I Transmigrated to the War Against Japan to Fight the Invaders

Chen Mo, a modern-day office worker, dies unexpectedly and transmigrates to Beiping in 1937, amid the flames of war. He becomes a mistreated illegitimate son in the wealthy Chen family. Before he can come to terms with his new identity, the guns of the Marco Polo Bridge Incident shatter the city's peace. More terrifying still, a strange warning appears in his mind: Beiping will fall completely on July 29! Trouble closes in from all sides: his harsh elder brother Chen Yaozu's bullying, his father's cold indifference, and the constant dangers lurking within the family compound all push him toward desperation. His fragmented, unreliable ability to foresee information, his golden finger, becomes his only lifeline in this chaotic era.

To escape Beiping before it becomes a living hell, and to protect Auntie Liu, his birth mother and the only person who has shown him warmth, Chen Mo must use the limited information from his golden finger to plan a desperate escape, all while under the watchful eyes of his cold-hearted family and the bayonets of the Japanese invaders. After surviving bloody inspections at the city gates and the perils of wilderness survival, he finally finds temporary refuge in a remote mountain village called Yangjiagou. There, he starts from scratch, organizing a village defense force, outsmarting landlords and traitors, and joining forces with anti-Japanese guerrillas to strike back against the invaders time and again. The once-timid illegitimate son is forged into steel in the crucible of his nation's peril. Armed with crude weapons, modern knowledge, and unyielding conviction, he lights the first spark of resistance against the invaders. As his home is ravaged by war and his loved ones and comrades fall on the battlefield, Chen Mo grips his rifle and looks beyond the scorched earth to a wider battlefield. His legendary resistance against the Japanese has only just begun.
