In the winter of 1937, Jinling City was destroyed.
Female student Shen Shuyao was forcibly recruited as a "comfort woman" by the Japanese army in the safe zone and imprisoned in a secret comfort station called "Shuiyuexuan". During countless dark nights, she accidentally discovered that the military secrets discussed by drunken Japanese military officers were actually related to the cryptography studied by her father during his lifetime - those seemingly random numbers were actually the key to deciphering Japanese military operations.
With the help of underground intelligence agent Lu Mingyuan, Shuyao used her broken body as a blade to steal secrets between the enemy's most vulnerable pillows. She used embroidery to record passwords, used rouge boxes to convey information, and weaved key information such as Japanese military mobilization and material transportation into the embroidery pattern of the "Jinling Map". As the "Secret Pattern Team" grew, the singers, nurses, and female students in the comfort stations all became warriors of this silent resistance.
However, when the Special High School began to track down internal leaks, and when her closest companions died tragically in the interrogation room one after another, Shuyao had to walk on the edge of exposure. And is the Japanese military doctor Nakajima, who always plays "Sakura Ballad" alone late at night, a brutal invader or a fellow traveler with a hidden agenda?
**"They used their bodies to bear the sins of this era, but used their wisdom to carve indelible codes in history."**
This epic work is based on real historical events and uses a unique cryptographic perspective to reveal the most secretive female resistance movement during the Anti-Japanese War. This million-word novel completely presents the heroic journey from the fall of Nanjing to Japan's surrender. It tells the story of how a group of insulted and damaged women used their wisdom and blood to protect the light in the darkest moments.

The subject matter is relatively novel, but the logic is confusing and the structure cannot withstand scrutiny.
