Strange Affairs in City A

A市风云

绿野千鹤 · Lu Ye Qian He · CA

Synopsis

After three years of developing an artificial intelligence capable of writing novels, Ji Tan has finally had enough. His company’s latest masterpiece is a ridiculous romance featuring a domineering CEO, a pitiful protagonist, and an unfortunate heart donor. Before he can properly complain about the absurdity of it all, he collapses from overwork and wakes up inside the very novel his AI has written. Worse, he has become the unfortunate heart donor himself, and his supposed husband is already preparing to have his heart removed for another man.

Desperate to escape the operating room, Ji Tan unexpectedly encounters a familiar face: Xie Zhi, his infuriating former boss from the real world. Somehow, the man has become the newly appointed governor of City A. A desperate accusation, a spectacular misunderstanding, and several suspiciously supernatural interventions later, Ji Tan finds himself entangled in a scandal involving the city’s highest authority. Apparently, escaping a domineering CEO is difficult enough without accidentally becoming the governor’s rumored lover.

But City A is far stranger than the melodramatic romance Ji Tan remembers. Wealthy heirs, obsessive CEOs, and untouchable white-moonlight love interests exist alongside people who wield extraordinary abilities. Government agencies regulate supernatural powers, impossible prohibitions can alter the laws of reality, and even something as ordinary as a marriage agreement can become a terrifying legal trap. Beneath the city’s extravagant wealth and absurd social conventions lies a world whose rules Ji Tan barely understands.

Armed with his knowledge of the novel, a mysterious proposal that followed him from his previous life, and the questionable assistance of a boss who seems to know far more than he admits, Ji Tan must find a way to survive. Yet as fragments of his past begin appearing where they should not exist, the distinction between fiction and reality grows increasingly uncertain. In a city where appearances are deceptive and extraordinary power determines the rules, staying alive may require Ji Tan to play several impossible roles, from an ordinary citizen to the governor’s supposed lover, and perhaps even a god.
