After being assassinated in Dantu, Sun Ce's soul returned to seven days before his death. Awakening with memories of the future, he changed his ways, abandoned brute force, promoted farming and education, and welcomed talented people from far and wide. From pacifying Li Shu and winning over Taishi Ci to recruiting Zhuge Jin and setting his sights on Kongming, he consolidated Jiangdong one step at a time. When the fires of war ignited at Guandu, he was no longer the reckless Little Conqueror, but a lord who commanded the grand strategy. Swearing to use Jiangdong as his base, he would claim the Central Plains and rewrite the balance of power among the Three Kingdoms.
