At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the First Emperor died, and heroes across the land vied for supremacy.
In 209 BC, Xiao Yu lost his father and mother. With no other choice, he set off with his younger siblings, traveling all the way to join his uncle, a minor official in Pei County.
His uncle had many friends, and they treated Xiao Yu well. Every day, he was happy.
There was just one "little" problem.
Uncle, are we really rebelling just like that???
Just a few years later, Xiao Yu became an official.
His uncle was even more impressive: he became chancellor.
His uncle's friends still treated him well, and every day, Xiao Yu was happy.
But now there was another "little" problem.
Uncle, this is my boyfriend. We're family, you can't kill him!!!
