More than 2000 years ago, it was the late Eastern Han Dynasty in China, a time when heroes divided and ruled the land. In order to bring peace to the country, three historical heroes emerged: Liu Bei who made straw shoes, Sun Quan who was the offspring of a general, and Cao Cao who was the son of an official. The three of them established their own countries respectively: Shu, Wei, and Wu. However, the protagonist of the story is not Liu Bei, but Cao Cao, known as "the villain of chaotic times". He possessed unparalleled personal charm. For this reason, the entire drama focuses on Cao Cao's life.
