Summary

《War of Faith》is a 2024 Chinese Drama first broadcast on CCTV8 with a simultaneous streaming release on iQIYI. It premiered on both carriers on March 21st, with the final episodes airing April 7th on iQIYI and April 8th on CCTV8.

In 1930s Shanghai, Wei Ruolai, an employee at the Kuomintang controlled Central Bank of China, rises through the ranks due to his exceptional abilities and the support and guidance of senior advisor Shen Tunan. However, as he confronts the political compromises and corruption undermining the Central Bank's efforts, his path diverges from Shen Tunan's. Meanwhile, Tunan's beloved sister Shen Jinzhen is leading a triple life as fashionable socialite, chief engineer at the government munitions factory, and skilled assassin for the communist underground.
