She is the most pampered socialite and the top target on the Mei Agency's hit list.
Back from studying in Britain, Shen Nian is the beloved eldest daughter of the Hengyuan Textile Company, a leading name in Hong Kong City's business world.
The Japanese military police, Wang Jingwei's 76th Division, and the Kuomintang's Lixing Society: all three have their eyes on her.
Everyone thinks she's a pawn they can manipulate at will.
Until the top-secret file codenamed "Petrel" is set ablaze.
She navigates Asano Shuichi's schemes and tears apart Gu Yunfei's attempts to recruit her. With a fake ledger, she brings a citywide purge down on the 76th Division; with a single photograph, she forces the Kuomintang to pick a side.
Three years undercover, and she makes the entire city of Hong Kong kneel and watch as one woman unleashes a storm.
"Miss Shen, who are you, really?"
She wipes the blood from her cuff and laughs. "Guess."
