He wakes up to find himself as Cao Pi, the newly enthroned Emperor Wen of Wei.
In the great hall, Cao Zhi is trembling as he takes seven steps.
Kill his younger brother? Not interested. Unify the realm? Too much work.
He looks at the Goddess of the Luo River, Zhen Mi, kneeling outside the hall and pleading for mercy, then glances at the alluring Guo Nuwang beside him.
Cao Pi decides that being the emperor of Wei calls for a different approach!
“Zijian, that was a fine poem. I’ll reward you with ten jars of good wine. Now get lost and go write a book.”
After sending his good-for-nothing younger brother on his way, Cao Pi rubs his hands together and walks toward his stunning sister-in-law... no, his legal wife, Zhen Mi.
“My beloved consort, the ground is cold. Shall I carry you back to the palace to warm you up?”
This is the story of a modern soul who, in this turbulent age, focuses on courting the beauties of the Three Kingdoms, dabbling in invention along the way, and getting Liu Bei and Sun Quan worked up.
(Warning: No angst or misery, just wine and women... no, just music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and lovely companions by his side.)
It's a bit shameful to say that Cao Zhi is a fat man, but I think Cao Pi, who is addicted to sugar, may be even fatter, not to mention that Zijian himself likes to drink, write poems and have fun.
