In 202 BC, after years of warfare, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu finally reached the "Chu-Han Boundary" agreement across the Guangwu Gorge, where Xiang Yu released Lü Zhi and her father Lü Tai Gong, who were held as hostages in Pengcheng. Liu Bang then withdrew his troops westward, effectively claiming kingship south of the river. However, the recently ceased war was reignited with the suggestions of Zhang Liang and Chen Ping. Remembering the humiliation of being a hostage in Pengcheng, Lü Zhi, who returned to Liu Bang's side, was filled with jealousy and incited Liu Bang to renege on his agreement, launching an attack against Xiang Yu before he could withdraw from Pengcheng. With the encirclement and pursuit by generals like Han Xin and Peng Yue, Xiang Yu suffered heavy losses in the "Tenfold Ambush" and "Songs of Chu from All Directions" and, after being trapped at Gaixia, committed suicide in the Wu River. When news of Xiang Yu's suicide reached Liu Bang's camp, both Liu Bang and Lü Zhi had different reactions. Lü Zhi felt a mix of joy and sorrow upon hearing of Xiang Yu's death; while she showed joy, there was also a profound regret, as Xiang Yu seemed so much more noble and loyal compared to her husband, Liu Bang. In stark contrast to Lü Zhi's mixed emotions, Liu Bang felt joy from Xiang Yu's death, knowing there would no longer be a contender challenging his reign. In the early spring of the following February after Xiang Yu's death, Liu Bang built an altar on the north bank of the Si River, declared himself emperor, conferred the title of empress on Lü Zhi, named Liu Ying as crown prince, changed the state name to Han, and moved the capital to Luoyang. As the first empress of the Han Dynasty, Lü Zhi secretly celebrated her father's wise choice of a son-in-law. However, she was not satisfied with this achievement and not willing to rest on her laurels from her initial endeavors. Having experienced the humiliation of being in the Qin camp and a hostage in Pengcheng, Lü Zhi understood that holding absolute power was the best way to ensure her safety. Her extreme desire for power led Lü Zhi to start her usurpation plan. Taking advantage of Liu Bang's efforts to eliminate dissenters and consolidate power, Lü Zhi secretly worked behind the scenes to help Liu Bang eliminate the three feudal lords, Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Ying Bu. She then turned against Liu Bang's own brothers, eventually forcing Lu Wan to rebel. After Liu Bang's death, the officials upheld Liu Ying as Emperor Hui according to the tradition of previous dynasties. From then on, Lü Zhi effectively controlled the power behind the throne, eliminating Liu Bang's descendants one by one, granting a large number of her family members noble titles, and even appointing her longtime lover, Shen Shiqi, as the Left Chancellor. For a time, it appeared that the Han Dynasty established by Liu Bang had become Lü Hou's domain. However, what Lü Zhi did not expect was that a group of loyal ministers to Liu Bang, such as Zhou Bo and Chen Ping, bore humiliation and waited for the opportune moment to rebel, ultimately gaining strength and overthrowing Lü Zhi, restoring the throne to the Han family.
