In the Shanghai Concession in 1939, Shen Yan, a leading actor in a repertory troupe, was worried about making ends meet, but was kidnapped by a mysterious man - just because he looked exactly like the missing blind cryptography expert "Su Jingtang".
"Either impersonate him and infiltrate the Japanese Intelligence Department, or die now." The cold agent Gu Yangshan's gun was pressed against his temple, and Shen Yan could only bite the bullet and accept this fatal job.
From then on, the "blind expert" who could not decipher codes became a favorite in the eyes of the Japanese army: he relied on the lines of the drama to confuse the code logic, used stage moves to avoid surveillance, and used improvisation to resolve the identity crisis. Even the Japanese military section chief praised him for his "extraordinary talent."
But Shen Yan didn't know that his "acting skills" had already been targeted by many parties: the Paramount Courtesan was actually an underground worker and repeatedly tested his background; Gu Yangshan's true purpose hid a shocking secret; and even the missing real expert was observing everything in the dark.
When the false identity was about to be exposed and the Japanese army's butcher knife fell, Shen Yan held the pistol without bullets and smiled: "I'm sorry, the ultimate skill of an actor - I can play you to death."
——It turns out that the top agents never need real talent or knowledge, they just need to act until the enemies believe them!
