About
Xin is a war orphan in the state of Qin who trains relentlessly beside his best friend, both of them dreaming of becoming a Great General under the heavens. When palace intrigue pulls Xin into the orbit of the young king Ying Zheng, his sword and his ambition become tangled up in a far larger dream: unifying all of China under one banner. From there the series builds into massive clashes of armies, battlefield tactics, and rivalries that unfold over years. It's a story about foot soldiers and kings alike, where personal grit and grand strategy collide on an enormous canvas.
