At eighteen, the Empire's medical prodigy Jian Linyuan got involved with someone he shouldn't have, all to save his younger brother, who was suffering from a genetic disease with no cure.
Lu Xianzhou, head of the Xianzhou financial conglomerate, never showed his face and never responded to anyone.
After months of hitting dead ends, Jian Linyuan accidentally found a sealed genetic file: an anonymous donor had lived for over half a century, yet their age was exactly the same. The next second, the lab was remotely locked down. "Stop the search."
He smiled, bypassed eleven layers of firewalls, and sent a message to the man's terminal: Finally decided to answer me. Talk to me, or I'll make this data public.
The man who had lived for a very long time pressed the external communications button for the first time.
"How many lives do you have to spare?"
"As long as my brother can live, you decide how many lives that costs."
"Then come here."
The moment he saw Lu Xianzhou, his heart began to race. Was it the excitement of encountering a top-tier experimental subject, or had he fallen in love from the very beginning?
