At the moment when Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, committed suicide in Wujiang River, he was supposed to be in despair, but instead he was captured by a vision from the sky - a rift in time and space was torn apart. His soul spanned eight hundred years, traveled to the world of Zhuyu, and possessed a dying man. On a snowy night, the pig-killer Fan Changyu "picked up" this man covered in blood. She thought he was just a down-and-out bodyguard, but she didn't know that the person she rescued was the overlord of Western Chu who once frightened millions of troops on the Chu-Han battlefield.
When Xiang Yu's iron-blooded fighting spirit collided with Fan Changyu's street fireworks, when the hatred of "eight thousand soldiers" collided with the simple oath of "kill pigs and raise you" - two people who should have never met, the gears of fate began to turn.

I want to write a story about "letting go".
Who is Xiang Yu? He was so powerful that he conquered mountains and conquered the world. He defeated cauldrons and boats and won nine battles in a row. At the age of twenty-four, he became a general among the princes. Then he lost and committed suicide in Wujiang. The Chinese have remembered him for more than two thousand years, remembering his bravery and his defeat, but I have been thinking - what if he had not died? How would he live if fate gave him a second chance?
This is where the book begins. A soul is reborn through a shell, wrapped in a very simple core: how do people go from being "unable to let go" to being "able to let go".
