Overthrowing Wei: Starting with Cao Cao's "I'd rather betray the world than surrender

That night, Cao Cao should have slaughtered the entire Lü family. But before his blade fell, someone stepped forward. Lü Ding. A name that shouldn't appear in history books. He didn't plead for mercy, nor did he beg for forgiveness; with just one sentence, he made Cao Cao sheathe his sword and turn away. From then on—Cao Cao had one more thing to remember on his escape: remember this man. He wasn't a strategist, a famous general, or even a scion of a powerful family. He simply started from a village in Pingyu, taking in refugees, establishing rules, raising his own army, and seizing territory. Every step he took was in Cao Cao's shadow. Until one day, Cao Cao suddenly realized—this man was no longer a question of "whether he should be killed or not." This is the story of a man targeted by Cao Cao, who, in a chaotic world, grew in reverse.
