July 16, 1937, Shanghai North Railway Station.
Shen Qingyan was waiting for a delayed train.
He didn't wait for his brother, only waited for three gunshots.
The brother fell into a pool of blood in the warehouse and gave him a blue cloth bag, leaving behind a password, an address, and a name he had never heard before.
Paramount pianist, Su Xiangwan.
Overnight, the teacher who taught poetry writing became the number one target of Chen Yinzhou, the leader of Agent No. 76.
He doesn't know the code, has never touched a gun, and can't even lie.
But he must hide in the neon shadow of the concession and send a secret document concerning the life and death of tens of millions of people in Jiangnan out of Shanghai under the eyes of the enemy.
What can a scholar use against a gun?
Use his pen, his life, and the last words his brother taught him:
"We scholars are not just good at writing articles. We can also protect our country."
