In 1937, with the nation in peril, a modern soul fell onto the vast espionage stage of Shanghai, known as the “Paris of the East.”
He was Shen Hao, the second son of the Shen family. To the world, he was a spendthrift. In secret, he was Dai Li's most mysterious and feared ace agent: “Clepsydra.”
He had a secret, one that let him see in advance how he would die. This supernatural ability kept him walking along a knife's edge, every step accompanied by a countdown to death.
On this isolated island, he was not alone:
[Country and family] He had to face the most cunning “hounds” of Japan's Special Higher Police, the bloodiest executioners among the traitors of the 76th Division, and a stunning conspiracy powerful enough to change the world order.
[Love] She was his only handler, his beacon in the darkness. Their love quietly took root amid every test, every suspicion, and every brush with death. A single piece of intelligence might be their final love letter.
[Friendship] He was a brother in arms who had faced life and death alongside him, a true patriot. They were the best of partners, yet their differing beliefs brought them to a crossroads of fate. Where would the road of brotherhood lead?
[Family] In his father's eyes, he was a “disobedient son”; in his sister's, a “lost soul.” He had to weave lie after lie to build them a warm haven where they could survive the flames of war.
This is an espionage epic about choices and sacrifice, loyalty and betrayal. Watch as the protagonist uses his own strength to tilt the balance of power in treacherous Shanghai, ultimately bringing about a Red Dawn for himself and his country.

A squishy person who can be killed casually. He has a golden finger and can predict death. Then he finds a way to avoid it. Then he starts bragging about how awesome he is and how useful his brain is. Why is he so awesome that he gets killed just by accepting a mission?
