Wei Wu Opens the Heavens

What if Cao Cao hadn’t killed Hua Tuo, but had let him perform brain surgery instead? His migraines would have vanished, his intelligence would have soared, and Guandu would have been just an appetizer. At Red Cliffs, it would have been the Sun-Liu alliance going up in flames.

After that, the Three Kingdoms? They never happened. In half a century, Cao Cao conquered the globe. Hua Tuo used medicine to break through the limits of human lifespan, while the steam engine, telegraph, and warp drive followed one after another. When the flag of Wei was planted across the Milky Way, alien civilizations discovered that this overlord from Earth understood conquest better than they did.

Think he only had a weakness for widows? Think again. Every woman was a pawn, and even his affections were part of the scheme.

When Earth could no longer contain his ambition, Cao Cao looked to the stars.

“My empire has only just begun.”
