Yan Suizhi, the young and accomplished dean of the interstellar Maze University's law school, wakes up in a body that has been gene-modified to resemble that of a twenty-something-year-old. He had supposedly 'died' in a premeditated explosion a few months ago but someone had managed to save him. In his search for his saviour as well as his murderer, Yan Suizhi encounters his former student, Gu Yan, who is now a successful lawyer at Southcross Law Firm.
