   Lin Guangyao picked up his pen and added a line below the hastily written suicide note: "Wang Tianfeng, head of the Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai station. Died for his country on the 25th day of the first month of 1939. Does anyone remember him?" He put down his pen, folded the letter, and placed it at the bottom of the drawer. There, locked away, was another piece of paper with four lines of poetry: "Where can a drifting duckweed find its anchor in this chaotic world? Only the plum blossoms reflected in the snow. Do not say that the road ahead is full of frost and snow, for our hearts are connected by a single thread of understanding." The ink had faded somewhat. He gently stroked those lines, as if stroking an old dream that could never be returned to. Outside the window, the lights of No. 76 across the street were still bright. Behind one of the windows, a woman in a black uniform was looking down, flipping through the files she needed to process that night. She did not look up. He did not wait. He simply closed the drawer, stood up, and walked to the window. The night in Shanghai was always so unfathomably black. But he knew that even the darkest night would eventually give way to dawn. I just wonder if those who never wake up after dawn will feel any regret. Lin Guangyao stood there for a long time. Long enough for the moon to move from the top of the sycamore tree to the eaves. Long enough for the clock to strike eleven. Long enough for him to finally say to himself: Zhou Wenhao, I've finished writing your poem for you. Wang Tianfeng, I've preserved your name for you. I'm still walking the path you walked. The day I can no longer walk, I will stop, just like you.

    The beginning of the story between the male and female protagonists feels incredibly fateful—in a pouring rain at a restaurant, she's soaked to the bone and desperate; in a second-floor private room, backlit by the sun, he casually catches her eye. The male protagonist is the son of a warlord, young, sharp, and ambitious, wanting to reclaim railway rights and reorganize the military before his father's birthday, proving he's more than just a "young marshal." The female protagonist is a clerk who is used by the male protagonist to investigate accounts, leading to her father's imprisonment. Their paths constantly cross in work and life, creating a tug-of-war between them. The writing style is delicate, with a touch of old-fashioned charm.

    Don't be fooled by the title. This isn't one of those "cold-faced young marshal falls in love with me" kind of Republican-era novel. There are no cheat codes, no time travel, no spatial abilities. The male lead won't conjure up a warehouse of Western medicine while fighting a war. The female lead won't pull out 21st-century antibiotics while bandaging someone. They're just two ordinary people, risking their lives and blood in a chaotic world. The supporting characters aren't just plot devices. The one you thought was the villain died clutching the female lead's photo. The one you thought was a rival watched the whole thing from the sidelines, calculating his whole life, only to find he'd calculated nothing. The smiling peddler at the alley entrance lived there for ten years; everyone knew him, and no one suspected him. He was the mole, but when he ran, he left behind blueprints he'd hidden for ten years. Is he good or bad? I don't know.

    Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1. Worth reading! The plot is fresh and original. The female lead is clear-headed and decisively rejects the male lead even when she's unsure of his feelings. The male lead is the sharp-tongued type, initially a womanizer, but becomes devoted to her after meeting her. The romance develops naturally, and the male lead, despite not fully understanding love, dotes on the female lead immensely. 2. I found a dark horse! The plot is fresh and unique; I haven't enjoyed a novel this much in a long time. I also really like the personalities of the male and female leads. The portrayal of the Republican era is very realistic, without any messy time travel or alternate identities—it simply tells their story in a straightforward way. Furthermore, the plot flows very smoothly.
