The story takes place in the winter of 1932 in Shanghai, when Rosalind, a national spy, has her identity exposed. Surrounded by the media outside her apartment, she has barely left her bedroom for weeks, trying to figure out how to deal with the situation after Orion was captured and lost his memories of her. Although their marriage may have been a sham, Orion’s absence still hurts her more than any physical wound.
The only way for Rosalind to leave the city and rescue Orion is to embark on a national tour. She convinces her superiors that the countryside needs unity more than ever, and no one is better suited than an immortal girl to ignite the people’s pride and strength.
However, when the tour goes awry, everything is suddenly turned upside down. While seeking refuge outside Shanghai, old ghosts begin to resurface, and enemies become allies. To save Orion, they must find an antidote to his mother’s traitorous invention and prevent this dangerous chemical weapon from falling into the hands of foreign invaders. But time is running out, and if Rosalind fails, she will lose not only Orion but also her nation.
