Taking Xiang Yu's life as the main line, it outlines the tragic life from the orphan of Chu to the overlord of Western Chu. The young Xiang Ji was burdened with the hatred of his family and the country because Qin destroyed Chu. He fled to Wuzhong with his uncle Xiang Liang, secretly preparing to rebel against Qin. From the beheading of the governor to the uprising, the battle of Julu, which destroyed the cauldron and shocked the princes, to the missed opportunity in Hongmen, Gaixia was besieged on all sides, and finally Wujiang committed suicide "without the face to see the elders in Jiangdong."
The work closely focuses on "hate" and "soul", unfolding the contradictions between bravery and soft-heartedness, arrogance and loneliness in escape, forbearance and battle, interspersed with Chu land scenery and historical details, recreating the desolation of the heroes in troubled times, and also conveying the bloodline obsession and the tragedy of the times that "although Chu has three families, the death of Qin will inevitably lead to Chu".
