    The black text turned redder the more you looked at it, and the male lead, female lead, second male lead, second female lead, and even third male lead and third female lead were all resisting the Japanese in different ways! The male lead was originally a spendthrift playboy who was possessed by a "saint-type" transmigrator for three years. After finally regaining his body, he was forced to imitate the other party and pretend to be a "perfect persona". What's even more amazing is that he has a lucky charm buff. He can stumble upon enemy secret talks while drinking tea and pick up key intelligence while shopping. Everyone praises him for being able to predict things.
