Winter 1941. Shanghai's foreign concessions are still lost in a life of drunken revelry, completely unaware that the era of the isolated island is entering its final countdown.
Du Heng and Tian Yu, two con artists who use their beauty and wits to prey on the powerful, accidentally stumble into a struggle for intelligence that could change the course of history. A historic opportunity awakens a sense of historic responsibility. They decide to use their cunning and ingenuity to join this game of foxes teasing hunters. Unfortunately, this round is unlike any other. Their unseen opponents have woven a snare far more intricate than a honey trap. In the blink of an eye, the sly foxes fall into it. Yet beyond this desperate predicament, a master player is waiting. He surveys everything from on high, determined to take the game into an even more sophisticated next round.
Uncle Badger's works maintain their consistently high quality, with captivating storylines and suspenseful plots. My only hope is that he keeps the update frequency consistent and avoids a rushed ending; the "Remnant Sun Empire" arc is driving me crazy!
A True Amateur Female Spy's Diary of Court Death
The plot and characters are intricately crafted. The different personalities and choices of each character in the two love triangles—Du Heng and Tian Yu, Jiang Xingzhou and Qian Shilu, Zheng Jiqing and Qin Chuan—lead to different fates. Jiang Xingzhou, in his pursuit of a woman, caused Zheng Jiqing to become a traitor, and ultimately, Zheng Jiqing retaliated in kind.
Worth it. It's a story with two female protagonists, each with their own distinct personality and memorable traits, and they are evenly matched. This is my first time reading this author's work. It's not long, but the story is complete. Perfect for reading in one sitting. Highly recommended.
Anything produced by Wildcat is guaranteed to be high-quality; I just hope it won't be abandoned.
Absolutely fantastic! I finished reading *Dream Detective* and *The Game of the Traitor* back-to-back – so satisfying! As one reader mentioned, these two are the most suitable of Wild Badger's novels for film and television adaptation. The length is just right, the pacing is tight, and the characters are vividly portrayed. While reading, I couldn't help but imagine the scenes from the finished product. Plus, there are no supernatural elements, and no crossing of red lines. Where is Wang Duoyu?
Dude, you can't lure me into espionage and then leave me to my own devices. What about the Empire of the Setting Sun and the Ruins on the Mountain? (Bangs on the table) However, this book is still good. It seems the author went a bit mad towards the end; the names started getting mixed up. The plot is complete, and the two female leads are innocent but not so naive as to be a hindrance.
Hugh Jackman's books are undoubtedly excellent; just don't let them be abandoned.
Wild Wolverine's works can always be trusted, as long as they are finished.
"The Setting Sun of the Wild Wolverine" was just a light novel, but this book shows a completely different writing style and is written with great care; it's a masterpiece. It was very enjoyable to watch! 👍
