After the upheaval at Wancheng, Cao Cao’s eldest legitimate son was killed, and the foundations of Wei teetered on the brink of collapse.
A modern history buff transmigrates into Cao Shuo, a concubine-born son, and uses his new body’s grief as he steps onto the board of the chaotic late Han era.
With no maternal clan to rely on and no ties to a great family, he draws on his foresight and strategic skill to resolve a crisis with three plans. His talent shines from the start, earning Cao Cao’s favor.
Internal power struggles: Caught in the struggle for succession, he keeps Cao Pi in check, crushes Cao Zhi, rallies men of humble birth, and befriends key advisors. Step by step, he takes control of Wei’s military and government.
Wars abroad: He pacifies the Wuhuan in the north, brings Liangzhou under control in the west, conquers Jingzhou and Yizhou in the south, and defeats Jiangdong in the east. He kills Liu Bei, destroys Sun Quan, and unifies the realm.
After Cao Cao’s death, he has no interest in holding a title under Wei. He abolishes the Han and founds the Zhou, replacing Wei and restoring the rightful lineage of Huaxia.
From a grieving, concubine-born son at Wancheng to the founding emperor of a unified Great Zhou, Cao Shuo writes a transmigrator’s legend in the late Han with iron resolve and political cunning!
