1911
At a situation of crisis, China is at the start of the 20th century. The nation is broken into warring factions, that the taxpayers are hungry, and political reforms have left things worse, maybe better. The Qing Dynasty, directed his mother, and by a seven-year-old emperor, Empress Dowager Longyu is wholly out of touch after 250 years of power that is unquestioned. Huang Xing has recently returned from Japan, where he has studied the art of modern warfare. He believes he's got no choice except to pick up the blade when he discovers his own country falling apart.
