The son of Cao Yongjun, known as the legendary 'that amazing kid' and arch-nemesis of every child growing up in Jiang Qi's compound. He is a mythical academic prodigy who always took first place in exams, was the top scorer in both high school and college entrance exams, and is six years ahead of Jiang Qi. He studied architecture with a specialization in bridge engineering, a very niche field. He is married and planning to have kids, which is why his parents will likely stay in the capital to help with childcare.
