The Wu River did not witness Xiang Yu's death. Instead, it saw the buried souls of generations of the dead rise again!
When the river turned black, Xiang Yu did not meet his end. He faced a corpse calamity that threatened to consume the world.
He Shui transmigrated as a foot soldier under Xiang Yu and unexpectedly gained the ability to analyze, comprehend, and combine combat techniques. As long as he saw an enemy make a move, he could find an opening to make use of.
The problem was that Xiang Yu had only a small remnant army, with Han forces behind them and a tide of corpses in front. If He Shui wanted to survive, he first had to help the Hegemon survive.
He had planned to offer advice quietly, but every victory Xiang Yu won only made the situation more perilous. He Shui decided to hide himself behind wide sleeves and a feather fan. He would let the Hegemon be seen as the strongest, while he dealt with the troubles that should never be brought into the open.
Everyone thought the Hegemon had simply gained a calculating scholar at his side. But when the Corpse King learned to form battle lines and a million corpse soldiers marched on Xianyang, what He Shui feared most wasn't having his identity exposed. It was Xiang Yu having to face the entire tide of corpses alone.
If even the Hegemon fell, who could bring this war for the world to an end?
