Synopsis

During the "Warring States" period in Ancient China (421-221 BC), Shin and Hyou are orphans of war in the kingdom of Qin. They dream of one day testing themselves on the battlefield.

However, one day Hyou is taken to the palace by a minister. Ending on the losing side of a power struggle, Hyou manages to return to his village, barely alive. Shin, on the other hand, meets a boy very similar to Hyou, called Ei Sei, who, for now, is the king of Qin, and who in the future will become Emperor Shi Huangdi.
