Synopsis

In 1946, during the Central Plains Breakout, dawn rose red with blood. Lu Huaijin, our Party’s top undercover agent, codenamed “Lone Goose,” carried a top-secret list that held the lives of hundreds of comrades. Amid the chaos, he lost contact with his only superior, “Star Shepherd,” and vanished without a trace. Within the organization, his file was stamped “suspected defector” and sealed away in a fog of uncertainty.

Twelve years later, in 1958, an old-fashioned coded message that seemed to be searching for someone resurfaced in a coastal city. Now head of the Kuomintang’s Secret Service Bureau’s Communications Office, Lu Huaijin sent out his first signal in twelve years.

But the tides of time had changed everything. Su Yueting, the former “Star Shepherd,” was now the chief official investigating him. Shen Shuyao, the lover he had never forgotten, was the most unpredictable emotional variable on his road back to the ranks. And Ye Qianshan, a rival who both admired and suspected him, had laid a vast, inescapable net, determined to keep this “soul of the Party-state” or destroy him.

No one cheered his return. All he found were gun barrels and tests of his loyalty. This was a thorny road where “betrayal” would prove devotion and sacrifice earn trust. When every piece of evidence pointed to him being a double agent, the only things that could prove his innocence were a list that had long since become obsolete, and the military salute he had offered the North, unseen, on every dark night for twelve years.

This was a lonely journey home, and the ultimate trial of his faith.
