What happens

The Legend of Qin (秦时明月), also known as Qin's Moon, is a Chinese CG animated wuxia television series produced by Robin Shen (沈乐平), and directed by Chen Qianyuan (陈乾元). The story is based on the novel of the same title by Taiwanese writer Sayling Wen (溫世仁). It is China's first 3D animated series, produced by Sparkly Key Animation Studio (Sparkly Key) in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. The series was first broadcast around the Lunar New Year in 2007. The tile means "bright moon of the Qin era", quoted from poems by the Tang dynasty poet Wang Changling. The names of two main characters – Tianming and Yue'er – correspond to the ming (bright) and yue (moon) in the Chinese title. The story spans a 30-year period (including memories) from the founding of the Qin dynasty in 221 BC to its fall in 206 BC. It features a young man named Tianming, who becomes a hero and changes the course of history with his exploits. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
