Ryu Seon-ho repairs old paperwork in a port city on Korea's southern coast and tests as having no talent whatsoever. What the inspectors cannot see is that his inner page is blank, and a blank page can be written on. Every line costs him a night of sleep, and the moment anyone reads what he is, it can never be changed. With a hospital bill, a mother who will not wake and a shipping sect that wants him gone, he has to forge his way upward in secret.

Honesty versus useful liesWorth measured by other people's testsChosen familyWho gets to write the rulesThe cost of secrecy
