Synopsis

[Discipline Fiction] [Family Rules and Discipline] This is the story of the eldest sister of the Mysterious Shadow, who raised three brothers to adulthood. Volume One covers the first half of her life, and Volume Two the second half. The Ming family has strict rules: the brothers are cherished, but they are disciplined too.

Character Introductions:

Ming Jing (Eldest Sister):

Chairwoman of the Shanghai Ming Corporation, she secretly funds the Chinese Communist Party under the guise of being a capitalist with leftist sympathies. After her parents died, she inherited the family business at seventeen and raised Ming Lou, Ming Cheng, and Ming Tai.

As the eldest sister, Ming Jing combines the compassion of a traditional Chinese woman with a revolutionary's decisiveness. Within the family, she secretly supports her younger brothers' resistance efforts and passes on the family's upright values through strict discipline.

Ming Lou (Eldest Brother):

The eldest son of the Shanghai Ming family. He has immense respect for his eldest sister and dotes on his youngest brother, though he can be strict at times. He willingly follows orders. Later, he has three identities: on the surface, he is chief financial adviser in the Ministry of Finance's Economic Affairs Department, deputy director of the Special Affairs Committee, and inspector general of the Customs Administration. In reality, he is a colonel and head of the intelligence section at the Shanghai Station of the Kuomintang Military Statistics Bureau. His true identity is leader of the Chinese Communist Party's Shanghai underground intelligence team.

Ming Cheng (Second Brother):

Ming Cheng, also known as A Cheng and Qing Ci, was adopted by Aunt Gui as a child and abused. At ten, he was rescued by Ming Jing and her brothers and welcomed into the Ming family. He later accompanied Ming Lou to study at the University of Paris. Ming Cheng is both Ming Lou's most trusted aide and brother, and a protector to Ming Tai as he grows up. He also bears responsibility for keeping the Ming family safe.

Ming Tai (Young Master):

His real name is Li Jia Hong, and his codename is “Scorpion.” He was originally leader of the action team at the Kuomintang Military Statistics Bureau's Shanghai Station, and later joined the Chinese Communist Party. He is the adopted son of the Shanghai Ming family, their young master.
