1937, Shanghai.
There was singing and dancing in the concession, and gunfire was raging outside the concession.
Shen Wantang was originally just an ordinary salesperson behind the counter of Yongan Company. Wearing exquisite makeup, selling expensive cream, and dreaming of one day moving to an apartment in the French Concession.
The war changed everything.
It also turned her into another person.
Something called "the system" lived in her mind. It tells her: You can save people. You can change history.
So she began to use the counter to convey information, use makeup to cover her comrades, and use every alley, every pavilion, and every rickshaw driver and hawker she knew in the city to weave a network.
At the other end of the net is "Hongtang" that the Japanese want to catch.
At the other end of the net is herself.
She never wanted to be a hero.
She just couldn't watch.
In August 1945, news of victory came.
In the carnival crowd, she remembered the last words the system said before it disappeared:
"History remembers many people. Now, it remembers you too."
Shen Wantang, former salesperson of Shanghai Yongan Company.
Codename: Hongtang.
Status: Alive.

The writing is really good, there is a peaceful pain, an indescribable feeling
Although I haven't read a few chapters, in the first few chapters where the medicine order is delivered, there is also a paragraph that I wrote when I came back.
