This is a power fable written for contemporary urbanites.
On a rainy night, Li Xiang, a low-level employee who had all his dignity crushed by the workplace, unexpectedly received a gift called "God's Breath" - a biochemical pheromone that can absolutely control the human heart.
He used it to complete the most heartfelt revenge, making all those who had bullied him kneel down; he also used it to reach the pinnacle of worldly significance, from a social animal with nothing to a powerful person in charge of a business empire worth hundreds of billions.
Absolute power brings absolute pleasure, but also absolute destruction. When he thought he was the god who controlled people's hearts, he had already become a prisoner of the medicine.
The only sober gaze pierced the illusion, the controlled life was on the verge of withering, and the crowd suffocated by pheromones fell into collective disorder. The "god-making game" started by him finally evolved into an out-of-control biochemical disaster.
He finally understood that the opponent in this game was never others, but himself who was swallowed up by power.
True salvation is never about controlling the free will of others, but about guarding one's conscience and bottom line in the torrent of desire.
The ultimate question of the story always hangs over your head: when the power to control people's hearts is at your fingertips, will you choose to become a god or to keep people?

It's particularly exciting, it's also a kind of irony, it's a fable. There is a lot of meaning in the story.
