"The Secret of the Island"
In 1941, the isolated island of Shanghai fell into night and haze.
Martial law is normalized throughout the city, streets and lanes are blocked at any time, prosperity is a disguised mask, and people's hearts are like locked cages.
Shen Yan, an underground agent who has been lurking in Shanghai for many years under the skin of an elegant businessman, has a hidden edge and walks on thin ice.
Su Qingyuan, the military commander's nightingale wanders in the dark night, wrapped in a cheongsam with a sharp blade, cool and cold, walking alone on the blade.
A strange serial murder case, a Yingluo project shrouded in darkness, and the undercurrent of the Japanese biochemical conspiracy swept through the entire Shanghai.
He and she have opposite positions and opposing camps. They should be mortal enemies of each other, and they are incompatible with each other.
But time and time again, he was trapped in temporarily blocked streets and enclosed and uninhabited spaces.
Suspicion and temptation coexist, and wariness and tacit understanding are entangled.
In the chess game of troubled times, everyone is a pawn. Love and hate cannot be expressed, and sincerity dare not be revealed.
Morikawa Yuichi holds a net in his hand and presses forward step by step. Spies are spread throughout the city, trying to drive out all lurkers.
When the biochemical experiment quietly unfolded and the butcher's knife hung above the island, the two undercover agents were forced to join forces to face the crisis in the abyss of eternity.
The city is full of flames and murderous intent is everywhere.
Some feelings are born in troubled times and end at home and country.
Some secrets are buried in ashes for a lifetime, unspeakable.
The island blockade can be solved,
The ashes of the human heart can never be sealed.

The writing is cool and restrained, the double agents are delicate and engaging, and the plot is depressing and addictive.
