Deep Undercover
In January 1940, during a brutal blizzard in the mountains, Liang Shuo, an underground operative of the Communist Party, is gravely injured and loses his memory. When he awakens, he can no longer recall his true identity or mission. Carrying only fragmented clues, he makes his way to Shanghai in search of answers about who he really is.
However, upon arriving in the city, Liang Shuo is caught in a large-scale roundup conducted by the Japanese army. Under suspicion, he begins to believe that he may be affiliated with the military. Soon after, members of Wang Puppet Government’s No. 76 intelligence agency approach him and claim that he is actually the director of their Operations Division, further deepening the mystery surrounding his identity.
At the same time, the Japanese authorities and the Wang Puppet Government are preparing to hold the so-called “Peace and Co-Prosperity Conference.” Behind the façade of cooperation, a group of refugee laborers imprisoned by the Japanese face a grim fate—they are to be sent to the battlefield following the conference, with their lives hanging in the balance.
Trapped between lost memories, conflicting identities, and the dangerous political landscape of wartime Shanghai, Liang Shuo must uncover the truth before it is too late. As the shadows of espionage and war close in, his choices will determine not only his own fate, but also the lives of countless innocent people.
