I, Ming Che, was born into the most special family in the world.
There is no husband, no father, and no "mother" in the traditional sense. There are only grandmother Shen Qingyuan, mother Ming Huaijin, and countless "sisters" who they have found from corners of the world and given new lives.
Our first family rule is engraved at the entrance of Amber Villa: never marry and have children, and never give birth to offspring with your own body.
Grandma is a top biologist, building high walls with patents and trusts; Mom is a cold lawyer, using terms and codes to isolate us from the outside world. They said that this is love, protection and the most complete farewell to the scars of history.
I was chosen by them in the name of "fire" and grew up among endless resources and absolute rationality. Until I touched my grandmother's silent past in the archives of "Chronicle of Scars"; until I met Lu Qingci, the girl who burned her freedom on the strings of the piano; until the "Natural Law Society" took us to court, accusing us of being against humanity and distorting family ties with money.
Standing under the scrutiny of the whole world, I played my mother's medical records of childbirth hemorrhage and my grandmother's list of 127 birth injuries.
"We are not afraid of love," I said, "we just refuse to sacrifice our health and life to fulfill a given 'vocation'."
"And our inheritance is stricter than bloodline - we only choose souls."
Now, it's my turn to take charge of the Tinder project. And the first heir I want to choose is sitting in the plaintiff's seat in the court. She is the most cherished daughter of the man who tried to destroy us.
Purpose: The core of the work is an in-depth discussion of female body sovereignty, the nature of inheritance and free choice. Through a female family that has completely stripped away the constraints of traditional marriage, childbirth and blood, it shows the new ethics and intergenerational relationships that can be built when wisdom, resources and will are combined, questioning what is a more civilized and responsible love and continuity.
