The Legendary Life of Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Chu

This novel mainly tells the legendary life of Xiang Yu, the Conqueror of Chu. A history of conquest told from Xiang Yu's first-person perspective: no longer a supporting character to Liu Bang, but a complete account of his rise and fall, from an orphan of Chu to the Conqueror of Western Chu.

The Battle of the Cauldrons, Pengcheng, where thirty thousand defeated five hundred and sixty thousand, and the twenty-eight horsemen charging the encirclement at Gaixia: every classic battle is depicted in vivid detail.

Farewell My Concubine and his suicide at the Wu River: an epic tragic arc, from strength enough to uproot mountains and spirit enough to overshadow the world to the despairing cry that Heaven had doomed him.

Scheming and passion go hand in hand: the murderous intent at the Feast at Hong Gate, Fan Zeng's hatred, Han Xin's choice, Liu Bang's roguishness, and Lü Zhi's ruthlessness are all brought to the fore.

This novel and its characters are entirely fictional. Any resemblance is purely coincidental. Do not imitate.
