The protagonist comes from an aristocratic family in Zeguo, a great power in the Central Plains. His father is the Minister of War, and a nomadic empire in the north has long coveted the Central Plains dynasty. The two countries are now locked in a fierce struggle, each seeking to destroy the other. After a crisis, the Minister of War realizes that danger is lurking within the country. To protect his family, he sends them in advance to a frontier city in the south. His son, the protagonist, is among them. This is the story of how the protagonist rises from a small frontier town to unify the realm. Why call it the New Warring States? Because the story is about more than just these two countries. Beyond Zeguo, the Central Plains dynasty, lies a mysterious mountain kingdom to the southwest, where shamanic culture thrives. To the southeast is Wuyue, a country crisscrossed by waterways and rich in trade. This is a thrilling story, with plenty of satisfying moments as well as a more nuanced, rewarding side.
