Stand-In

She gets up at 5:20 every day to fry eggs, and the yolks are always medium-cooked. Her name is Shen Mo, she is thirty-eight years old, a mother of two children, the wife of a criminal police captain, and a housewife who can bargain for two cents at the vegetable market. She is also the most dangerous legacy of the old Northern Alliance - a fugitive agent code-named "Zero". Twenty years ago, she crawled out of a frozen fish carriage, covered in blood and without a name. She was given a new face, a fake past, and a husband she had never met. She thought that by playing an ordinary woman for a lifetime, she could deceive everyone. Until the seven-year-old daughter said: "Mom, that pregnant woman's belly is hard, and there is a stick moving inside." Until her husband saw on the surveillance camera that she used a tactical stance to protect the child three seconds before the explosion. Until the deceased father-in-law left a letter: "If I were alive, I would always be watching you from the dark." Shadow Pavilion is here. The organization that trained her, hunted her down, and wanted to use her children to continue the experiment finally confirmed her location. Her husband begins to investigate her, her children begin to inherit her, and she must decide whether to run away again or risk her last life for this deceived family. She is not a hero. She is just a knife that has been broken too many times. But this time, the person she wanted to protect was behind her.
