Behind the Scenes is a military espionage web novel by Chang Feng, an author on Yuewen Group's platform. It runs to 946 chapters and roughly 3.07 million characters, completed on Qidian in June 2019. The story is set in the French Concession of Shanghai in late 1937: Lu Xiyan, a surgeon who has returned from studying in France, comes home for a family funeral, opens the Anping Clinic on Rue Petain, befriends the patrolman Meng Hao, and is appointed chief advisor to the French police. He maneuvers among the French Concession, the Japanese army, the Wang Jingwei puppet regime, and various other forces. A single act of rescue draws him into the confrontation between the Iron-Blood Assassination Corps and Japanese intelligence. He inherits the code name "Strategist" and, beyond his real name, carries multiple identities: "Bian Que" in the military intelligence service and "Judge" in the Chinese Communist underground. By day he practices medicine and moves in and out of the police station; by night he plans assassination operations, eliminating traitors, rescuing comrades, opening underground supply lines, and stealing strategic intelligence, waging repeated battles against agencies such as the No. 76 Special Agents Headquarters, the Special Higher Police, and the Plum Blossom Agency. Meng Fanxing, his childhood sweetheart, returns after three years missing, now a committed Communist Party member. She guides Lu Xiyan onto the path of resistance and national salvation, and the two form an intelligence team code-named "Yama," growing close in the island-like isolation of the concession. The novel avoids the time-travel and system genres; its protagonist is a native figure who undergoes an ideological transformation. With espionage as its outer shell, it offers a detailed portrayal of the hardships of people in occupied territory and the forbearance of underground operatives.
难得一部主角不靠穿越和系统取胜的谍战长篇。陆希言是留法归来的外科医生，仁心与果敢并存：一边是诊所里的手术台，一边是巡捕房与76号之间的暗战，他常因出任务受伤而借职业之便救治同伴，这种设定让“医者”与“谍者”两种身份自然咬合。作者长风的笔法偏写实、克制，各方势力智商在线，正邪之下还有内斗与立场摇摆，配角的立场层次也还原了那个时代的复杂底色。它并非一味爽快：故事困在孤岛上海，主角再能谋划，也难改战局大局，这份无力感反而让牺牲与坚持更有分量。男女主的感情也少见浓烈笔墨，更像并肩的战友，克制而得体。若你能接受前期的铺垫节奏和部分史料细节的疏漏，这本书值得作为民国谍战书单里的必读一项。
这本书是樊登的同名散文集吗？
不是。这里介绍的是长风的谍战网络小说《幕后》，2019年在起点中文网完结，约307万字。樊登的《幕后》是2023年由天津人民出版社出版的短篇故事集，两者只是书名相同，作者、题材完全不同。
《幕后》有正式出版的实体书吗？
目前可查的信息显示，该书主要作为起点中文网连载作品传播，完结于2019年6月，暂未核实到正式出版的纸质版本，因此出版社、ISBN、出版年等信息留空。
主角陆希言是穿越者吗？
不是。陆希言是本土人物，留法归来的外科医生，因父母在战火中去世回国奔丧，之后逐渐被卷入谍战。正因为他没有“先知”视角，思想上的转变过程是全书的重要线索之一。
全书篇幅和完结情况如何？
全书共946章，约307万字，2019年6月2日更新最终章，正文完结。此外还有番外内容在部分平台可见，整体属于长篇幅、慢节奏的连载型谍战小说。
书中“军师”“判官”分别指什么？
“军师”是铁血锄奸团中的核心代号，陆希言因机缘继承；他在中共地下党的代号是“判官”，在军统方面的代号是“扁鹊”，而他在军统内部又被称作“医生”。多个代号对应多重身份，是本书智斗结构的基础。
Changfeng is an author about whom little is publicly known. Our catalog currently holds only one work by this author, the history title A Brief History of the Xiongnu. Judging from the title and its common classification, the author focuses on the historical development of the Xiongnu, the ancient northern people of China, and writes for general readers rather than for a specialist academic audience. Popular history books of this kind usually feature clear narration and a concise outline, making it easier for readers to learn, within a limited space, about the rise of the Xiongnu, their activities, and their relations with the Central Plains dynasties. Because the author's real name, nationality, dates of birth and death, and educational background cannot be confirmed, it is difficult to assess the author's approach to history, the sources drawn upon, or standing in the field. On the available information, Changfeng is closer to a writer who organizes and retells history in an accessible manner, and the influence lies mainly in helping general readers engage with the subject of the Xiongnu; the specific writing style and scholarly level still await further works and materials for verification.
