The novel takes the siege of Gaixia where Chu and Han were fighting as the starting point, and rewrites the classic ending of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, who committed suicide at Wujiang River: In desperate situation, Xiang Yu did not choose to draw his sword and commit suicide. Instead, he listened to the persuasion of the Wujiang Pavilion Chief, boarded a ship and crossed eastward, returning to his hometown in Jiangdong where he raised his army. After returning to Jiangdong, Xiang Yu did not quickly reorganize his army to fight again and make a comeback as everyone expected. In the past, all eight thousand of his disciples died following him in the Western Expeditions. The people's livelihood in Jiangdong counties and counties has long been in ruins due to successive conquests. His neighbors are more in awe but less supportive of him. The remaining old troops also have their own agendas under the threat of Liu Bang's army. The road to national restoration has been filled with the chill of people's separation from the very beginning.
The story revolves around Xiang Yu's difficult situation in Jiangdong, describing his status gap from being a capable overlord to being the leader of a defeated army. After traveling through the devastation of the Chu land, he gradually reflected on his life-long battles and self-willed past. It also describes the external crisis of the Liu Bang Group's pressure across the river, recruitment and encirclement and suppression. In the end, Xiang Yu made a choice different from the history books in the dilemma of war and surrender: he no longer restarted the war with the obsession of an overlord, but protected the peace of Jiangdong's elders in his own way, writing another answer about redemption and responsibility for the end of the hero.
