I saw the professor complaining about the bloody drama about Cao Cao and Diao Chan, combined with the experience of being baptized by thunder dramas for many years, I suddenly came up with an idea~ At the beginning, the heroine is the concubine of a clan prince. After the prince died, she was kicked out of the palace with her mother at a very young age. As for who the heroine's father is, I won't tell you yet ( ̄▽ ̄)~* The heroine was reduced to a slave, and was sold to the house of an official named Song in Luoyang several times. She started a young love affair with the handsome and kind young master, but soon, because the young master's sister was not favored in the palace, the Song family sent her to the harem to help their own lady to be pampered (yes, the heroine's owner was the empress Song's family of Emperor Ling). Young master P did not dare to let her go, and the heroine's first love was over. After the heroine entered the palace, she was quickly fell in love with both the Ling Emperor and his companion Cao Cao. Because the humble Cao Cao did not dare to express his love, the overbearing love of the Ling Emperor quickly won the heroine's newly bruised heart. But when Empress Dowager Dong found out, she summoned the heroine, asked a few questions about her life experience, and then quickly married the heroine to Cao Cao. Naturally, the heroine was reluctant and acted in various ways, but Cao Cao was willing to lick the dog and licked him meticulously for ten years. The heroine was finally moved, accepted Cao Cao, and gave birth to a son (Cao Ang). After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Cao Cao wanted to lead troops on an expedition, so as usual, he left his family in Luoyang as hostage. Emperor Ling summoned the heroine into the palace in the name of the queen and detained her. On the one hand, the heroine is unwilling to abandon Cao Cao and the child, but on the other hand, she finds that she still loves Emperor Ling, which is very contradictory. Emperor Ling made a bet with her, saying that if Cao Cao knew about this, he would offer her both hands. The heroine didn't believe it, so Emperor Ling spread the news widely, and then took Cao Cao's memorial asking for pardon and resettlement of the Yellow Turban prisoners and told the heroine that this was the condition for Cao Cao to "return" her to Emperor Ling. The heroine believed it, was very hurt, and fell into the arms of the Ling Emperor again, becoming a secret favorite concubine that the queen would avoid even though she was not visible to the public. Emperor Ling was seriously ill, and knowing that Queen He would not let the heroine go after his death, he asked the official Zhao Zhong to send her outside the palace. Before leaving, he told the heroine that in fact, Cao Cao never knew that she was being detained in the palace. The news he sent to Jizhou was that Diao Chan died of a sudden illness. The heroine had mixed feelings and gave birth to Emperor Ling's son early in Zhao Zhong's family, named Le'er (Cao Cao's second son was named Cao Shuo in history). Dong Zhuo entered the capital, Zhao Zhong was killed, and the heroine was robbed by Xiliang soldiers. Lu Bu took a look at her in the military formation, but Dong Zhuo took her away before she could even hold her hand. Lu Bu was instigated by others to rebel and kill Dong Zhuo. The heroine felt that Lu Bu was the first person willing to resist power for her (Song Qi did not dare to resist his father, Emperor Ling did not dare to resist the Queen Mother Dong, and Cao Cao did not dare to resist Emperor Ling). It was very rare and she quickly accepted Lu Bu. The good times did not last long, Lu Bu quickly escaped from Chang'an, wandered around, and finally took refuge with Cao Cao. The heroine became his meeting gift to beg Cao Cao for acceptance. The heroine was disillusioned and once again started various modes of unwillingness. However, due to Cao Cao's profound licking skills and because Cao Cao treated Cao Hong (Le'er) as if she were her own child, she was finally accepted. The two experienced a short second honeymoon and gave birth to two sons (Pi and Zhi). Cao Cao welcomed Emperor Xian, bringing with him a huge central bureaucracy, as well as a large number of "insiders" and gossip. With the help of caring people, the story that the heroine had to tell between Ling Emperor, Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo, and Lu Bu became known to everyone. The heroine could not bear such an environment, so she left Cao Cao to live in seclusion in the countryside. Cao Cao tried to persuade her not to come back, so he could only visit her from time to time. A gunshot