The legendary warlord Cao Cao awakens in the body of Hu Hai, the Second Emperor of Qin.

He wakes to find himself trapped in a deadly predicament: Zhao Gao controls the palace, his faction has infiltrated the court, and rebellion is about to erupt across the eastern lands. The Qin Empire is on the brink of collapse after only two reigns.

Everyone believes Hu Hai is still the pleasure-loving puppet who lets others pull his strings. Little do they know that inside his body now resides Emperor Wu of Wei, the decisive conqueror who once pacified the north.

For two months, he keeps his strength hidden, quietly infiltrating the Imperial Guard and winning over loyal officials as he waits for the perfect chance to break the deadlock.

In the grand hall of Zichen Palace, Zhao Gao points to a deer and calls it a horse. Filled with pride, he tests the emperor's authority in front of the court, hoping to seize absolute power.

Just as the assembled ministers submit to the treacherous and let black pass for white, the young emperor on the throne slowly rises. A dagger flashes from his sleeve.

One slash to the throat, and the traitor is executed on the spot!

He reclaims power in Xianyang, puts the court in order, crushes the old Six Kingdoms' rebels, and saves the Qin state from collapse.

Watch as Emperor Wu of Wei takes command in Qin, overturns the fate of the dynasty's fall after only two reigns, and builds a glorious empire anew!
