The neon lights of the ten-mile foreign market never go out, but it is a prison filled with blood. She, Shen Qingyue, is a new woman who returned from Kyoto Imperial University in Japan. She cherishes the ideal of saving the country, but she is trapped in a secret place of the Wang puppet government. She has become a cold and aloof "vase" in the eyes of her colleagues because of her background in studying abroad. He, Gu Zhixing, is a well-connected upstart in Shanghai's chamber of commerce. He drinks and chats with Japanese officers all day long. During an encounter at a masquerade ball, she watched with cold eyes as he flattered and performed his tricks; during a secret mission confrontation, he smiled and tested her bottom line with a hidden knife. No one knows that she was a secret chess piece of the Anti-Japanese Alliance when she was studying abroad; no one even realizes that under his flattering suit, he hides the sharpest knife in the military command.
