30 episodesFullCompleted

In 494 BC, King Goujian of Yue suffered defeat at Kuaiji and was forced to enter Wu as a slave, enduring the ultimate humiliation of "tasting feces and asking about illnesses." After returning to his state, he slept on firewood at night, licked a bitter gall during the day, and vowed to wipe away the disgrace. Through ten years of gathering strength and ten years of teaching and discipline, he offered Xishi to disrupt the Wu palace and borrowed cooked seeds to cut off Wu's food supply. Taking advantage of Fuchai's northward expedition for hegemony, the Yue army launched a surprise attack on Gusu, ultimately becoming a generation's hegemon. However, the dragon-slaying youth finally became an evil dragon; after successful revenge, he forced Fan Li to flee and ordered Wen Zhong to die. This is not only a satisfying story of a comeback from a desperate counterattack, but also a bloody tragedy of power and human nature.

紀元前494年、越王勾践は会稽で敗北し、呉に奴隷として入ることを余儀なくされ、「糞を舐め病を問う」という極限の屈辱を受けた。帰国後、彼は夜は薪の上に寝、昼は苦い胆を舐め、恥を雪ぐことを誓った。十年の生聚、十年の教訓を経て、彼は西施を献じて呉宮を乱し、熟した種子を借りて呉の食糧を断った。夫差が北上して覇権を争う隙に乗じ、越軍は姑蘇を奇襲し、ついに一代の覇者となった。しかし、竜を殺す少年はついに悪竜となった。復讐成功後、彼は范蠡を追い出し、文種に死を賜った。これは絶体絶反の逆転爽快劇であるだけでなく、権力と人性の血塗られた悲歌でもある。
