In 1937, in the turbulent Republic of China, modern young man Lin Shubai accidentally traveled to the twenty-sixth year of the Republic of China and became a captain and operations captain of the Secret Service (the predecessor of the military command). Relying on his prediction of the direction of history and his calm and meticulous mind, he danced on the edge of the knife step by step from his first appearance in the Takeda Chamber of Commerce leak case to the smashing of the "Sakura Project" assassination conspiracy.
During the artillery fire of the Battle of Songhu, he and his comrades fought bloody battles to collect intelligence. In the chaos of Nanjing's retreat, he witnessed the cruelty of the war but adhered to the bottom line of being an agent. The firm belief of underground party member Shen Qinglan and the life-and-death support of his comrade-in-arms Gu Wanqing allowed him to continue to grow in the entanglement of belief and emotion.
From Shanghai to Chongqing, from Myanmar to Hong Kong, Lin Shubai led the team to crack the Japanese spy network, protect the international aid channels to China, and uphold the justice of the family and the country in the game of forces between all parties. After seeing through the corrupt nature of the party-state, he chose to fake his death and retire, completing his own legend before dawn.
This is a spy epic about faith, sacrifice and choice. At the junction of darkness and light, the life of an unknown hero is written.
