Plot :

Born during China’s Warring States period, orphans Xin and Piao work as servants in Qin but dream of becoming great generals. One day, Piao is taken to the palace by a minister, and months later, he returns mortally wounded, urging Xin to go to another village. There, Xin meets Ying Zheng, the King of Qin, who Piao served as a body double. Despite his initial anger, Xin helps Ying Zheng reclaim the throne from his half-brother Cheng Jiao. Xin begins his military career, striving to become the greatest general and assist King Zheng in unifying China to end the warfare.

Historical context :

The story of Kingdom is a fictional adaptation of the Chinese history period known as the Warring States period, which ended in 221 BC when Ying Zheng, king of Qin, succeeded in conquering the other states and unifying China.

Several of the characters are based on historical figures. Many characters will take the names of people in history and other times they will have completely different names; oftentimes, this is the result of Japanese kanji borrowing from Chinese characters, and some Chinese names have no equivalent characters in kanji.
