Description
At twenty-six, Linli Feng is finally building a life of her own—until her estrangement from her mother, Fanny, collapses in the wake of yet another black-market medical catastrophe. Pulled back into the wreckage of family finances and a dangerous beauty subculture, Linli must navigate the volatile bond of a mother-daughter duo who are both best friends and enemies, even as Fanny’s disfigured face becomes a ticking clock. When Fanny’s secret win on a high-stakes reality show turns their private crisis into public spectacle, Linli is forced to decide what rescue really costs—and what it means to keep loving someone who won’t stop chasing a manufactured version of “better.” Darkly humorous and sharply observant, this debut explores addiction, bodily autonomy, and the American Dream’s promise of reinvention—questioning whether “new skin” can ever heal what’s underneath.
