The year is 1913 in Shanghai, just after the fall of the Qing dynasty. Li Suet-foong, a sharp-tongued struggling artist ... Akecheta Lung, a notorious gun-for-hire ... Radically different in almost every way, their instant attraction to one another defies all logic and their love deepens. Amid all the chaos and lawlessness in the city besieged by warlords, Suet-foong and Akecheta begin a new life and take their uncompromising devotion to the next level with no inkling that their time together is ending ... fast. Hilarious, poignant, and filled with wonder, it is a story for those who are in love, were in love, or hope to be in love.
