Abyssal Impostor: King of Spies for Seven Years

In late autumn 1938, on the eve of Wuhan's fall, Nationalist staff officer Chen Xing wakes amid a pile of corpses. In his arms is a top-secret document capable of shaking the course of the war: the “Minutes of the Secret Sino-Japanese Talks,” a treasonous pact. Behind it lies a clandestine deal between senior figures in the Nationalist government and the Japanese invaders.

But his true identity is “Jingzhe,” a Communist agent operating behind enemy lines. Now the Japanese special forces, a Juntong action squad, and a Communist guerrilla unit have him surrounded, their guns trained on him. Every side wants the document, and every side might want him dead.

From battlefield ruins to candlelit churches, from interrogation-room gambits to decisions made through a sniper's scope, Chen Xing has no choice but to navigate a world of lies and bloodshed. One wrong step, and he will plunge into the abyss. But the truth he has concealed: is it a spark that will ignite the flames of war, or a blaze that will consume him?

When loyalty becomes a series of disguises, the only thing real is the heart beating as a finger pulls the trigger.
