No transmigration, no rebirth. The military life of a peasant from Guanzhong, and a blood-soaked history of war in the Great Qin Empire.
His father died in battle at Yanyu, and his mother never spoke of it. Yewang falls, and the order to conscript arrives.
Wang Qi joins the army without hesitation, just to see the mountain where his father fell.
Qin wins the Battle of Changping, but he can never forget that rainy night when he was ordered to bury the surrendered Zhao soldiers alive.
Bai Qi says, "I'll bear this debt!" But the general dies, and the debt falls to Wang Qi.
Wang Qi finally stands atop the mountain where his father fell, and is promoted to commander of a hundred men.
But as a Qin soldier, he can never return to a peaceful life in the fields.
Ahead lies the Great Qin's ambition to unite the realm, a destiny no Qin soldier of his generation can escape.
Only Wang Qi doesn't know whether, when all is said and done, he'll be able to return to the foot of that mountain and look upon it once more.
