    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, depict a family maneuvering among various forces in the turbulent Shanghai undercurrents, culminating in a thrilling espionage operation.
