Ning wants one thing: the freedom to choose her own lifeHao Yu believes protection means obedience - even if it requires violence. Kai believes control is the only path to survival, no matter who gets caught in the system.

And every decision leaves scars that cannot be undone. In this dystopian psychological novel, where morally gray characters navigate an oppressive government and constant surveillance, one question lingers: What does it truly mean to be free?
