On a mysterious planet live two very different kinds of aliens. One is called the Gods, a race of permanent-magnet beings in which male and female coexist in one body. The other is called the Tiaozui Beasts, an advanced lifeform that evolved from primitive animals. The novel tells of two generations of alien youths who, guided by two different philosophies, pursue their ideals and reach very different outcomes. It also recounts the fierce struggle between the two alien races for control of the planet. In the end, peace vanquishes war, unity triumphs over division, and the Gods and Tiaozui Beasts reach a reconciliation. Yileyuan sets off on a journey back to Mercury.
