At the end of the third century BC, the once powerful Qin Empire was crumbling under tyranny and harsh labor. This is an era where heroes and tyrants coexist, and conspiracy and passion are intertwined. This book takes the magnificent history of the late Qin and early Han Dynasties as a picture, focusing on two core characters - Liu Bang, who was born in a humble but ambitious life, and Xiang Yu, a descendant of the aristocracy who was able to carry a tripod and win the three armies bravely. From the sparks of Daze Township to the ruined battle of Julu; from the flash of swords and shadows at the Hongmen Banquet to the generous elegies of the Siege of Gaixia. The novel will follow a group of characters swept up by the torrent of the times, and deeply describe the intrigues, wars and love and hatred between Chu and Han, and explore what determines the final victory or defeat and the ownership of the world in the intertwined whirlpool of power, ideals and human nature.
