The moment he opens his eyes, he is kneeling at an execution ground in the Qin Empire, with a bronze blade already poised at his neck! His crime: fleeing before the enemy, punishable by beheading in public.
No one knows he isn't a deserter, but a wronged soul framed by his superior. Three hundred soldiers died in an ambush, and all the blame was pinned on him.
At the execution ground, Chu Mo looks up and recites the Qin Code, word for word: “A charge of fleeing before the enemy requires three people to sign off on the conviction! Zhao, the squad commander, signed it alone. That doesn't count!” The crowd erupts!
Wang Ben makes the call himself: “Chu Mo, you're promoted to platoon commander. You'll serve under me!” From then on, the Qin Empire has a new legend. He cuts down the Zhao army's command banner single-handedly and is promoted to centurion after one battle; he solves a military intelligence leak and exposes the spy hiding in the governor's residence; from a condemned prisoner awaiting execution, he rises step by step to become the Qin Empire's powerful senior general, influential throughout the court.
But no one knows that the person he trusts most, his own younger brother, is the one hiding the darkest secrets.
