As a young man, Han Xin endured the infamous crawl-between-the-legs humiliation. A washerwoman fed him in his poverty, and his childhood sweetheart Lingniang gave him a jade token as a token of love, which was seized by a tyrannical bully.
He first served Xiang Yu yet gained no promotion, then joined Liu Bang and narrowly escaped execution. Xiao He tracked him down under the moonlight, securing his appointment as supreme general.
The peerless military genius then accomplished legendary feats: sneaking troops through hidden mountain routes, fighting with his back to the river, and trapping the enemy at Gaixia, helping Liu Bang found the Han Dynasty.
Enfeoffed as a lord, he returned home in glory and rewarded the kind washerwoman generously. To his agony, he found his beloved begging mercy for his old foe. Though he forgave all his enemies, he was trapped in unrequited love. Unrivaled in warfare, he could never overcome love’s torment.
