Chasing the Light Against the Grain

When gender becomes a riddle, the truth is the only key

“Who are you, really?”

“That depends... on what day it is.”

Cui Ming, 28, a rising star in finance, lived a life as precise as an algorithm, until a strange physical transformation dragged him into the abyss.

Lu Xiao, 32, a hardline captain of a criminal investigation squad, is investigating an organ trafficking case. Every clue points to an impossible target:

a “double fugitive” who exists in both a male and a female body.

“GSS Gender Reversal Syndrome”

Only 37 cases have been recorded worldwide. Patients uncontrollably switch between the sexes.

Then Cui Ming discovers that his case number is listed on the classified roster of a multinational laboratory.

“They’re not trying to arrest you.”

“They’re here to retrieve the test subject.”

As financial corruption intertwines with genetic experiments, and senior police officials conspire with criminal syndicates,

these “archenemies,” forced to join forces, must expose a decade-spanning conspiracy to establish a “new gender order” before Cui Ming’s male identity disappears for good.

“If tomorrow I no longer remember who I am...”

“Then at least today, I’ll personally bring the people behind all this to an end.”

“This isn’t a story about gender.”

“It’s about how we prove we exist after the identities defined by society collapse.”
