About This Novel
Shen Zhiyi looked at his hardened left hand and suddenly felt-- It is better to become a monster than to starve to death like a ghost in this man-eating city. Even if this hand no longer obeys the command. In this city where "you become stupid if you take medicine, and you become a monster if you don't take medicine", I chose to fold myself into a paper airplane and smash this cannibal cage. Nancheng is a huge mental hospital. Every day at twelve o'clock at midnight, an air raid siren-like broadcast will sound on time, urging citizens to receive "Jingxin Pills". Eat it and you will become an obedient sheep and forget who you once were; If you don't eat it, you'll suffer from "paper disease," where your body will harden, fade, and eventually crumble like damp paper. Shen Zhiyi is a useless veterinarian and a "gangster". In order to survive, she not only had to avoid the weekly medicine distribution day, but also endured the increasingly serious "paper turning" of her left hand day by day. Until late one night, in the pet hospital where she was on duty, the Persian cat that was supposed to be dead suddenly sent out a distress signal. And her mother, who had disappeared long ago, seemed to have left the last clue in Cihang Sanatorium, a forbidden area in the city. In order to find the truth, Shen Zhiyi was forced to join forces with Lin Mo, a mysterious engineer in a wheelchair, and broke into the terrifying place where living people can be turned into eternal specimens. She discovered that the so-called "paper disease" may not be a curse, but a spark of resistance. And her left hand, which is becoming more and more unruly, also hides the secret that subverts the entire Nancheng. Now, it's her turn to pick up the scissors. Either repair Nancheng, or
