Synopsis

The story takes place after 1946, after the WWII Japanese surrender and a Chinese civil war breaks out.

An underground worker for the Communist Party, Yu Zecheng (Sun Honglei), is an undetected spy within the Kuomintang (KMT) secret service. He has to keep his distance from his true love, Zuo Lan, in order to conceal his real identity and agrees to marry Wang Cuiping (Yao Chen), a quick-tempered but straightforward guerrilla fighter from the countryside. The two collaborate closely to help their organization obtain important information from the KMT that's valuable to the Communist Party. Despite their marriage's false beginning, they eventually grow to love each other.

With Liberation Day impending, Cuiping, threatened by exposure of his secret identity, is asked to be transported somewhere else for security reasons, leaving Yu. When Yu is also about to leave, after successfully obtaining a crucial name list, he is taken away by the KMT secret police on a secret service assignment to Taiwan, where he has to spend the rest of his life, lurking.

Lurk Spy Museum

A museum has been established in Tianjin, where the script was based off. In Da Li Dao 57, guests are welcome to come and see Wang Tian Mu's old residence, which is now a private owned museum as well as a restaurant. Many of the objects used in the TV series can be seen there, and it is possible to have Tianjins local historian to come and talk about the house, the area and the city. Some of the scenes in the TV series were also taken in this place.[8]
