Shanghai, 1937.
The concessions are filled with dancing and song, while outside them the cannons roar.
Shen Wantang was just an ordinary salesgirl behind the counter at Wing On Department Store. She put on elegant makeup, sold expensive Snow Flower Cream, and dreamed of one day moving into an apartment in the French Concession.
The war changed everything.
It turned her into someone else, too.
Something called the System took up residence in her mind. It told her: You can save people. You can change history.
So she began passing intelligence through the counter, using cosmetics to cover for her comrades, and weaving a web from every alley and cramped back-room apartment in the city, along with every rickshaw puller and street vendor she knew.
At the far end of that web was “Red Tang,” the person the Japanese wanted to capture.
At this end was Shen Wantang herself.
She never wanted to be a hero.
She just couldn’t stand by and watch.
In August 1945, news of victory arrived.
Amid the celebrating crowds, she remembered the last words the System said before it disappeared:
“History remembers many people. Now, it remembers you, too.”
Shen Wantang, former salesgirl at Shanghai’s Wing On Department Store.
Code name: Red Tang.
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.
Can you give me more suggestions?
