In the twenty-seventh year of the Republic of China, Chengdu. On Huaxing Street on a rainy night, Shen Yanzhou, the daughter of a salt merchant, used three bowls of rice to redeem a dying orphan girl from a trafficker and named her \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\"Zhou Siwei\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" brought her back to Shen Mansion to eat and live with her, teach her how to read and read, and told her that women should be independent and self-reliant. In the same year, she met Xu Xianghui, a scholar from a poor family who had failed many times in the Confucian Temple, and she kindly helped him many times to protect his literary self-esteem.
A few years later, Shen Yanzhou returned from overseas, and openly joined the Kuomintang party headquarters, secretly working as an underground party intelligence agent for the Chinese Communist Party. Zhou Siwei has grown into the eldest daughter of the Shen family, and Xu Xianghui has also relied on the care of the Shen family to gain a foothold in the city. The three reunited, and cracks spread quietly under the surface of tenderness - Xu Xianghui felt ashamed in front of Shen Yanzhou's talent and magnanimity, hiding her admiration under her inferiority; Zhou Siwei looked at everything Shen Yanzhou had been born with, and felt poisonous jealousy in his bones.
The spy leader Lin Qiushi appeared on the scene and took aim at these two seeds of ambition bred from inferiority. The olive branch of the Secrecy Bureau, the sweet bait of power, and the sentence \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Sooner or later she will abandon you\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" accurately hit the Achilles' heel of both of them.
This is a long spy story of the Republic of China with Chengdu as the base: from personal salvation to the righteousness of the family and country, from tender daily life to betrayal and purgatory. When mountains and rivers are about to burn to the ground, some people choose to walk towards the light in the abyss.
Intention: There is no antidote to the evil of the weak - those who are saved may not be grateful, and those who are treated well may backlash. But after going through betrayal and purgatory, still choosing to turn to the light is true heroism. Personal grudges will eventually give way in the face of the general trend of the family and the country. They will use up their family wealth to protect the fire and merge into the mountains and rivers anonymously.
