This time, he was no longer the hidden dragon who had yet to leave his thatched cottage. He was the soul of the nation, returned from the autumn winds of Wuzhang Plains.
Year 12 of Jian'an, a thatched cottage in Nanyang.
Twenty-seven-year-old Zhuge Liang rehearsed one last time his Longzhong Plan for serving a wise ruler.
He did not know that a few miles away, one lord and two attendants were knocking on his wooden gate for the third time.
Nor did he know that when the long night ended and the sun rose again, he would no longer be the young man who held the world in his heart.
Because he had already died once.
The autumn winds of Wuzhang Plains, the beacon smoke rising as the Seven-Star Lamps burned down, the unfinished realm of the Han... It had all ended in the twelfth year of Jianxing.
But when his consciousness awoke once more, he had returned to the night before Liu Bei's third visit to his thatched cottage. His fingertips still remembered the feel of the bamboo slips in the Northern Expedition's command tent.
The script of history lay open before him once again:
Liu Bei's benevolence, Guan Yu's arrogance, Zhang Fei's recklessness, Jingzhou, Yizhou, Jieting, Shangfang Valley...
The regrets and remorse that had once wrung his heart and soul, and ultimately become mottled tear stains on the Memorial on Sending Out the Troops, were now the deadliest advantages hidden up his sleeve.
In this life, the Hidden Dragon would leave his thatched cottage for more than just dividing the realm into three.
He would
Make up for the loss of Jingzhou, avert the disaster at Yiling, quell turmoil in the court, defy fate, and reconquer the Central Plains.
With the wisdom of two lifetimes as his blade and memories written in blood and tears as his armor, he would make the most precise move at every turning point in history.
But when he truly began to change history, he discovered that the torrent of fate was far more tumultuous than he had imagined...
With the benefit of hindsight after rebirth, the Three Kingdoms will be re-divided this time, and we look forward to the subsequent development.
