In the seventh year of Guanghe, the Yellow Turbans ravaged the countryside. Shen Ce transmigrated into the body of a dying refugee and awakened an extraordinary talent for learning.
After breaking out of a desperate situation, he devised a strategy to establish himself in the south amid the chaos. With a gift for mastering anything at a glance, he learned the art of war, excelled at horsemanship and archery, understood agriculture and medicine, and proved adept at governing. He gathered the remnants of his forces, won the post of Lujiang Governor, and shed his identity as a bandit.
He formed an alliance through marriage with the Qiao family, visited Zhou Yu three times to recruit him, and gathered both civil and military talent, including Lu Su and Taishi Ci. He pacified Jiangdong, took Jingzhou and Yizhou, and subdued Jiaozhou. At Red Cliffs, he routed Cao Cao, then brought an end to the age of chaos with a three-pronged northern campaign. At last, he united the realm and ushered in the prosperous Yongxi era.
