I, Shen Hanzhou, the last swordsman in Wudang, was ordered to go down the mountain to protect the country.
On the surface, I was a helpless teacher who was dragged to the county government to become a clerk in the civil service department.
Secretly, I killed traitors, intercepted intelligence, and assassinated senior Japanese military officials. I was known as the "Ghost of North China."
Until that day, Gu Mingyue, the number one socialite in Shanghai, landed in our county and moved in next door to me.
She smiled innocently, went through my windows, stole my lesson plans, and knocked on my door in the middle of the night to borrow a candle.
I should have killed this suspicious woman with one sword—
But when she fell in a pool of blood, what she shouted was our contact code.
The whole city was under martial law, and the Japanese military police were blocking the alleys.
She was covered in wounds and smiled weakly in my arms: "Teacher Shen... How are you going to save me this time?"
