Like any ordinary high school student, Zhou Yufeng had a few close friends and lived a quiet, unremarkable life, neither especially good nor especially bad.
Then one day, her roommate's death shattered that balance.
At last, Zhou Yufeng was forced to face the feud between her parents and her father's "promotion plan," which used her and her mother as stepping stones. She also had to outwit and outmaneuver a shadowy organ-trafficking organization...
She witnessed the terror and cruelty of human nature, and came to cherish even more the precious love and affection in her life. Through a long yet fleeting stretch of upheaval and madness, Zhou Yufeng learned the truth behind the survival and development of human civilization.
"If the sky won't brighten, then live in the dark. If making a sound is dangerous, then stay silent. If you know you cannot shine, then you need not light the way for others.

We may be as humble as dust, but we must not be twisted like maggots."
