Can Zhou save his city without compromising who he is or destroying his own heart? And against his better judgment, Zhou finds himself falling for Daiyu, the daughter of Jin Corp’s CEO. Yet the deeper Zhou delves into this new world of excess and wealth, the more muddled his plans become. Jin Corp not only manufactures the special suits the rich rely on, but they may also be manufacturing the pollution that makes them necessary. With the help of his friends, Zhou infiltrates the lives of the wealthy in hopes of destroying the international Jin Corporation from within.
Frustrated by his city’s corruption and still grieving the loss of his mother, who died as a result of it, Zhou is determined to change things, no matter the cost. The rich wear special suits that protect them from the pollution and viruses that plague the city, while those without suffer illness and early deaths.
Summary: Jason Zhou survives in a divided society where the elite use their wealth to buy longer lives.
