Modern-day overworked office drone Lin Wanzhao wakes up in 1937 in the body of a rookie underground agent known as "Nightingale." She's bound to a stingy Merit System: fail to complete a mission and it deducts merit points; let her balance drop below zero and she's erased! The System gives her a shabby pocket dimension and a bunch of useless skills, then tosses her into enemy territory, crawling with danger.
From the outer circle of the Military Statistics Bureau to the Special Services Division at No. 76, from Shanghai to Chongqing and then the Northeast, Lin Wanzhao is forced to grow from a makeup artist who goes weak-kneed at the sight of blood into "Sixth Brother," a name that strikes fear into Japanese and puppet-government forces alike. She thinks her greatest danger is having her identity exposed, but it turns out the deadliest threats are these: she raids the Japanese army's poison gas depot, only to discover the "comrade" she rescued is a spy; she turns a top Military Statistics Bureau agent, only to learn there's an even bigger conspiracy behind him.
Everyone thinks she's the "God of Wealth," but the real "God of Wealth" is plotting against her in secret. When the Merit System starts malfunctioning, she discovers that her transmigration wasn't an accident, and the System isn't a golden finger. She's a lab rat dropped into the torrent of history.
This is an ensemble spy drama about disguise and faith, betrayal and redemption. The female lead goes from relying on the System to stay alive to solving crises through her own ability, from fearing killing to willingly giving her life for her beliefs. There is no invincible golden finger, only a backbone forged step by step through blood and fire. The writing is lighthearted without losing its weight, and the plot is tense yet warm, because true heroes have always been ordinary people.
