Su Chen, a university janitor, is suffering from genetic failure and has just seventy-two hours to live. His advisor stole his research paper, his girlfriend dumped him for a rich heir, and the whole university called him a loser.

Later, everyone was asking the same question: Who was that guy sweeping the floors?
