[Three Kingdoms] How Did I End Up on the Throne?

As Cao Pi's twin brother, and the older brother of Cao Zhi, Cao Chong, and a whole string of other younger brothers, Cao Fu says: Just because I'm a science student doesn't mean I don't know that there was no such person as Cao Fu in history!

Thinking of how the Cao brothers' rivalry ended, Cao Fu decides he needs to protect himself.

To do that, he drags Cao Pi along, hauls Cao Zhang with them, and pulls Cao Zhi into skipping class and standing punishment duty together, forging a profound revolutionary friendship.

To protect himself, he gives Cao Pi every chance to steal the spotlight, then curls up in a corner and tries to fade into the background.

To protect himself, he gives up the chance to have his own male idol, Guo Jia, tutor him, and instead throws himself into the arms of Jia Xu (who hasn't joined Cao Cao's camp yet, but will).

To protect himself, he... becomes emperor???

Cao Fu: Wait, what? This isn't how the story is supposed to go!

He really just wanted to be a nobody.

Cao Cao: Don't think I haven't found out who taught Zihuan all those astonishing things he says.

Guo Jia: You dared to recite an entire love poem to me the first time we met, and you still think you can quietly fade into the background?

Jia Xu: You dragged me onto your pirate ship, and you still want to live like a wealthy young master? If you've got the guts to provoke me, then you've got the guts to ascend the throne!

Theme: Lighthearted??
