He is a formidable leader forged in the wilderness, while she is a strategist concealing her sharpness amid a chaotic age.
A sword cleaves through the turmoil at the end of the Qin dynasty, and a lamp lights the road west.
From the muddy streets of Pei County to the palaces of Xianyang, from whispered secrets beneath the moon to signal fires atop the city walls, they walk side by side through blades and battle, witnessing the suffering of the world and guarding the light in each other's eyes.
The promise of the Three Articles of Agreement still rings in their ears, while the blades of the Feast at Hong Gate have already lit up the night sky. When the smoke of the struggle for the realm finally clears, they understand that the most precious thing is not the throne itself, but the warm hand they have always kept for each other amid the flames of war.
