This is an urban novel about "how not to lose yourself in life."
Lin Hao spends three years making a name for himself at a design institute, only to resign and return to an ordinary life after his closest friend dies suddenly and he himself falls apart.
He slows down, drawing and living again, and finding love, piecing his broken self back together one inch at a time.
This is also a story that explores social realities such as "involution," "lying flat," resisting involution, and competition.
Through their own experiences, the characters show us how, in an era when you can't lie flat and can't win the rat race, to shape a life that suits you.
