Lin Mo, a graduate student in history, wakes up to find himself as Fan Zeng, a strategist during the Chu-Han Contention.
A seventy-year-old man, full of brilliant schemes, yet destined to smash his jade goblet at the Feast at Hong Gate and die of a carbuncle on his back amid suspicion and mistrust.
Run away? Xiang Yu will catch up with him. Fight back? That would be suicide.
Lin Mo takes a deep breath and holds up three fingers. “Three rules: you have to listen to me, you can’t kill me, and first, we take out Liu Bang.”
Xiang Yu: “The first two are negotiable. The third is easy.”
And so a shrewd old soul meets a mighty overlord strong enough to lift a bronze cauldron. One teaches him the art of war; the other teaches him how to make sarcastic remarks. Together, they fight from Julu to Xianyang, from burning their boats to the Overlord’s farewell... Wait, Yu Ji is still here, so don’t go tempting fate.
See how a modern graduate student reshapes Xiang Yu, defies fate, and finds a different path to the throne amid the chaos of the Qin and Han dynasties.
