The country of Fusang is the predominant country on the globe. But there is a dark shadow presiding over it. Behind the scenes of the social order is the cybernetic Temple of the Jade Archon, a power structure that has manipulated the flow of society for longer than anyone can remember. Those who try to resist them have been at a standstill for hundreds of years... until now. Lan Mei was once a dutiful daughter before realizing the fundamental brokenness of her family. But she realized that this problem was not just with them. It extended far beyond her, with roots deep into the social order itself. And although she has been on her own for some time, the claws of both her family and the society run deep.
