Features: Edwin is a small editor at a major publishing house specializing in motivational books. He unearthed a motivational manuscript from a pile of trash submissions, and by chance, it was published and became a huge bestseller. The book tells people how to lose weight, quit smoking; how to treat gambling addiction, alcoholism, drug addiction; how to find solace, make big money, and improve sex life. What's amazing is that everything the book describes—can be achieved. However, just as "happiness" spreads like wildfire across the world, a city built on desires collapses like dominoes. Watching as Western material civilization is about to collapse entirely, health weight-loss centers shut down, cigarettes are no longer in demand, and the vegetable vendor kidnaps Edwin. Edwin decides to go to the edge of Shamo to kill that mysterious psychological master. He must save the world from the hands of "happiness" and let suffering, disaster, and profanity return to the world.
