Shadow (Ying)
Description
It is a historical story that tells the general who is eager to win a tough battle. The events of that story begin where there is a great king and his people, who will be expelled from their homeland for no reason. Perhaps this king has his methods and his mysterious motives, but his general seems to have a real vision of what is happening and wants to win the final battle but he needs to prepare his plans in secret.
