The Invisible Guardian: The Road Home at Dawn

1937–1945. The smoke of war clears from Shanghai, leaving the city isolated. Shen Yan, a young man from the modern era, transmigrates by chance, taking the place of Xiao Tu, who has been ambushed and left on the brink of death. Armed with the complete plot of The Invisible Guardian and memories of the fates that await, he becomes Hu Feng, a Communist underground agent, and enters this occupied city where every step could be his last. With no System and no golden finger, and without making anyone act foolishly, he relies solely on his foreknowledge and masterful spycraft. Wearing the mask of a traitor, he walks a razor’s edge, maneuvering among the Japanese Special Higher Police, Wang Jingwei’s collaborationist agents, Kuomintang secret operatives, and his underground comrades. The life of a spy means staring death in the face at every turn; amid the chaos of war, love takes deep root.
