in at every turn, he conceals his sharpness, using an appearance of scholarly weakness as armor and poetry as a shield, carefully navigating the fierce struggle for the heir's position. He applies modern military thinking to improve the scouting system, eases the army's food shortages with new policies for farming on garrison lands, protects Cao Cao amid the flames of Chibi, and quells Ma Chao's rebellion amid the chaos in Guanzhong... From Prince of Dong'e to heir to the throne of Wei, from literary star to commander of the three armies, he shatters the verdict that one can be brilliant yet utterly helpless. He rallies men from humble backgrounds, breaks the power of the great clans, contends with Cao Pi, and resists Zhuge Liang, until at last he takes the reins of power amid the flames of a chaotic age. When the poet once famed for composing in seven steps stands atop the walls of Luoyang, what he holds is no longer brush and ink, but the sword and cauldron that will end the division. This time, in the name of the Cao clan, he will forge a truly unified empire.
