A Spy's Guide to Surviving by Lying Low

Su Mian transmigrates into Shen Qingyun, the famous deadweight of the Military Statistics Bureau, and from the start, her superior makes her take the fall for someone else. She only wants to stay alive, but keeps being forced to win without lifting a finger: A knocked-over ink bottle ruins the lecherous section chief’s new uniform. A folded paper plane saves the entire action team. An optimized workflow somehow wipes out a Japanese spy den. Her superior, Gu Shen, holds the paper plane she folded, his gaze dark and searching. “Who exactly are you?” She lowers her head and shrinks back. “...I just want to work fewer hours.” Until her secret identity, “Water Lily,” shakes the spy world, and a Japanese military blade sets its sights on her. Gu Shen shields her behind him. “You’re safest right under my nose.” But on the day he fakes his death, she miscalculates every contingency for the first time and frantically searches the ruins with her bare hands. Later, together, they plot an astonishing escape. No one remembers them when victory comes, but an ordinary couple appears in a small Jiangnan town. She has a poor memory and loves folding paper.

She just wants to clock out, but she can still send you to your grave.”
