At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty was on the throne. Wang Mang, the father-in-law of the Han Dynasty, killed Emperor Ping with poisoned wine and usurped the throne. Fearing that the Liu royal family would rebel against the new dynasty, they "killed eight hundred Liu households and destroyed Liu three thousand miles" in an attempt to kill all the people surnamed Liu. Liu Xiu, the orphaned prince of Emperor Ping, was born in the Cold Palace. After many dangers, he was taken out of the Cold Palace. He changed his name and hid in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Later, Wang Mang learned about it and sent people to kill Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu fled Chang'an, crossed Tongguan, met Ma Wu, invited Yao Qi, and paid homage to Deng Yu, which opened the prelude to "destroying the Mang and reviving the Han Dynasty". The wonderful chapters are intertwined, such as "Searching for cuffs at the palace gate", "Picking up the sedan curtain in the cemetery", "Su Xian knife slashing Liu Xiu"...
