PLOT
Born in the Warring States period of ancient China, Shin and Hyou are war-orphans in the kingdom of Qin who dream of becoming "Great Generals of the Heavens" to rise from their lowly stations in life. One day, however, Hyou is taken to the palace by a minister to be used for an unknown purpose, leaving Shin alone as a household slave in a peasant village. A few months later, Hyou returns to the village on the verge of death, urging Shin to travel to another village. There he meets a boy who looks nearly identical to Hyou, Ei Sei, the current King of Qin. Shin learns that Hyou served as a body double for Ei Sei, and was mortally wounded in a power struggle for the throne. Though initially furious at Ei Sei for causing Hyou's death, Shin decides to seize the opportunity and aid Ei Sei in defeating his brother and reclaiming the Qin throne. Successful in this endeavor, Shin officially starts his life as a Qin soldier on the battlefields of Warring States of China with the goal of becoming the "Greatest General under the heavens", and to help King Ei Sei of Qin achieve his dream of total unification, ending the incessant warfare once and for all.
