Kingdom

Synopsis: The states at war in China, a furious dragon that would rock the earth for 500 years, saw many kingdoms go up and down, paving the way for the next generation of kings and generals to fight for supremacy. Eventually seven powerful states emerged from the endless cycle of war.

In the kingdom of Qin, Xin, an orphaned war slave, trains vigorously with slave companion and best friend, Piao, who shares his proud dream of one day becoming a great general of heaven. However, the two are suddenly forced to separate when Piao is recruited to work in the royal palace by a king retainer.

After a fierce blow that unfolds, Piao returns to Xin, half dead, with a mission that will lead him to a meeting with the young king of China, Ying Zheng, who has an impressive resemblance to Piao. Kingdom follows Xin as he takes his first steps on the big blood pages in China's history. He must sculpt his own way to glory in his long search to become a great general of the seven historical states at war.
