The Guardians' Parallel World
Shanghai, 1940. As war rages and the nation teeters on the brink, faith and love tremble beneath the threat of gunfire.
Gu Yangshan, a section chief in the intelligence department of the Kuomintang's military intelligence agency, comes from a distinguished family and carries himself with elegance. Yet he bears the heavy secret of having betrayed a Communist stronghold five years ago.
Ding Yi, deputy leader of the Communist Party's Kunlun Squad, code-named “Bluebird,” is an orphan, cool-headed and decisive. He is Xian Biyun's only younger brother from the orphanage, and the lover Gu Yangshan once cherished before they became enemies.
Five years ago, after Kuomintang intelligence was leaked to Japan, a Communist stronghold was massacred and comrades were lost. Amid bloodshed and flames, Ding Yi and Gu Yangshan parted ways: one held fast to his beliefs, the other was trapped in the system. They became enemies, yet could never forget each other.
Five years later, patriotic businessman Wu Xuewen, a key figure in the Chinese Communist underground courier network, is arrested by the Japanese, with his life hanging in the balance. The Kuomintang and the Communist Party are forced into a brief alliance for the greater good of the nation, and Gu Yangshan and Ding Yi reunite during a mission fraught with danger.
Their old feelings have not faded, their suspicions remain, and Xian Biyun's hostility toward Gu Yangshan hangs over them like a blade.
During the rescue mission, the three are caught in a maelstrom of betrayal, loyalty, faith, and redemption.
As a wildfire engulfs the land, who will rediscover their true selves in the ashes? Who will light the way home in the darkness?
This is a heartfelt story of lovers reuniting after a painful separation, and a stirring, tragic symphony of love and faith amid a nation on the brink of ruin.
Personally, I feel that the progress is too fast. I only write two chapters for one thing. It would be more appropriate to describe more details of the scene, intersperse some foreshadowing, add some sensory experience, and psychological description of the action. Otherwise, it will be too bland, too literary, and the characters will be too OOC, especially Ding Yi. The characters' personality traits were not shown, and they all felt bland. It's too light. You need to describe the characteristics of the characters, or you can write about some characters' small habits and hand addiction. 💕
