Two orphans shared a single, impossible dream under the vast skies of ancient China: to rise from the mud and become the greatest generals the world has ever seen. But when a bloody palace coup rips Piao away, Xin is left clutching a broken promise and a sword he barely knows how to wield. Thrust into the heart of a vicious power struggle, he encounters a young, deposed king named Ying Zheng—a man whose ambition is as terrifying as it is grand. To honor his fallen brother, Xin must claw his way through the ranks of an army that treats him like fodder, carving a path through thousands of enemies to achieve the unthinkable: the unification of a land shattered by five centuries of constant war. This is not just a tale of survival; it is the brutal, heartbeat-pounding chronicle of a boy who will stop at nothing to turn his grief into a legend that echoes for eternity.
