Kevin Kwan, bestselling author of Crazy Rich Asians and China Rich Girlfriend, returns with a hilarious new novel centered on a fortune-driven family, a jealous ex-wife, and a couture-gown sabotage battle. When Nicholas Young learns that his grandmother, Su Yi, is on her deathbed, he rushes to her side, joined by the entire Shang-Young clan, all eager to claim their matriarch's vast fortune. As family members compete for Tyersall Park, Nicholas' childhood home becomes a battleground of intrigue and backbiting. Amidst the chaos, Astrid Leong grapples with her feelings for her old love, Charlie Wu, while being tormented by her vindictive ex-husband, who aims to ruin her reputation. Meanwhile, Kitty Pong, married to China's second richest man, Jack Bing, struggles with feelings of inadequacy as she feels overshadowed by her glamorous stepdaughter, Colette Bing. This sweeping narrative spans from opulent mansions in Manila to private islands in the Sulu Sea, featuring a kidnapping at an elite Hong Kong school and a surprise marriage proposal caught by paparazzi. Kwan humorously uncovers the long-buried secrets of Asia's elite and their extravagant dilemmas.
