Shanghai: The Bloodstained Warlord

Shanghai's foreign concessions are a maelstrom of rising tides and shifting fortunes. Du Jingsheng is a name on the rise, quietly stirring up the murky waters of the Huangpu River. With his brothers-in-arms at his side, he navigates among the foreigners in the concessions, old-time tycoons, and military intelligence agents, dancing on the edge of a blade and making a living amid bloodshed.
