The Conqueror's Story is a Hong Kong television series based on the events in the ChuâÂÂHan Contention, an interregnum between the fall of the Qin dynasty and the founding of the Han dynasty in Chinese history. It was first broadcast in 2004 in Hong Kong on TVB Jade.
The plot follows a story-by-story pattern, with each episode featuring an event before and during the ChuâÂÂHan Contention. A cast member explains the background of the story in the prologue of each episode.
Prior to the start of each episode is an extra scene that provides an explanation to a certain main point within that episode, many of which have been enshrined in history books, or have become idioms frequently used in modern Chinese society.