accidentally occurred, and Cao Chong was born. Many years later, taking the opportunity of Cao Ang's marriage, Cao Cao finally invited the heroine back to Xudu. At this time, the unification of the world has become a general trend, but political turmoil is surging. The royalist faction, the pro-Cao faction, the opportunist faction... Are torn into a pot of porridge. The pro-Cao faction is also divided into the Cao Ang faction and the Cao Hong faction. After being away for many years, the heroine found that she was very estranged from her children. Cao Ang's coldness and Cao Hong's ambition were unfamiliar to her. In particular, Cao Hong's disgust for the Han Dynasty and his brother Xiandi shocked her. She questioned Cao Cao. Cao Cao convinced the heroine on the grounds that it was common for fathers and sons in the royal family to rebel against each other. Cao Hong was of the bloodline of Emperor Ling, and Emperor Xian was not the eldest son. If a virtuous man was established, Cao Hong would be qualified to compete. Therefore, Cao Hong's refusal to marry and have children became the heroine's biggest worry. When she discovered that Cao Hong intended to make Cao Pi his heir, conspiracy theories exploded. Cao Hong is the son of Emperor Ling in terms of identity and the successor of Cao Cao in spirit. He is the greatest common denominator that can integrate the royalists and the pro-Cao faction. By introducing him, he can ensure the smooth transfer of power to the greatest extent. And as long as he doesn't marry a wife and has no heir, the throne will eventually fall into the hands of the Cao family. The heroine didn't dare to ask Cao Cao any more. She even wondered if Cao Cao had just settled everything since he "regarded Cao Hong as his own child" from the beginning. Cao Hong had no interest in women. Was it caused by him? She could only look for the wet nurse, maids and other insiders to make some insinuations. However, the wet nurse who was brought out from the palace could not be found, which deepened the heroine's suspicion and started various operation modes for the third time. In the heroine's crazy conspiracy theory, history finally progressed to the death of Cao Cao and the acceptance of Cao Hong's Zen. On the day of his ascension to the throne, Cao Hong took the heroine to the secret room of the palace and let her see the wet nurse who already had silver hair. From the mouth of this confidant who has been with her for the longest time, the heroine learned that her father was Liu Chang, Marquis of Jieduting, and that she and Emperor Ling were half-brothers. This is the reason why Empress Dowager Dong decisively gave her to Cao Cao, and the reason why Cao Hong has not married yet. Due to incest marriage, he has the disease of natural eunuchs (Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty was a natural eunuch recorded in history, and intermarriage among descendants may indeed cause this genetic disease). It makes no sense whether to marry or not. The heroine feels that the meaning of her life has been subverted. Of the four men she had loved in her life, Song Qi regarded her as a toy, Lu Bu regarded her as an asset, Emperor Ling later knew that she was his biological sister, but still chose to occupy her, and Cao Cao... Why did he accept her for the second time? She will never know whether he promoted Cao Hong to the position because he found that he was inhumane, or whether he found out afterwards that he could only let nature take its course. Whether he really thought that he was dead and could only focus on his career, or whether he made a deal with the Ling Emperor for his career.
I seriously suspect that the cat is the incarnation of Cao Aman
I feel that Liu Hong is the kind of monarch who plays with the princes by beacon fire, and takes down the world for one person. He can do it, and he did it for Cao Cao. No matter how you look at it, it is true love.
Liu Hong: Aha! Mine!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! After Neptune King Ah Man turned his harem into his cubs, he taught Neptune King's secrets to the only remaining Concubine Xun. After escaping, she turned into a cat to accompany the main palace.
Before watching the extra, I sided with Cao Cao x Xun Yu and Cao Hong x Cao Pi; after watching the extra, I wanted to side with Cao Cao x Cao Hong again (/ω\)
So Queen Hong finally turned Neptune into a queen, which was good. It's such a touching brotherly love

From Cao Teng in the Great Changqiu to Cao Teng, the first generation of the Cao family, it starts with me and ends with me. [Rainbow fart]
It's well written, but the last few chapters are a bit rushed... It's a pity
