In the summer and autumn of 1949, as the founding ceremony of the new China was about to take place, in the border town of Dan City, which had just been liberated, the activities of the Kuomintang spies were rampant, attempting to undermine the nascent red regime amidst internal and external turmoil as our foothold remained unstable. The reconnaissance hero Xu Chengdong had just returned triumphantly from the front lines when he was ordered to the Dan City Public Security Bureau to take full responsibility for the spy clearance work. The daughter of Commander He Qunshan, He Zhiyuan, secretly harbored feelings for Xu Chengdong, and Commander He’s old comrade—who was about to become the mayor of Dan City, Gao Ping—also thought the two were a natural pair. Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered Dan City, their convoy was ambushed by bandits. Public Security Bureau Chief He Qunshan was killed, and before dying, entrusted his daughter He Zhiyuan to Xu Chengdong. Xu Chengdong felt deeply conflicted inside because he had already developed feelings for Ge Yinhong, who posed as his wife while he worked as an underground liaison in Shanghai. Due to the needs of revolutionary work, the two lost contact and were far apart. To honor the dying wish of his commander and take care of the lonely He Zhiyuan, Xu Chengdong finally agreed to the marriage. He fully threw himself into reconnaissance work, temporarily forgetting the emotional torment within him. Little did he know, just as Xu Chengdong and He Zhiyuan were preparing for their wedding, his former lover Ge Yinhong unexpectedly reappeared and once again became his comrade, assisting him in the secret surrender work of the spies. The innocent He Zhiyuan was completely unaware, immersed in the happiness of about to become a bride, completely oblivious to the anguish in Xu Chengdong and Ge Yinhong’s hearts... Ge Yinhong urged Xu Chengdong to forget their past feelings and to love He Zhiyuan properly. Xu Chengdong embraced her one last time... On their wedding night, Xu Chengdong was filled with mixed emotions, got drunk, and was ambushed by spies led by Xie Botian. The enemy tortured Xu Chengdong severely, forcing him to hand over the list of surrendered spies, and revealed the emotional secret that Xu Chengdong and Ge Yinhong had deliberately hidden from the fragile He Zhiyuan. During this time, several spies who had surrendered were continuously killed, and a spy leader codenamed “Seven Fairies” appeared and disappeared, manipulating the destructive actions of spies in Dan City. Days later, the badly injured Xu Chengdong and He Zhiyuan were discovered in the mountains and forests. He Zhiyuan ultimately succumbed to her injuries and before dying, left a message, stating that after her death, Xu Chengdong must not be allowed to send her off. He Zhiyuan’s final actions puzzled everyone; Xu Chengdong was suspected of being the traitor who sold information and was removed from the reconnaissance department. Qian Mingtao took over Xu Chengdong’s position to continue the investigation of the spies, and a series of events caused Ge Yinhong’s trust in Xu Chengdong to waver. During the investigation, Qian Mingtao encountered Luo Chunyi, who seemed simple but was actually hiding her identity as a spy. They both had their own motives, but gradually developed feelings for each other. Luo Chunyi's mother, Ye Shuzhen, had lost a daughter years ago and feared that Qian Mingtao’s close contact would endanger Chunyi, obstructing them in every way. Ge Yinhong used her rich reconnaissance experience to successfully intercept the radio waves sent by the spies, and to her surprise, her long-lost mother and sister emerged from the room that concealed the spies’ secret radio station. ... In order to clear his name and uncover the spies hidden within the public security system, Xu Chengdong, against significant external pressure, secretly investigated all suspicious leads. The desperate “Seven Fairies” issued a secret order to carry out a major destructive operation in Dan City before the founding ceremony, and the hidden spies accelerated their destructive actions. How will Xu Chengdong clear his name? Who exactly is the deeply hidden spy “Seven Fairies”? Will the enemy's destructive actions succeed? A series of confusing events plunged the struggle between the enemy and us into a dense fog...
