1944, Shanghai.
On a snowy night in the French Concession, a woman came back from the United States. She just wanted to find out the cause of her father's death, but she ran into a situation with no end in sight.
Agents from the Wang Puppet Political Security Bureau targeted her. The military commander was observing her secretly. Even her father, whom she thought had died long ago, turned out to be a chess piece that fell again fifteen years later.
And the cold-faced man next to her——
Every word he said to her was false, except one that was true.
He said: No matter who you are, I am on your side.
Later she found out that he was a man of deep character and was acting to the whole world.
Only to her, alone.
When the truth was peeled back layer by layer, she discovered that the biggest mystery was not who killed her father.
But—who weaves this web behind the scenes.
