In 246 BC, Prince Zhao Zheng, who is constantly bullied in Handan, receives help from the fairy-like Wu Qiuyue and finally succeeds in ascending to the throne of Qin. But as a child, he is timid and impulsive, with no great ambitions, and often has to rely on Wu Qiuyue's protection to stay alive. Seven years later, they fall in love, but Zhao Zheng and Wu Qiuyue are accused of being siblings and condemned by the world for their forbidden romance. They are also hunted by the righteous heroes who oppose Qin. At this time, word spreads through the martial world that the Nine Tripod Cauldrons can unite all under heaven, and ambitious contenders rise up everywhere. To claim all under heaven, Zhao Zheng sets out to find the Nine Tripod Cauldrons, protect Wu Qiuyue, execute Lao Ai, and destroy Lü Buwei. In the end, Lao Ai rebels in Yongcheng, and Wu Qiuyue's mind is bewitched. The person standing before Zhao Zheng is now the older sister who raised him. Will Zhao Zheng choose the realm, or save the woman he loves?
