In this environment full of danger and intrigue, Zhou Qiaozhen encounters other highly skilled female agent cadets and ruthless military command agents. Not only does she have to deal with the rigors and brutal pursuits of her enemies, but she also has to face suspicion and betrayal from her peers.
With wisdom and courage, Zhou Qiaozhen maintained close contact with the guerrillas, provided our army with key intelligence, and sabotaged the spy activities of the military commander many times. What's more, she touched some disheartened female agents with her sincerity and kindness, so that they finally changed their positions, chose the path of light and justice, and moved towards a new life.

In the climactic plot of "Woman's Soul", which happened in episodes 29 and 30, Zhou Qiaozhen (played by Zhang Bing) was discovered by the military commander's agents, and then she was arrested and tortured.
