Espionage in Republican-Era China: My System Ran Away

Shanghai, 1934, in the International Settlement. The youngest Chinese detective inspector at the Gordon Road Police Station: no one knows how many identities lie beneath his uniform. White? Red? And a transmigrator who fell from the sky? He holds a hidden thread in his hands. The cases that seem unrelated are drawing every faction in Shanghai together. The dead can't talk, but the living are all lying. One case leads to another. Each is like a stone tossed into the water, sending out ripples that overlap and reach deeper into Shanghai's undercurrents: the schemes of the swindlers who prey on wealthy men, the traps set by the Eight Generals of the Qianmen, underworld figures entrenched in the alleyways and living by their own rules, and Japanese agents hiding in corners of the International Settlement. Are you here to solve the cases, or to flip the table?
