After Chen Xiao transmigrated, he found himself as a newcomer in a company’s advertising department. The boss assigned him to shoot a diamond commercial. Originally, Chen Xiao planned to just muddle through it somehow. But then—a system activated!

Chen Xiao instantly gained master-level directing skills and the complete script of Titanic!

Diamond Company: "We just asked you to shoot a commercial, and you turned it into the peak of romance films?!"

Ministry of Culture: "We wanted you to film a drama promo, and your version of Farewell My Concubine stunned the entire world?!"

Ministry of Science and Technology: "We wanted you to show the human side of scientists, and you made Interstellar and swept the global box office?!"

But the audience exploded:

“The protagonist died! The protagonist died! Everyone except the protagonist died!”

“Who the hell bought the trending tag ‘Farewell My Concubine: Sweetest Love Story Ever’?! I watched that on New Year’s Eve! Are you even human?!”

“Even the animated film was a tragedy? You didn’t even spare the kids! Chen the Butcher, are you even a person?!”

“Does your conscience not ache? Your money, your awards, your company and studios—they were all built from our tears!”

“New film releasing this Spring Festival? Bro, I give up. Please, have mercy!”

Set in the 26th year of the Republic of China, Shanghai’s foreign concessions are a battlefield hidden in plain sight—teams of spies, military agents, and corrupt officials vie for control.

Chen Zhifei, once a humble police constable at the Meilan precinct, is suddenly promoted to “Chief Detective,” prized by various factions for his sharp insight and uncanny ability to gather intelligence.

He’s recruited by the Military Intelligence Bureau, courted by the Special Higher Police, and included among the puppet government’s inner circles... all because he awakened the Daily Intelligence System, granting him one critical piece of intel each morning.

With this knowledge, he walks the shadows of espionage, manipulating enemies and allies alike.
