Synopsis

In 1941, Gu Xiaomeng, a KMT agent, succeeds in infiltrating in Wang Jingwei's government.

But because of the assassination of a senior officer of the Japanese Intelligence Department, she is captured by the Japanese secret service chief, Long Chuan Fei Yuan, and the head of the secret service of Wang Jingwei's government, Wang Tianxiang, together with his colleagues, Li Ningyu, Jin Shenghuo, Wu Zhiguo, and Bai Xiaonian.

When they learn that the Chinese communist code-named "Lao Gui" is among the five, they try all the way to force "Lao Gui" to appear.

But the "Lao Gui" wisely maneuvers with the Japanese and the secret agents with evil intentions, creating all sorts of illusions to confuse the enemy.

She not only causes confusion within the enemy organization but also finds the spy codenamed "Huang Que" who was painstakingly hidden in the underground organization by Long Chuan Fei Yuan.
