After her soul travels from Earth into a parallel world in the Republican era, Shanghai heiress Ye Qinglan binds to the “Salvation and Growth System.” She thinks she just needs to survive the chaos, but the System turns out to be sentient: it can chat, raise children, and generate unlimited supplies! She plans to lie low until the founding of New China, but unexpectedly stumbles upon an underground Communist Party operation. Wait, aren’t these our party’s revolutionary forebears?
“System, open the warehouse! Guns, medicine, food: I’m donating it all!”
On her first day joining the “Red Heart Society,” she’s assigned an undercover mission. Sent to work as a secretary for the “Azure Sky Party,” she gets promoted so quickly her boss starts questioning reality. Then she’s assigned to infiltrate the intelligence department of the “Sun Pill Army.” Ye Qinglan grins. Three identities in one espionage game: now this is exciting.
From a trembling undercover rookie to the “Phantom of Shanghai,” a name that strikes fear into all three enemy factions, Ye Qinglan uses the System to max out her Republican-era adventure. An Azure Sky Party official says, “She’s my most capable assistant!” A Sun Pill Army colonel says, “She’s the interpreter I trust most!” The Red Heart Society leader says, “She’s our sharpest hidden blade!”
Only the System knows the light in her eyes as she counts supplies late at night. “Today, I can save one more compatriot.”
Republican era + System + multifaceted spy + coming-of-age story, with nonstop thrills.
