1945, Tianjin.
In this era where even the air is full of surveillance and betrayal, Shen Lin woke up and his identity was a "marginal person" in the Intelligence Department of the Tianjin Station of the Secrecy Bureau. Sitting in front of him was Ma Kui, who looked gloomy, and in the office next door was Lu Qiaoshan, who was smiling but hiding a knife.
He knew that Station Commander Wu's "adjutant" was actually Yu Zecheng, codenamed "Deep Sea"; he knew where the top-secret Mu Liancheng list was hidden; and he even knew that the guerrilla captain named Cuiping would one day make a joke.
Without the addition of a system, the only bargaining chip is his almost "god-like" insight into this time and space.
In order to carve out a way out for his faith in this losing chess game, Shen Lin had to pretend to be a "careerist" who was more greedy for money than Lu Qiaoshan, more ruthless than Ma Kui, and more scheming than Station Commander Wu.
"Zecheng, you continue to be your deep sea in the open. I will block the waves under the water for you."
Extremely brain-burning: Use the plot of the original drama as a precognitive dream to find the only way out in a dead situation.
Two heroes stand side by side: Yu Zecheng (Deep Sea), an open line, and Shen Lin (protagonist, codenamed "Lighthouse"), a hidden line. One is bright and the other is dark, and they work together seamlessly.
Emotional redemption: Make up for the difficult meaning of the original plot (such as the death of Zuo Lan, the sacrifice of Liao Sanmin, and the fate of late autumn).
This is an excellent piece of work.
