He is the sharpest shadow of the empire, but he is about to attack the empire that created him.
In 231 BC, war broke out again in China. Qiang Qin went eastward with his tiger and wolf troops, hoping to annex the six countries and unify the world. Under the torrent of history, a mysterious organization directly belonging to Qin Shihuang - the "Hidden Blade", like the dark tentacles of the empire, quietly operates amidst the flames of war and conspiracy. They spy on secrets, spread rumors, and carry out assassinations. They are the most lethal weapons used by the Qin Empire to conquer the six countries and consolidate its rule.
Wang Yan, codenamed "Owl Head", is the top blade among the "Hidden Blades". He has mysterious martial arts skills and superb intelligence. He was trained by the "Quenching Blade Platform" into an absolutely loyal and ruthless tool. From the bloodbath of Xinzheng in South Korea to the solution of the crisis of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin, from flooding the capital of Liang and Wei to the destruction of the capital of Chu in Ying, his hands were stained with blood, and his merits forged an imperial career.
However, in the process of going deep into darkness again and again and witnessing the empire's transformation from unity to tyranny, his inner faith began to collapse. The former glory and loyalty gradually turned into heavy shackles in the face of the flames of burning books and humiliating Confucian scholars, the wailing of the people, and the conspiracy of colleagues.
The collapse of the Qin Empire came suddenly, and the war broke out in Daze Township. The former "weapon of the empire" could not protect itself and became the target of various forces. In the war between Chu and Han for hegemony, Wang Yan must take the remaining old "Hidden Blade" troops to make the final choice between Liu Bang's benevolence and Xiang Yu's hegemony, the revenge of the nobles of the six countries and the desire of the people of the world.
Should he be buried as a ghost of the old era, or can he grab a glimmer of light among the ruins and carve out a new future for himself and this land?
