Liu Bang: The Untold Secrets

Liu Bang: rising from commoner, repeatedly defeated yet never giving up, enduring what others cannot endure, tolerating what others cannot tolerate. Outwardly, he sought peace through marriage alliances and endured humiliation; inwardly, he wielded iron-fisted rule to consolidate power; toward the people, he was benevolent and allowed rest and recovery; for the realm, he laid the foundation for four hundred years of the Han dynasty's spirit. Imperfect, most real, most grassroots, and most heaven-defying, this eternal emperor indeed harbors untold secrets. — Description from novelcodex.org
