   Summary

   This is Cao Cao's side of the Visions of the Four Heroes - Yuan Shao story DLC beginning after he loses the Emperor to Yuan Shao. Watch as he descends further into paranoia and self destruction. The source? His unresolved feelings for Yuan Shao. His allies and family can only watch helplessly as he spirals, dragging everyone around him down with him.

   Will I ever finish this fic? Let us wait and see!
