Description

When New York professor Rachel Chu accompanies her boyfriend, Nick Young, to Singapore for his best friend's wedding, she expects a typical family visit. Instead, she's thrust into the opulent and insular world of the ultra-wealthy elite, discovering that Nick's family is not just rich, but among the most powerful and scandalous in Asia. Navigating a labyrinth of ancient traditions, fierce rivalries, and breathtaking extravagance, Rachel must confront the immense pressure from Nick's formidable mother and the societal expectations that threaten to tear them apart. This glittering novel explores themes of love, family, cultural identity, and the true meaning of wealth.
