Finally, the year 229 BC arrived, heralding a great celebration in the Zhao provinces on this occasion, with cold weather and scattered snow, a barely noticeable sun, and most importantly, the lavish celebrations of the officials, oblivious to what would follow this crucial year of wars.

You stood on top of the castle wall, a slight chill caressing your face and hair made you shiver. You knew that the upcoming events would not be easy, so contemplating the view of the castle and the dwellings around it soothed the heart and relieved you of the burden of thinking.

"A new year."
