City Without a Master A Sci-Fi Saga of Power, Forbidden Love, and Cosmic Rebellion The year is 2244. The colossal space fortress Whale Fall drifts in orbit—a city without a ruler, its legendary builder dead for 25 years. By custom, it’s now a prize for the taking, and every faction in the cosmos hungers to claim it. Except for Bai Shuang. The rebellious nurse—infamous for her needle-wielding "bedside manner"—cares nothing for power. She’d rather chase her star-crossed romance with a mysterious boy than inherit her father’s legacy. But the ageless guardian of Whale Fall, Wu Qiong, won’t let her abandon her birthright. As rivals close in and secrets unravel, who will own the last free city in the sky? — Sci-Fi × Political Thriller × Forbidden Love A battle for dominion where the stakes are the stars themselves.
