The novel's protagonist, Ren Shusi, and the heroine, Mi Feng, join forces to investigate a genetically engineered creation called the "Sleeping Fire Lotus." For reasons unknown, it evolved from a diploid into a thirty-eight-ploid plant. Its medicinal properties surpass those of every herb known before, but at the same time, scientists have also created a global virus. How will Ren Shusi and Mi Feng deal with this worldwide crisis? Will they have to pay with their lives, or an even greater price?
Mi Feng's part in this is a somewhat moving story about someone who gives up the purest love of family and romance for the safety of people around the world!
