Chen Mo is a transmigrate from the modern world, a soul from the life of an overworked office drone now inhabiting a low-ranking spy at the Military Statistics Bureau’s Shanghai Station. He is terrified of dying, greedy for money (a little cash is what keeps him going), and lecherous (limited to flirty remarks and admiration; he knows full well that lust can be deadly). But he is quick-witted and highly alert to danger. His starting skill is fluent English, a perk of transmigrating. Later, through his own efforts (and perhaps the System or a golden finger?), he masters several languages, including Japanese, German, Russian, and French, becoming a linguistic genius. At heart, he is clever and skilled at reading people and working the system.
