A history of humiliation buried at the bottom of the sea, a battle to rectify the name that spanned eighty years.
2015, Nanjing. Young archaeologist Lin Wanxing accidentally discovered the voyage log of his great-grandfather Lin Mochen, pointing to a secret covered up in the dust of history. At the same time, Japanese right-wing scholars publicly displayed "evidence" and identified her great-grandfather, a famous biology professor at Jinling University, as a "cultural traitor" who took the initiative to donate treasures during the war. The family was humiliated and public opinion was in an uproar. Lin Wanxing was forced to stand at the center of the storm.
The only clue is a sapphire brooch and a broken letter left by my great-grandmother Su Che: "Mo Chen traveled far away because of his guilt, not to survive, but to regain the looted national treasure and avenge the shame of our nation..."
Back in 1937, Nanjing was destroyed. In hell, the humble scholar Lin Mochen was forced to make the most painful decision: to put on the mask of a "traitor" and sneak into the core of the Japanese invaders, just to protect the treasures of Chinese civilization that were being systematically plundered. His wife, Su Che, is on another hidden front, using a small embroidery village to maintain the spark of hope.
