Behind Enemy Lines, I Became the Japanese Army's Nightmare

Top assassin Xiao Yichen is betrayed by his trusted confidant. Ambushed on a rainy night, he takes several bullets and falls into the river. When he opens his eyes again, he finds himself in a narrow alley in Jiangcheng, which fell to the enemy in 1938.

A drunken Japanese soldier attacks civilians in broad daylight. Xiao Yichen snaps his neck with his bare hands and steals his identity, taking the name “Sato Yi” and openly infiltrating enemy ranks as the son of a Japanese military aristocrat.

By day, he is a rising young officer in the Special Higher Police, moving among senior Japanese commanders and their wives. Battle plans, troop deployments, the enemy's most sensitive secrets are all within his grasp.

By night, he is the “Nightmare of Jiangcheng,” a name that strikes terror into the Japanese. Throwing knives, daggers, poisoned needles, and deadly traps make evil soldiers die without a sound, leaving no evidence behind.

He takes in orphans whose parents were slaughtered and gathers patriots left homeless by the war, forging them into the Nightblade death squad.

He steals weapons, destroys germ warfare facilities, breaks prisoners out of jail, rescues civilians, and hunts down traitors, turning the occupied territory upside down.

The Special Higher Police chief lays one trap after another. Elite agents wage a covert and overt battle of wits. The underground party's assassination squad hunts him down time and again...

He turns enemies against one another, frames them, and uses their schemes against them, keeping everyone dancing in the palm of his hand through a relentless battle of wits.

The Japanese revere him as a loyal blade of the empire,

never realizing that this poisoned blade will one day pierce the heart of the entire Japanese army in Central China!

Alone in the dark, he kills to stop the killing.

In Jiangcheng's endless night, I am the nightmare.
