Origin Story
战国时期，秦国名将白起，屡立战功，威震六国，深受秦昭襄王信任和百姓爱戴。然而，长平之战后，白起因各种原因遭到秦昭襄王的猜忌和冷落，最终被赐死。白起的死，让秦国上下大失人望，失去了一个优秀的将领，也失去了军队的士气，这直接导致了秦国此后多次战役的失利。百姓们惋惜白起之死，更对秦昭襄王的昏庸无道感到愤怒和失望。
During the Warring States period, Bai Qi, a famous general of the Qin state, repeatedly achieved military successes, and was highly respected by both Qin King Zhao Xiang and the people. However, after the Battle of Changping, Bai Qi was eventually executed. This led to a great loss of trust and reputation for the Qin State, as it lost a talented general and the morale of the army plummeted, directly causing several defeats in subsequent battles. The people mourned Bai Qi's death and resented King Zhao Xiang’s poor leadership.
