Xin Qin Shi Mingyue

In the final years of the Qin dynasty's rise, young Jing Tianming is drawn into a struggle far beyond his understanding when he travels with the legendary swordsman Ge Nie. Hunted by imperial forces, the pair cross paths with Shaoyu, Gao Yue, and the Mohist resistance, whose hidden stronghold has become one of the few places willing to oppose Qin rule.

Their flight soon becomes a battle for the Mohists' Mechanical City. Wei Zhuang and the deadly Quicksand organization close in, old rivalries surface, and Tianming begins uncovering fragments of his own past while learning that the conflict between the empire and its enemies reaches into every friendship and secret around him.
