The citizens of Lutèce are a delightful bunch.
Humorous, discerning and impassioned about art and aesthetics, and filled with zeal for freedom to the point of slight impropriety.
Despite being citizens of the largest and busiest metropolis globally, they are guilty of the specifical capricious nature of metropolitans. They are chatterboxes, avidly talking about major political events, famous figures' scandals, and online comments, which altogether serve as fodder for the town's gossip mill.
Anytime and anywhere, when there are more than two Lutecians present, gossip ensues.
Li Lin's intriguing character makes him the topic of breakfast for a group of men at the sidewalk café that kick-starts their day. Wealthy, influential, perennially single, and surrounded by mysterious rumors, his seven-year stint in reforming Lutèce has earned him an endless stream of jealousy and disdain.
