1940, Shanghai Gudao.
An elaborate masquerade is taking place.
She is Lin Muqing, a student at Hujiang University and now the widow of a wealthy Nanyang businessman.
He is Shen Biquan, an important member of the Wang puppet government, a military agent, a Marxist fighter, and a person with multiple identities living in the shadows.
When the tango dance sounds in the Chinachem Hotel, when Monet's water lilies become a code, when every line of poetry hides murderous intent——
This encounter that started as a conspiracy will eventually lead to an unpredictable ending.
In the last days of the isolated island, everyone was like a water ghost sinking at the bottom of the Huangpu River, holding a stone called faith, eyes open, waiting for the dawn.
We sink so that more people can come up.
Purpose: In absolute darkness, explore and practice the ultimate form of faith, and rebuild true knowledge on the ruins of faith.
