    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.

    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 core by traitors and applauded by the Chinese people, allowed a family to navigate the complex web of power struggles in the turbulent Shanghai undercurrents, where a thrilling spy war was quietly unfolding.
