This historical novel is set in the late Qin and early Han dynasties, and humorously tells the story of the changes from the last years of the Qin Dynasty to the days after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
The story begins at the end of the Qin Dynasty. Liu Bang rose up in troubled times. He used his cunning methods to pretend to be a coward at the Hongmen Banquet to save his life. Later, he cleverly used tactics to secretly seduce Chen Cang and gradually compete with Xiang Yu for the world. Although Xiang Yu was brave and invincible, due to his stubbornness, he was completely defeated in the battles of Pengcheng and Gaixia. In the end, he committed suicide in Wujiang, and Liu Bang was able to establish the Han Dynasty.
In the early Han Dynasty, Liu Bang was busy dealing with kings with different surnames, and Lu Fei was not idle either. After Liu Bang's death, in order to consolidate the power of the Lu family, she launched a fierce struggle with the Liu family members, and staged a series of thrilling court battles. Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, Liu Heng, used coercion to stabilize the situation and secretly accumulate strength. When Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, Chao Cuo proposed to cut down the feudal vassals, which triggered the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms. Fortunately, Zhou Yafu turned the tide. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty expanded the territory with the help of powerful generals such as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, but his treasury was emptied due to successive battles. Huo Guang assisted in the government after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and his power was overwhelming. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bing, had endured it for many years, and finally eradicated the power of the Huo family and realized the "Zhaoxuan Zhongxing". However, Emperor Liu Shi of the Han Yuan Dynasty relied heavily on Confucian scholars to govern the country, which led to the exclusive power of relatives and eunuchs, and the Han Dynasty gradually declined.
Through vivid descriptions and nonsensical narratives, the novel shows the dark psychology and power games of emperors, generals and ministers during this period of history, taking you to appreciate a different kind of Qin and Han history.
