In a City with Few Men, Women Line Up to Fight Over Me

The day he got laid off, Li Mo drank four cans of beer. When he opened his eyes, he had landed in the year 2178.

In this world, women outnumbered men, making men a scarce resource.

He had only just woken up when he found the doorway packed with women holding signs: 80 million, three houses, company shares, and we’ll put the company under your name.

A supervisor from the Male Protection Bureau handed him a 300-page handbook: outings limited to two hours, no more than six teeth showing when you smile, and the number of spouses you can have depends on your contribution points.

The CEO of Sky Dome Tech offered him an annual salary of two million: private office, private bathroom, A+ grade meals. All he had to do was sign.

Li Mo skimmed the contract and spotted a line of tiny print: "Party A may make reasonable modifications to Party B's appearance."

He closed the contract. "I may be a scarce resource, but first and foremost, I'm my own person."
