Synopsis

[Spy thriller + based on true events + mind games + no System + high-stakes game]

In 1941, Shanghai was an isolated island surrounded by Japanese-occupied territory. The city was a crossroads of power, with undercurrents running deep. On the surface, it was the “Paris of the East,” a glittering world of pleasure and luxury. In truth, it was a city of spies where every faction vied for power. Shen Mo was a rising star in Shanghai, deputy chief inspector at the French Concession police station. Dashing and charming, he moved among the elite and was hailed as the “young master of the concessions.” His true identity was a deeply embedded “nail” for the Military Statistics Bureau. Yet even his handler didn’t know that he had another top-secret identity: codename “Crane Crossing.”

His primary mission was to obtain the Japanese army’s top-secret plan, “Heart of Coral,” and identify the Japanese spy embedded within the organization, codename “Netherworld.”

The story begins with a carefully staged “heroic rescue.” Shen Mo “rescued” Masako Imai, the only daughter of Koichi Imai, head of the Japanese Special Services Agency attached to the Army of Central China, from harassment by Japanese agents. This chance encounter was his “opportunity” to infiltrate the enemy’s inner circle, and the beginning of all the entanglements and pain to come.

As his mission progressed, Shen Mo found himself caught in an immense web of intrigue. Was his beloved fiancée an enemy? Was his respected mentor a traitor? Would the intelligence network he had built with his own hands become a sacrifice? Amid the flames of loyalty and betrayal, faith and feeling, he was like a lone crane searching for a crossing in the endless night, wagering his life on a great game called “home and country.”
