Xu Qingqing, eighteen, a first-year philosophy major. She lives by just three words: Leave me alone.
She goofs off in class and plays games after school. Her only worry is the flower of the other shore slowly growing across her back: a family curse that appears at eighteen and takes her life at twenty-eight.
Ji Shuheng, forty, a regular on the Forbes list and a powerful business leader, believes in logic, data, and capital. She acts decisively and ruthlessly, and everyone in her circle feels wary at the mention of her. Her life has no accidents, no coincidences, and certainly no ghosts or gods.
That is, until a young woman named Xu Qingqing applies to be her temporary assistant...
Theme: A clash between a fated curse and absolute rationality, and learning to accept the uncontrollable through an encounter.
