This series is fictionalized based on major historical facts. The main events, such as the "Tang Shaoyi Plan", "Blue Plan", "Wang Jingwei's defection", "the assassination of Wang Jingwei in Hanoi", and "the Yunnan Army's nationwide telegraph" etc., are all verifiable. This kind of artistic fictionalization against a broad historical backdrop is a consistent style of the writer Pan Jun, which makes the work substantial and profound.
