In the thirty-fourth year of Jingyou's reign (1898), the Hujiang Concession coexisted with prosperity and darkness.
As the comprador of Jardine Matheson, Chen Zimo traveled between China and foreign countries, dealing with the overt and covert conflicts of business.
Until he touched a broken sword that was supposed to be sleeping and heard the sigh that spanned thousands of years.
The outside world: He is a smooth and professional comprador of a foreign company, and the spy of the Revolutionary Party under Song Jiaoren.
In the other world: He is an awakened member of the Jiangu Society, holding the famous weapon "Broken Rainbow".
Undercurrent: The mysterious organization "Holy Word Society" is frantically plundering national weapons, and the imperial court's "Secretary of Extraordinary Spirits" compiles a roster and closely monitors it.
After a lot of fog, is it the truth about his father's death, or is it the end of the country's weapons under the great changes?
"I have seen that the sword would rather break than bend, and I have also seen that the tide of this era is surging. My name is Chen Zimo. I am in Hujiang, appraising things and people."
