Dreaming Back to 1938: A Magician Hunts War Criminals

[This book is set against the broad historical backdrop of Nanjing’s fall in 1938. It strictly follows the course of history and does not alter established historical facts. The protagonist’s actions are meant to bring overlooked crimes to justice, not to change the suffering of the Chinese people.]

[The magic tricks, hypnotic suggestions, and related details of retribution in this story are fictional creations intended to serve the plot. Please do not imitate them in real life.]

[Remember history and honor the fallen heroes. Every plot point is written with reverence for the truth. Justice may be late, but it will never be absent.]

By day, I’m Duan Ye, a modern close-up magician. At night, I return to Nanjing in 1938, after its fall, and take over the body of “Duan San,” a translator branded a traitor and despised by his own people.

They don’t know my purpose: to drag the war criminals history overlooked back before the bar of justice!

I have no System, no supernatural abilities, and not even modern weapons. All I can rely on to fight these vicious beasts are magic tricks, psychological manipulation, and modern knowledge.

The Japanese think I’m a translator who grovels at their feet. The collaborators think I’m one of them. My countrymen think I’m a traitor. But I’ll use this most despicable identity to punish the criminals history overlooked.

The land has changed hands, but old debts remain unpaid.

This time, not one of those forgotten crimes will escape justice!
