Mingtai is the male protagonist in the spy drama "The Pretender" and the novel "Spy on the Beach" written by Zhang Yong.

Wang Tianfeng allowed Mingtai to call Mingjing, and Mingtai successfully convinced the eldest sister that he had arrived at HKU safely. In the days that followed, Mingtai officially began agent training at the Hunan Military Academy. Gradually, he began to integrate into this inhuman life. Not long after, the accident happened again. Mingcheng and Minglou are as close as brothers, and of course they love and care for Mingtai like a younger brother.

He called the University of Hong Kong to inquire about Mingtai's current situation, and the call was transferred to the communications office of the military academy. With the prompts from Wang Tianfeng and instructor Guo Qiyun, Mingtai finally managed to get Mingcheng to dispel his suspicions about his strange words and deeds. But just after hanging up the phone, he realized something was wrong and immediately called the Academic Affairs Office of the University of Hong Kong.

Extended information:

During the Anti-Japanese War, during the establishment of the Wang Puppet regime, Mingtai, a young man from a wealthy family, was spotted by Wang Tianfeng, a senior military official, and kidnapped to a military training class on his way to the University of Hong Kong. After hard training, he became an excellent military agent. Afterwards, Mingtai and his life and death partner Yu Manli went to Shanghai to launch a series of secret activities.

In the "Smash Plan", Mingtai teamed up with Cheng Jinyun, a member of the underground party of the Communist Party of China, and successfully blew up the special train of the Wang puppet government transporting senior Japanese officials. The two developed feelings during the battle. After that, Mingtai assassinated Wang Puppet high-ranking officials and Japanese spies, repeatedly performing extraordinary feats. However, Mingtai gradually became disillusioned with the Kuomintang's measures to distribute "national wealth" in one action after another.

Cheng Jinyun developed him into a hidden underground party worker of the Chinese Communist Party. In order to win the final victory on the battlefield ahead, Mingtai and his elder brother Minglou, who had complicated identities, launched the "Knell Ringing" operation, successfully confusing the Japanese army with false intelligence and winning a turning point for the final victory of the War of Resistance.
