Synopsis:

The narrative unfolds during a pivotal period of unification in ancient China. Following territorial gains, the Qin dynasty, led by King Ying Zheng, finds itself challenged by a sudden, coordinated assault from a coalition of six neighboring states. The story centers on the strategic maneuvering between Qin’s ambitious military commanders and Zhao's newly appointed prime minister, Li Mu, who orchestrated a deceptive truce to consolidate alliances against the Qin.

As the combined armies press deep into Qin territory, the kingdom confronts an unprecedented threat to its very existence. The series explores themes of political intrigue, military strategy, and the fragility of power. It portrays a tense atmosphere of impending conflict as Qin struggles to adapt and defend itself against overwhelming odds, highlighting the human cost of ambition and the weight of historical destiny. The narrative emphasizes calculated risks and the desperate measures taken in the face of potential annihilation.
