Phantom Blade

1972, Chengdu. Top magician Chen Huan suddenly became a "spy" after performing abroad - a box of top-secret national defense film mysteriously appeared in his prop box. The evidence is perfect and the injustice is unjust. He realizes that the forces framing him not only come from outside, but also lurk deep in the system. In order to seek innocence, he publicly escaped from prison using a large-scale "iron cage disappearance" magic trick during a prison performance. Since then, he has become a desperado hunted by both internal and external parties. On the way to escape, magic is his weapon, and illusion is his law of survival. Disguise, psychological misdirection, traps... He turned what he had learned throughout his life into a sharp blade to resist pursuit. Side by side with him is the only female investigator Shen Qing who firmly believes in his injustice. The two established a silent trust in the dangerous situation of life and death, and gradually touched the core of the conspiracy: a historical secret code-named "Ghost List", and the leader of the enemy agents hidden deep within the public security - the "Shopkeeper." Chen Huan is determined to launch the ultimate counterattack in the most familiar way. He carefully planned a public illusion, vowing to make the truth "reappear" in full view of the public and lure the snake out of its hole. When the illusion came to an end and the real murderer was revealed, he was shocked to find that his life experience had become a mystery, and the "shopkeeper" had already laid deeper foreshadowing at every step of his escape...
