   Transmigrating to the Republican era and becoming a spy? And bound to an unreliable "pitfall system"! The female protagonist initially wanted to relax and enjoy the drama, but the system forces her to complete high-risk missions: stealing intelligence, maneuvering among powerful figures, even walking a tightrope... Unfortunately, the system's rewards are inconsistent, leaving her desperately demanding a refund! The author uses a humorous tone to defuse the heaviness of the chaotic era, with the female protagonist constantly pulling off stunts—using modern thinking to outwit villains, relying on her "drama queen" persona to get by, and recklessly testing the limits of life and death. However, as the missions deepen, she gradually becomes embroiled in a secret war between her family and the nation, witnessing the power of faith amidst laughter and tears.
