Synopsis:
Set during the Japanese occupation of Shanghai in 1941, the drama follows Chen Shan who was forced to be a Japanese spy to save his younger sister who was held in captive; and his journey to become a patriotic fighter.
In 1941 Shanghai, a man captures the attention of the Japanese due to his resemblance to a BIS spy. He gets pulled into the dangerous world of espionage yet through the influence of another, he realizes his responsibilities as a citizen of his country and throws himself into the anti-occupation efforts. Chen Shan makes a living on the streets by trading intelligence. Because he resembles BIS operative Xiao Zheng Guo, Japanese spy leader Huang Mu Wei kidnaps Chen Shan’s sister Chen Xia so that he will have no choice but to do their bidding. To save her, Chen Shan undergoes special training and proves to be an exceptional spy.
Assuming Xiao Zheng Guo’s identity, Chen Shan infiltrates the BIS headquarters in Chongqing and starts a mission where one small misstep could cost his life. As a Chinese citizen, Chen Shan never really wanted to betray his motherland. He meets Zhang Li, a woman with firm beliefs and slowly turns into a man who is willing to give up even his own life for the sake of his country. Source: ChineseDrama.info
