The author takes us to the heart of New York in the 1990s, where the protagonist Young Wang, an American of Chinese descent, leads a turbulent life between his studies at New York University and the fluctuations of his heart.

In a bustling city full of diverse identities and nationalities, Young seeks to understand himself through the lens of love and numbers, inspired by his eccentric uncle, Su Su, who believes that every person is destined to live through seven love experiences in their lifetime.

Young takes it upon himself to document those emotional experiences, relying on numbers and symbolic meanings until he meets Irina Yasuda, who captivates him with her beauty, spontaneity, and love for life. Yet he falls into confusion and loss, realizing that Irina is only his sixth love, prompting him to wonder: Is she my inevitable fate, or is the seventh and final love still awaiting me?

The novel weaves together the threads of the present and the past, as Young recalls past love experiences, revealing an internal conflict between choice and destiny, between rooted identity and the ability to integrate into an ever-changing society. It is a reflection on love, identity, and belonging, told against a rich backdrop of 90s nostalgia, pop culture symbols, and the mysticism of numbers in Chinese heritage.

The reader can discern the author's deep passion for music and cinema, which is clearly woven into the fabric of the novel, almost allowing the reader to feel as if they are moving through musical excerpts and cinematic scenes etched in memory.
