My father’s birthday banquet was underway when a human head rolled across the floor and called me by my childhood nickname!
I am Ji Zhao, the eldest legitimate son of Zhao, who should have died in the Cold Palace.
The entire court called me a fake crown prince, so I cut my palm open in front of everyone to prove my bloodline and fought my way out of this hellish start!
The Qin army is at our borders, while the feudal lords scheme against one another. I refuse to cede territory and behead corrupt ministers, then recruit three thousand condemned soldiers to take on the iron cavalry of Great Qin!
Everyone knows the Six States are doomed, but I’ll defy fate and fight for my life amid mountains of bones! If the fall of my state is inevitable, then from this throne, I’ll fight Qin Shi Huang to the bitter end on behalf of the people left behind, and bargain one last time!
“The realm may ultimately belong to Great Qin, but the people belong to the people!”
I won’t save the king or the state. I’ll save the people of the realm!
