In order to find his missing sister, Ye Zhiwei sneaked into the most prestigious Hanmo Bookstore in Shanghai. She thought she was facing nothing more than scraps of old paper, but unexpectedly she got involved in a whirlpool that was far deeper than she imagined. The man named Shen Yanxing is the youngest bibliophile in Jiangnan. He is handsome, but he has close ties with Japanese cultural institutions. He is a "cultural traitor" despised by everyone. She tried to find clues from him, but she saw the same loneliness and tenacity as her own in his deep eyes. Once they joined forces to protect the national treasure, she saw through his true purpose under disguise; during a careful calculation, she also exposed her hidden weakness in front of him. "Miss Ye, let's cooperate." He stretched out his hand to her, his eyes as sharp as knives, "I will help you find someone, and you will help me protect the book." In troubled times, it is difficult to tell the truth from the false. Two people wearing masks entrust their sincerity in lies and walk together in the smoke of gunpowder.
