During China's Warring States period, Xin and Piao, two brother-like youngsters, dream of becoming Great Generals despite their low status as orphaned slaves. One day, they encounter a nobleman who offers Piao an opportunity to undertake an important duty within the royal palace of Qin. Parting ways, Xin and Piao promise each other to one day become the greatest generals in the world. However, after a fierce coup d'état occurs in the palace, Xin meets a dying Piao, whose last words spur him into action and lead him to encounter Zheng Ying, the young and soon-to-be king of Qin.
Although initially on bad terms, Xin and Zheng become comrades and embark on a path filled with trials and bloodshed. Zheng's objective is to unite all the warring states under Qin, and Xin seeks to climb to the very top of the army ranks. Against a backdrop of constant tactical battles between states and great political unrest, both outside and within the palace, the two endeavor toward their monumental ambitions that will change history forever.
