About This Novel

"A Cicada Knows Summer" [Glittering Narrative × Yuan Mo] Introduction: "A Cicada Knows Summer" is an urban fantasy story about listening and healing. The protagonist Li Zhixia has a curse-like ability - he can hear the noise of the "Sea of Summer" composed of everyone's collective subconscious. This ability made him miserable until he discovered that he could tune into the ocean and channel people's negative emotions by creating specific "frequencies." However, his behavior attracted the attention of two extreme beings. On one side is Lin Shouyu, who believes in "complete silence". He is afraid of all resonances due to past trauma, and regards Li Zhixia as a source of pollution that must be eliminated; on the other side is a mysterious organization called "Taotie", who regard emotions as harvestable energy and are cultivating twisted "emotional greenhouses" in the city, brewing a devastating emotional nuclear explosion. Li Zhixia was forced to get involved. Under the guidance of his mentor, Professor Su, he grew from a sufferer to a sober "tuner." He must find his own pitch in the endless noise, grasp the balance between salvation and consumption, and finally join forces with his former enemy Lin Shouyu to face the ancient existence behind "Taotie" who is trying to weave an "eternal dream" for the world - the "Dream Builder". This is the ultimate battle between reality and illusion, connection and isolation, individual and collective.
