    In Shanghai, occupied by invaders, there lived a prominent and prestigious family—the Lin family. The eldest brother, Lin Zhenbang, was the head of the Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai financial division, codenamed "God of Wealth," but his true identity was a secret agent for the underground Communist Party, codenamed "Cedar." The second brother, Lin Duhan, was the head of the Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai operations section, codenamed "Assassin." The third sister, Lin Hanyue, was the head of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics' Shanghai intelligence section, codenamed "Music Box," and also had a hidden identity, codenamed "Deep Sea." The protagonist, Lin Yun, was the youngest brother, always pampered by his older siblings. They all hoped he would stay away from danger and live a peaceful life; the Lin family's wealth was more than enough to support him as a carefree playboy. But no one could have imagined that this seemingly ordinary and unassuming young master of the Lin family was actually the most deeply hidden patriot, codenamed "Porter." A transmigrator disguised as an ordinary person, a hidden night emissary, wielding multiple identities: President of the Hundred Knowledge Society, Master of the Time Pavilion, and Master of the Dark Fire Hall. These titles, hated to the bone by traitors and applauded by the Chinese people, are used by one family to navigate various forces in the turbulent Shanghai undercurrents, where a thrilling spy war is quietly unfolding.

    [Heart][Heart] The female lead is amazing! She killed many Japanese soldiers, emptied their supply depot, and helped an undercover agent pass on information. During the war in the Republic of China era, what can an ordinary person do if they transmigrate to this era? They're just another piece of cannon fodder. People died in the Japanese bigwigs' ward at the hospital. One or two would be okay, but all 20 or so died? How is that possible? How did the murderer do it? Jiang Nansu appeared and disappeared like a ghost, constantly spitting out fire chains behind the plainclothes officers. When they turned around, she hid. When they chased her, she emerged, employing guerrilla tactics like retreating when the enemy advanced, harassing when the enemy camped, attacking when the enemy was tired, and pursuing when the enemy retreated—she played them incredibly well… It's great!
