In the 31st year of the Republic of China, there were surging undercurrents on the beach in Shanghai. Military commanders, Wang puppets, and Japanese intelligence forces were competing with each other. Hidden games were everywhere, and every step hid a life-or-death crisis.
Twenty-two-year-old Lu Chenyuan was originally a talented scholar from Yanjing. His family was persecuted by foreign enemies and traitors, and he lost his relatives. After going through severe hardships, he tempered his sharp edge and pretended to be a timid and cowardly ordinary civilian in the military command station. He was despised and made things difficult by others, and no one could see through his true trump card.
He holds multiple secret identities, travels among various forces, secretly delivers key information, and adheres to his original intention of saving the country. The scheming top military officials and the scheming Japanese female spies set up traps one after another and set up dead ends many times, but they could never see through this seemingly mediocre young man.
The struggle for power in the court, the conspiracies of foreign enemies, and internal hidden dangers came one after another. Lu Chenyuan strategized, used the power to check and balance the hostile forces of all parties, and used top-notch wisdom to resolve desperate crises one after another.
He forbears the plan step by step, stirs up the intelligence chess game in Jiangnan by himself, sneaks in the endless darkness, holds an unknown dark blade, smashes the many conspiracies of the Japanese invaders and traitors, and protects the peace of the mountains and rivers.
