Espionage: Codename Scalpel

“You're saying the military intelligence service's ace agent, Willow Blade, is on our side, but he isn't one of our comrades?”

“Yes, Chief. He's helped us countless times. He gave us large quantities of supplies and money for free, provided us with a great deal of valuable intelligence, rescued several of our key comrades, and repeatedly helped us root out traitors. He once said that the willow-leaf blade in his hand is a weapon for killing Japanese soldiers and traitors in the military intelligence service, but on our side, it's a scalpel that saves lives. His identity as a Western doctor is top secret. The military intelligence agents don't know about it.”

“Willow Blade really isn't a Party member?”

“I've asked him several times to join us, but he's turned me down each time. He said that when the time is right, he'll officially join the Party.”

A deputy chief physician at a top-tier hospital transmigrates into the Republican-era city of Jinling, into a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners.

To save his own life, he helps the Special Services Office revive a Japanese spy, then uses acupuncture to force the spy to confess. This earns him a place in the training class and sets him on a covert front full of thorns and challenges.

He infiltrates Longtan and becomes a razor-sharp blade for our Party in the heart of enemy territory, repeatedly turning the tide of intelligence warfare.

During the War of Resistance, he also navigates between the Japanese and their puppet regime, exhausting himself to strengthen the united front against Japan and ensure intelligence gets through.

He builds a secret intelligence network and joins forces with patriotic compatriots, using an array of covert identities to gather intelligence on Japanese military operations and strategic deployments.

He even dares to venture into the tiger's den, playing along with Japanese and puppet spy agencies as he infiltrates the social circles of senior Japanese military officers.

He quietly devotes himself to the cause of national liberation, becoming a hidden Great Wall against foreign invaders.
