Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. What if the key to your dream career was also the key to your own destruction?For Tang Zhengran, a brilliant but overlooked Chinese postdoctoral scholar, a one-year visiting position at the prestigious, fog-shrouded Mistbridge University is a golden ticket. Desperate to prove his worth, he brings with him a dangerous secret: a high-resolution, classified dataset from China, an ace he believes will win him the respect he craves. In the ancient, intimidating halls of academia, he finds himself drawn to Lin Yao, an enigmatic fellow researcher with striking white hair and an intellect as sharp and cold as the winter air.But in a city of perpetual gray, nothing is as it seems. A case of mistaken identity with a fiery, red-haired musician who looks exactly like Lin Yao leads to a passionate, public confession of love aimed at the wrong woman. This romantic blunder, however, is the least of his worries. His secret dataset is exposed, and he is dragged into a ruthless geopolitical game. Framed as a double agent-a traitor in his homeland and a terrorist collaborator in the UK-Tang Zhengran's life is systematically dismantled by forces far beyond his control.Stripped of his name, his career, and his future, he is left with nothing but a month to build a "monument" to his shattered life before being sent home to face prison. Aided by an unlikely and fractured alliance with the two mysterious sisters-one who offers him a chance at redemption, the other who offers him a reason to fight-he must discover what remains when everything is taken away.A gripping blend of a campus novel, a geopolitical thriller, and a profound exploration of identity and sacrifice, MistyCity is a story about finding your own truth in a world of lies. Perfect for readers who enjoy intelligent, character-driven fiction that delves into the human cost of global politics and the surprising places we find the freedom to be ourselves.
