Internet writer Zhou Qingshan traveled to New York in 1992 and became a Stanford computer science graduate who went bankrupt due to divorce and became a homeless man. In order to survive, he decided to use his past life memories to plagiarize the unpublished classic novel "No One Survived". However, due to the subject matter not conforming to the mainstream market and his poor status, he was repeatedly rejected by major publishing houses. In the end, the owner of Roland Bookstore, Sophia Roland, who was on the verge of bankruptcy, had the insight and bet all her wealth to publish this book. During this period, Zhou Qingshan also cleverly asked his ex-wife Linda to sign an agreement to waive alimony to avoid trouble in the future.
