Listen for thunder in the silence; protect your homeland in the face of despair.
Gu Yiheng, the cold-faced King of Hell of the French Concession, executes his “accomplices” without so much as blinking.
Everyone says Captain Gu has no heart.
Only Pei Shuan, the gentle owner of a bookshop, smiles and offers him a cup of tea when Gu comes to search the place.
“Captain Gu,” he says softly, “you’ve crossed my line.”
Gu Yiheng is ice, the coldest blade hidden in the enemy’s heart.
Pei Shuan is fire, a wildfire burning through darkness and decay.
They follow different paths and hold different beliefs, yet are forced to become each other’s closest companion.
He shields him from attacks both open and covert; he deciphers top-secret messages for him. Two souls who should never have drawn close become each other’s only light.
Until their superior gives the order: “Sacrifice everything Pei Shuan has for the greater good.”
For the first time, Gu Yiheng disobeys a military order and turns his gun around.
“My life belongs to him.”
“This silent Shanghai needs to hear a clap of thunder.”
The most extreme romance is the silent trust in crisis; the deepest love is the subconscious protection in desperate situations. In this world where lives hang on a thread, they practice the same belief with their lives and become each other's strongest backing in the most secret way. The novel depicts a soul-resonant bond, which is particularly precious and moving against the backdrop of grand history.
