How to Survive After Becoming a Girl

Duanmuli is nineteen. She dropped out of school three years ago and supports her sick mother and younger sister, who is in college. She leads the local band of “heroes” in Chaoshui County. Her crew makes a living robbing other criminals, but they never prey on ordinary people. That is the line she has drawn for herself. One night, she encounters a blue slime by the fields. When she wakes up, she has become a girl. Nan Qiu is nineteen. The only son of an international tycoon, he studies at Derry Magic Academy. He has everything, but finds it all incredibly boring. More than half a year ago, he witnessed Duanmuli’s crew robbing a gang of criminals. Intrigued by her, he disguised himself as an ordinary person and joined her band of heroes. He thought it was just a brief diversion from his boring life. He had no idea he would get in so deep. This is a story about boundaries, freedom, and choices. Two people: one lives by instinct, the other by thought. One struggles through the muck of society, while the other searches for a way out of a gilded cage. The gender transformation was an accident. But their meeting was not.
