In Shanghai, neon is the last fig leaf.
She is the most popular dancer of Paramount, Manny. Her smile can captivate the whole world and then break her heart with laughter. No one knows that she is also the "Nightingale", an underground intelligence agent who scares the Japanese and puppets, walking on the tip of a knife, delivering bloody intelligence.
He is Shen Che, the most dangerous leader of the Special High School, with ruthless methods and deep thoughts. He was ordered to capture the "Nightingale" and set up a dragnet, vowing to crush this lurking ghost to ashes.
In the interrogation room, when he watched his men aim their cold guns at the bruised woman, his reason told him that she should confirm her identity immediately.
But he heard himself say: "Anything that lets her go belongs to me."
He thought it was a cat-and-mouse game, but he didn't know that he had already become a prisoner of emotion.
When her identity was finally revealed and death was close at hand, he personally thrust a knife into her palm and said in a hoarse voice, "Stick it in and prove to me that you really want to kill me."
