A saga of passions unfolds in this epic tale of romance at the heart of the historical Chu-Han contention, one of ancient China’s most defining moments. Xiang Yu (Ming Dao), leader of the Chu, wages a civil war against Han ruler Liu Bang (Luo Jin). But he must balance his ambitions with the love for femme fatale Lu Zhi (Joe Chen), the future empress of the Han Dynasty — and the future bride of Liu Bang. What unfolds is a dramatic evolution of how one man loses (or sacrifices) his power, all in the name of a love of dynastic proportions.
