The Wei Dynasty's Legitimate Heir

In the second year of Jian’an (197 AD), the land had been in chaos for more than twenty years.

Cao Cao held the Son of Heaven hostage to command the warlords. He established his capital in Xu County, renamed it Xudu, and brought the situation in the north under control.

On this day, a banquet was being held at the Office of the Minister of Works.

A family feast and a three-year-old child’s nightmare marked the beginning of a new chapter in this age of turmoil.

Using the butterfly effect, he saved Cao Ang, was elevated by Lady Ding to become the heir of a minor branch, and became the family’s darling!

Get close to the great clans, make use of them, and stay on guard against them. Even a spoiled young lord can have his fun!

But alas, his elder brother Cao Ang died on the eve of succession. Could he have been handed Gao Yang’s script?

No, no! I, Cao Xiong, am a man with a woman’s looks. Legitimate and illegitimate lines have their place, and rank must be respected. The main branch is extinct, so who but I should be Emperor of Great Wei? Since fate has chosen me, I’ll pacify Liaodong, destroy the Five Barbarians, open up the Western Regions, unite all under Great Wei, and make China supreme!

Survival in the late Han, from infancy to childhood, adolescence, youth, adulthood, middle age, and old age!
