Features: This novel describes how the Nationalist government secretly established the Plum Blossom Organization before its collapse in 1947, with the aim of infiltrating the Communist Party and seizing the opportunity to rise again. Party agent Long Fei once managed to encounter Bai Wei, the daughter of the leader of the Plum Blossom Organization, Bai Jingzhai, and infiltrated the Plum Blossom Organization headquarters in Nanjing's Purple Mountain, attempting to steal the Plum Blossom Map, which contained the names of the organization's members, but failed and fled. Since then, the Plum Blossom Map has vanished without a trace, and the names of the members on the map have become a long-standing mystery.
In the early 1960s, the design drawings of a nuclear submarine leaked from a port city in mainland China. A disguised female corpse appeared in Laohutan; the crematorium was plagued by ghostly disturbances: the truth was revealed when a transmitter was found in the artificial leg of the security guard. Meanwhile, in the abandoned church of another mountain city, a luxurious embroidered shoe was discovered on the floorboards, while the cleaner was found dead in front of the stairs. A guard at the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge encountered a pregnant woman in labor, only to discover that her abdomen was tied with explosives.
All these signs indicate that the Plum Blossom Organization, which had been dormant for over a decade, has begun to stir again.
