Summary

In the tumultuous era of China's Warring States, two war orphans from the kingdom of Qin, Shin and Hyou, dream of rising from their lowly statuses to become Great Generals. Their paths diverge tragically when Hyou is taken to the royal palace, only to return mortally wounded, propelling Shin on a new, unforeseen path. He encounters a young king, Ying Zheng, who is a doppelgänger of his fallen friend. This fateful meeting thrusts Shin into the very heart of Qin's dark political battles, as well as a historic quest to help the king reclaim his throne, fulfilling Hyou’s dying wish and pushing forward towards his dream.

The narrative sweeps across the harsh landscapes of feudal China, capturing the essence of ambition, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of a vision. As Shin steps onto the battlefield, his journey intertwines with the grand tapestry of history being woven by those who seek to shape the kingdom's destiny. Through bloodshed and turmoil, Shin’s resolve to become a Great General only strengthens, marking the beginning of a legendary saga that will echo through the ages of the Seven Warring States.
