Synopsis

A traditional spy thriller, with no transmigration and no golden finger for the protagonist. Please don't flame me if that's not your thing.

A legendary espionage tale set during the War of Resistance, starring Du Yunfan, a Shanghai street punk, and Shen Peiyao, a Communist agent. After an accident draws Du Yunfan into a deadly clash between the Military Statistics Bureau and Japanese spies, he is forced to pose as Shen Peiyao's husband. Little does he know she is the childhood sweetheart he lost touch with at a laboratory years ago. As they uncover the Japanese army's "Sakura Project," they gradually unravel their altered memories and discover that they are both key components of the "Bluebird System." From the foreign concessions of Shanghai to Chongqing's Hongyan, from street shootouts to labyrinths of the mind, they fight mind control while exposing a shocking conspiracy within the Nationalist government. When Du Yunfan discovers that he is a copy of the original spy prototype, and that Shen Peiyao's brand conceals the ultimate control code, they must choose between their duty to the nation and their feelings for each other...
