Under the shadow of the great power game, all the rules on the surface have become invalid.
In order to protect the core interests of the rising "Republic", an absolutely secret sharp knife force, the "Candle Dragon" force, began to act under the instruction of the highest level. Their missions will never see the light of day, and their identities have been erased from national archives. They are real "ghosts".
Chen Chen, an ordinary war zone elite, was selected to join the "Dragon Tooth" brigade of the "Candle Dragon" with his cold reason and undying sense of responsibility in a hellish "melting pot" selection, code-named "Mandrill".
But he and his teammates soon discovered that the real battlefield is far more cruel than the hail of bullets: the encirclement and suppression of foreign forces, the battle of routes within the top management, the test of trust between teammates, and how to maintain the bottom line of humanity when plunged into darkness...
This is a road of no return. Every mission is a torture of the soul. They use their namelessness and sacrifice to fight for their motherland in the gray areas of the world. They are sharp swords that guard the light, but they are destined to be with darkness for life.
