At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, in the battle of Mao Li, the Yue doctor Linggu Fu cut off the toe of King Wu Lu, causing him to be seriously injured and died. In the same year, the son of He Lu succeeded to the throne and replaced He Lu, supporting the future of the entire Wu Kingdom.

His father's last words before his death spurred him on like a ruler, and the young king did not dare to stop for a moment after ascending the throne, putting things in order, training soldiers for battle, and he buried himself in hatred day and night, allowing it to tear his life apart.

In the second year of Fucha, the opportunity for revenge finally came, he led all the elite soldiers and strong generals of Wu State to attack, and Yu Fujiao defeated Yue State.

The revenge of Gusu's defeat was finally paid for in blood, and he didn't want the hatred to continue the cycle, so he ignored Wu Zixu's advice, spared the life of King Yue, and agreed to Yue's request for peace.

From then on, he remained the king of the high, but he unified the two countries.

Gou Jian, who was reduced to a minister, did not disappoint him, and bent his knees to him like other courtiers, without the appearance of half ambition, and even offered him countless money and beauties in order to please him.

All these years of exhaustive days and nights made him think that he would live on hatred for the rest of his life, but when he saw the woman who was sent by Gou to ask for peace, he seemed to find another meaning in life.

What love is, he doesn't know, he only knows that when he looks into her eyes, he no longer has to think about the childish little actions made by the ministers in the court to fight for power, nor does he have to think about how to deal with those enemies who are eyeing Wu Guo. With her, he could let go of all the things that bothered him and go back to the carefree life he had lived so many years ago.

Above tens of thousands of people is enough glory to be the envy of the people of the world, but what is sacrificed behind this glory, only the people on the throne understand.

He understood, so he ignored everyone's accusations against her and built a paradise away from the world for her - Guanwa Palace.

Not only that, but he rejected the advice of his courtiers again and again, went on a northern expedition to Qi, conquered the city, and became a fierce and cruel and extravagant faint king in the eyes of the people.

In the end, his single-mindedness took a heavy toll on her.

Several times of persuasion were fruitless, and he was framed by traitorous ministers, and Wu Zixu killed himself with hatred. When he was dying, he asked the doorman to gouge out his eyes and hang them at the east gate of Wu Guo, saying that even if he died, he would watch Wu die at the hands of Gou Jian.

In June of the fourteenth year of Fucha, the Yue State finally rebelled, and Gou Jian led the elite troops to attack the Wu State, and the Wu State was defeated, and the peace between the two countries was completely broken. In the twenty-third year, the Yue State attacked again, and the Wu State was defeated, and Gou Jian intended to send his husband to Yongdong and give him a hundred households to live here. The husband was unwilling, so he killed himself.

At this point, the state of Wu was finally destroyed, and the whole country of Yue celebrated, but in the eyes of the Yue people, the beauty Xi Shi who confused her husband and made her betray her relatives with a beautiful trick, burned down the Guanwa Palace built by her husband for her, and she herself was uncertain about her life and death.

Some people say that Xi Shi did this because she fell in love with her husband, betrayed the Yue Kingdom, and had no shame to face the king of Yue again, so she chose to commit suicide and be buried after her husband's death. Some people also say that this is the king of Yue secretly crossing Chen Cang, openly setting fire to the palace, but secretly rescued Xi Shi and returned her to her lover Fan Li before entering Wu. For a while, there were all kinds of speculations among the people, and as for why, the woman who was once glamorous will never be answered.
