Introduction to the novel
The earth is not the exclusive home of mankind, but a "pasture" that matures once in a thousand years in the eyes of advanced civilizations. The strange whispers and strange phenomena quietly growing in the city are the harbingers of the harvest.
Ling Xiao, an introverted high school student, was troubled by his extreme sensitivity to emotions until the appearance of the cold transfer student Su Mu dragged him into the cruel truth: human emotions are crops, and alien reapers named "Observers" are performing periodic cleanups with an elegant and indifferent attitude. In the cycle of despair, countless civilizations have risen up to resist, but they have all been annihilated.
However, Ling Xiao and Su Mu, together with the technical genius Leo and the mysterious scholar Lin Wei, discovered the enemy's only weakness - the most primitive emotional power that the Reapers had long forgotten. They risked everything and formulated a crazy plan called the "Emotional Matrix", trying to guide the hope, anger and courage of mankind around the world into a torrent that attacks the stars.
Victory brings an invitation to the interstellar alliance and a leap in civilization, but peace is not eternal. A generation later, a new threat approaches from deep space. The young successors must bear the will and sacrifice of their predecessors and fight for survival and future in a wider star sea.
This is an interstellar epic about emotion as power, about mortals versus gods, about the birth of hope out of despair, and about the continuous growth of civilization through inheritance.
