A False Face Across the Land

In the turbulent Republic of China, undercurrents surge. He Yun, a Zhejiang-born officer, is naturally almost identical in appearance and build to Jiang Shijie. Their features, expressions, stature, and even the smallest habitual gestures are strikingly alike. He is the highest-level secret double, selected in secret by the Military Statistics Bureau. A low-ranking officer with a conscience, a family, and a livelihood, he has no desire to enter the whirlpool of power. Yet because his face is so like that of the supreme ruler, he is forcibly swept into the heart of the political struggles, espionage, and assassinations of the Republic of China.
