"I was swimming around in the mud and couldn't find an outlet for life."
Freelance translator Qu Xucang lives by words and cigarettes. One summer night, when he was collecting materials on the "Dead Road" on the edge of the city, he met Jing Ouyu, a lost senior high school art student - frivolous, beautiful, and with a bad personality.
A sketchbook deliberately left behind, a box of sweet drinks waiting to expire, a trial that started by borrowing fire.
Yu numbered him as "Specimen 07" in the album, while Qu Xucang silently acquiesced to this dangerous observation.
But there are deeper shadows hidden in Yu - the over-protection of his twin brother Tang, the unhealed soul trauma caused by his studio teacher, and his restless soul that suppressed by self-destruction.
Qu Xucang's past is equally mottled.
"Uncle Third," Yu smiled, her tiger teeth touching her lower lip, "Should adults seduce high school students?"
