No. 228 Longhu Road, Hezhou District. Take a flyer to the nearest station of the Special Administration Department, and the commute is about thirty minutes. Pretty close.
Getting a place in the city center, where every inch of land is worth a fortune, must be a perk of being an excellent officer. After two hard years working in Longzhou, I've been transferred to Jiangcheng, a major city. You could call it a promotion, right?
You Jingyun stepped off her flyer, pleased as could be, and looked toward a two-story, self-built house beside the towering skyscrapers.
No, this was more like a condemned building from the olden days, practically a cultural relic. The words "Azure Bookshop" were even spray-painted crookedly in red across the door!
"Huh?"
After a brief silence, she called the official who had arranged her housing.
"Director Yang, this can't be right!"
"Well... you see..."
"Ding-a-ling!"
Summer solstice in Jiangcheng. A long wind suddenly rose, and the eaves bells beneath the upturned corners of the ancient-style towers rang clear, drowning out the dull prologue. It was the year 345 of the New Calendar. The Eastern Union had entered the psionic age, and a brand-new era lay just ahead. Perhaps everything had a bright future, sparkling like the stars. Or perhaps it was only the shards of wretched old-world plastic rubbish reflecting the harsh sunlight.
Who cares? The curtain was already rising. At last, an interesting story was about to begin.
Important notes!
[1. The main story begins in Year 350 of the New Calendar. This is a story with a broad ensemble cast and a plot-focused narrative. The female lead's romance comes later.
2. The author is a newbie and updates very slowly.
3. The world is vast, with lots of lore and a slow-burning, long-form story.
4. The author unconditionally adores all kinds of female characters in the story, and considers women in power as ordinary as breathing or drinking water, nothing that needs special emphasis.]
Anyway, hope you enjoy reading!
