A washed-up elite is forced to head into space to look for work. Who would have thought that even after leaving Earth, she'd still have to make an early-morning meeting?
Twenty-seven-year-old Tong Yunkai was an engineer at a major tech company, specializing in machine instructions. But after bravely exposing workplace sexual harassment, the company’s algorithm labeled her a threat to its image, and she was fired. The labor dispute caused her job prospects in the big data rankings to keep plummeting until they hit zero. With nowhere else to turn, she could only take her AI assistant’s advice: leave Earth and look for work in space!
But the three-month work contract she’d agreed to came with the risk of never returning to Earth! The people who had arrived at the base before her had split into factions, each looking out for themselves. To seize the limited resources, they were even willing to murder their fellow humans in secret... Why had Lu Qiewei, her childhood friend whom she’d reunited with after years apart, fallen so low? Could the friend she’d gone to great lengths to save really be a spy for the base? Would she be able to return to Earth and start over?
