The moment Shen Qinghe opens her eyes, she finds herself in the War of Resistance era, inhabiting a refugee woman despised by everyone.
The night the Japanese soldiers enter the village, the villagers push her forward as an offering to save themselves.
Everyone expects her to beg for mercy, but instead she picks up an old rifle, shoots the Japanese officer dead, and saves the entire village.
When Lu Huaichuan, captain of the Eighth Route Army, arrives, all he sees is a girl covered in mud and blood, holding a rifle with a terrifyingly cold gaze.
He points his gun at her. “Who are you, really?”
Shen Qinghe wants to know that herself.
She knows how to shoot and save people, and someone teaches her to snipe in her dreams. But the cloud-shaped clasp left behind by the body's original owner draws the Japanese, collaborators, and the mysterious Shadow Society after her.
They capture children, burn villages, and force her to hand over the clasp.
Shen Qinghe refuses to back down.
In these turbulent times, women don't have to just cry or wait for someone to save them.
She will take up a gun to save her neighbors, her comrades, and everyone driven to the brink.
From a jinx the whole village offered up to the Japanese to a sharpshooter who makes them tremble in fear.
In this life, amid the flames of war, she will fight her way to survival, one shot at a time.
