Summary
Nan Yi wakes from a century-long cryogenic sleep to find the world turned upside down. Beastfolk now hold power, pure humans are rare, and she is the star lot at a black-market auction. Worse, the men bidding on her are the very wolf, fox, and serpent she once bought, bullied, and treated as pets. Lu Zhi purchases her for twenty million star credits, but revenge is only one thread in a conspiracy involving her formidable sister, a hidden human refuge, and the uprising that remade society. To survive, Nan Yi must navigate old grudges, dangerous affection, and a reckoning she has long deserved.
