Synopsis

In the late Warring States period, the state of Qin was the strongest. When King Zhaoxiang and King Xiaowen passed away, there was a dispute about who would be the king in the Qin court. Lv Buwei, a wealthy merchant, plotted to usurp the state by helping Ying Yiren, a son of the king in exile, to get the throne. While Ying Xi, the eldest son of the king, left Xianyang with regret, and the political turmoil is settled.

Qin conquered the six states and gradually unified the whole country, but the war with its arch-rival, Zhao, was a battle with frequent defeats, and the people were suffering a lot and tired. The feud between Qin and Zhao deepened.

After returning to Qin, Prince Ying Zheng, under the guidance of Lv Buwei and his mother Zhao Ji, became a king.

For the sake of her son’s throne, Zhao Ji joined hands with Lu Bu Wei to suppress the forces of the Chu faction led by Hua Yang. And Ying Zheng killed his brother Cheng Jiao to clear the way to the throne.

Ying Zheng used Lv Buwei and the imperial clan Ying Xi to clean up the rebellion. When the turmoil subsided, Ying Zheng expelled his mother Zhao Ji, and deposed the minister Lv Buwei. Thus, Ying Zheng came into power and dominated the state of Qin.
