Born in 1920 to a landowning family, the brilliant Lin Wan navigates a turbulent age with her extraordinary mental arithmetic skills. During the Northern Expedition, she is forced to become the “abacus bride” of the warlord Leng Mohan. Over the course of a decade-long struggle, she turns the counting room into a battlefield and numbers into weapons. From Shanghai’s financial wars to Chongqing’s cipher bureau, from anti-corruption efforts in Nanjing to technical support in Yan’an, she uses her abacus to clear away the fog amid love, betrayal, and devotion to her country, calculating her way through the thorns to uncover the truth and redemption of an era.
A legend of troubled times that uses numbers as its blade and love as its foundation The second volume of "Mr. Leng's Digital Prisoners" can be described as a perfect interweaving of financial espionage and affectionate bonds during the Republic of China. Lin Wan uses his abacus as a blade to crack down on conspiracies and recover stolen money in Hong Kong's financial Shura field, and upholds the justice of his family and country amidst British-funded sieges and Green Gang plots; Leng Mohan transforms from a paranoid warlord to an affectionate guardian, using shipping as a shield, and Lin Wan goes from being forced to marry to fighting side by side. The plot closely follows the background of wartime Hong Kong, the financial game is thrilling, and the emotions rise delicately and naturally. The two used numbers as a matchmaker and love as an anchor. In the ups and downs of troubled times, they not only safeguarded the peace of their home and country, but also protected each other's sincerity. They turned the cold numbers in the abacus into a warm force to protect the years, and wrote a legend of the Republic of China with both pattern and warmth.
