[Spy Thriller] [Major Reimagining] [No System] [No Golden Finger] [History Buffs Beware]

Yu Zecheng, an ordinary field agent in the Military Statistics Bureau, only wants a quiet life and hopes to reunite with his beloved after victory in the War of Resistance. But after witnessing his country fall and his people suffer, and enduring betrayal, awakening, life-and-death trials, and impossible choices, he resolutely defects to the other side, becoming an underground operative codenamed Emei Peak. A Studebaker car sets him on his path. He advances with careful steps, embedding himself in the heart of the Kuomintang's intelligence apparatus. From Chongqing to Nanjing, then Tianjin, he navigates the forces of the Japanese invaders, the Wang Jingwei regime, the Military Statistics Bureau, and the Central Bureau of Investigation. Amid the undercurrents, he steals top-secret intelligence, protects fellow operatives, and turns enemies to his side. With patience and wit, he safeguards the light in the darkness, becoming the most legendary undercover agent on the clandestine front. His comrades in the secret war quietly call him the "Studebaker Boy."
