In 1939, rain swept through Shanghai, bringing a bitter chill that soaked the neon lights of the foreign concessions and the dark alleyways. Su Wan, recently returned from studying in France, disguised herself as a wealthy young woman and became an underground operative codenamed “Nightingale.” Under the close watch of the agents at No. 76, she carried out dangerous intelligence missions.
The arrival of a newly recruited agent known as “Old Gun” pushed her into an even more perilous trap. She was to make contact with the mysterious courier “Spring Silkworm” and obtain a map of Japanese military supply routes along with the secret service’s list of “moles.” But was her nominal fiancé, Shen Muyan, a French Concession inspector, sincerely trying to protect her, or was he a watcher with ulterior motives?
At the Great World Cinema on Avenue Joffre, the melody of Song at Midnight masked a deadly rendezvous. When the agents of No. 76 aimed their guns at “Spring Silkworm,” and blood on the stairwell stained the rainy night red, Su Wan clutched the intelligence she had paid for with her life and fled through a storm of bullets.
This was a battle fought on the edge of a blade, a steadfast struggle in the darkness. The rain over Shanghai had yet to stop, but countless people like “Nightingale” and “Spring Silkworm” were tearing through the gloom with their blood and courage, waiting for dawn to shine upon this land.
The logic is confusing and the header sequence is messy.
