In Shanghai in 1941, smoke enveloped the French Concession. Shen Fanxing, a translator lurking in the Special High School, met for the third time with Jin Fubai, a military special agent, at the Jing'an Teahouse, and shouldered the important task of seizing the Japanese army's operational plan to "clear out" the Jiangsu base area. At the Paramount Banquet, she endured humiliation and dealt with Matsui. He pretended to be a waiter and waited for an opportunity to act, but was in crisis because of Sato's sudden appearance. Gunshots broke out and they split up. She diverted the pursuers and was wounded. He was shot, retrieved the plan, and hid in the hospital. On one hand, he was transmitting information concerning the lives and deaths of thousands of people, and on the other hand, he was concerned about his comrades whose life and death were uncertain. With his father's last words in mind, Shen Fanxing crossed the Japanese military checkpoint to deliver the plan to the base area. Three months later, in the Jing'an Teahouse where the smoke still lingered, the two souls who had been reborn from the ashes met again. They knew that the fire in the darkness would eventually light the way to drive away the enemy and restore the country.
