Surviving in the low-tier districts isn't easy, but it is for Fu Yejin.
Whether making a flashy getaway during a street-gang brawl, freely "dodging" through an aerial route, or escaping disaster after disaster by the skin of her teeth, she makes it all look easy. Her friends often marvel at how tough she is, joking that she has 999 lives.
Only Fu Yejin knows it's because she has a "gift."
In 2278, gene-editing technology made a quantum leap forward, and human society entered the post-genetic era. Seventy percent of the world's population underwent genetic modification.
At the same time, crimes related to genetic modification skyrocketed. Misuse of activators, consciousness theft, illegal genetic modification, and other crimes constantly plagued this rapidly developing world.
Genetic modification expanded the boundaries of humanity, but also fed people's desires.
The government hastily established the Biochemical Security Bureau to handle the black-market crimes spawned by these developments.
Fu Yejin resolutely joined the Zhilian Institute of Bioengineering and became an honored trainee gene hunter.
She wanted to make use of her "gift."
During her internship, Fu Yejin was assigned to a biological law-enforcement investigation team. She went to the front lines with her seniors and peers to capture genetic criminals, until she encountered someone unexpected: a sick, deranged, and sinister boy with a strand of naturally white hair in his jet-black hair, just like hers.
The boy tore off his liquid-metal handcuffs and gave her a beaming smile.
"Big sis, come with me, or I'll destroy the world. Pick one."
His voice was light, yet sent a chill straight to the soul.
Fu Yejin was astonished.
"Yu Chen... you're still alive."

Reading guide:
1. Faux siblings and a live-in arrangement. They have no intimate scenes before either of them comes of age.
2. The female lead is not a virgin, the male lead is. They are four years apart. The second male lead becomes the main love interest. The female lead has a bit of a harem-protagonist vibe. When the male lead falls for her, she has an on-again, off-again ex-boyfriend, as well as a few other men with unrequited feelings for her. It's a chaotic mix of my personal tastes, so please be aware!
3. The plot-to-romance ratio is about 7:3. It has a somewhat action-packed, ensemble anime vibe. There's romance, but this isn't a story focused purely on romantic tension. If you only want a harem-style Mary Sue story, feel free to move along.
4. The female lead has a growth arc early on. She isn't invincible from the start. After she grows, she becomes decisive and ruthless. This is my take on a strong female lead, so please don't start arguments about it.
5. My take on cyberpunk and biopunk, with mountains of original worldbuilding. Please don't treat this as hard science fiction. The information in it comes from public online sources or classic science fiction works and is for entertainment only, so please don't take it too seriously!
