Synopsis

In 1940, with various forces occupying Nanjing, secret agent Jin Shen Shui navigates daily between the Japanese military, the puppet government led by Wang Jingwei, and the military intelligence agency.

Like walking on the edge of a blade, he, with multiple identities, carefully survives in the devastated city of Nanjing. Concealing his true self, he searches for a path not only for himself but also for the entire nation.

It is not until he encounters Lin Yingying, who shares his deep-seated hatred for the enemy and appears even more adept at maneuvering through the chaos, that Jin Shen Shui, through their joint battles and struggles against various forces, truly begins to awaken in the midst of the turbulent times.
