During an overseas evacuation mission, modern Chinese mercenary Wang Qi encountered an ambush and a strange white light. When he woke up, he found himself in the barren mountains of Qin during the late Warring States period. Without identity, without money or food, without reinforcements, or even saying a wrong word, the Qin officials might treat him as a dead man, a fugitive, or a spy and kidnap him away.
In order to survive, he changed his name to Wang Qi, started as a homeless refugee, and struggled to survive in the troubled times where Qin's laws were like knives and hungry people were everywhere. After getting acquainted with Liang Ajiao, Ji Qinghe and others, he gradually established his own small group. Later, he was noticed by the famous general Wang Jian due to an ambush by a grain truck and became his disciple.
King Qin succeeded to the throne and the six kingdoms were about to perish. Wang Qi did not dare to pretend to be king. He only used modern military thinking to optimize scouts, food routes, military medicine, military discipline and post-war reception, and promoted the deflection of history by the side of Wang Jian, Meng Tian and others. But the closer he gets to the core of power, the more he discovers that the real danger is not just weapons, but also Qin's laws, tactics, the hatred of those who have subjugated the country, and a Great Qin that is gradually deviating from its original history.
