In the fictional country of Zhaohua, a large eastern country, Chu Yan, an idealist who graduated from a prestigious school, devoted himself to the grassroots with sincerity and took root in the beautiful but impoverished Yunze County. He soon discovered that a top-secret high-tech project code-named "Tiangong Project" (which combines cutting-edge bioengineering and artificial intelligence) was trying to settle in this ecologically pure land, and its potentially devastating risks were covered up by huge benefits. From the green waters and green mountains of Yunze to the power whirlpool of Linyuan City, an important economic town, to the turbulent waves of Qingchuan Province and even the central capital of Gyeonggi, Chu Yan walks side by side with his like-minded comrade-in-arms Shen Tinglan (a calm and keen disciplinary inspection general).
What they face is intricate local protectionism, radical developmentists pursuing political achievements, greedy transnational capital, and high-level "protective umbrellas" hidden behind the scenes. This is not only an ecological defense battle related to Yunze's survival, but also a grand game about the country's development path, the boundaries of scientific and technological ethics, and the nature of power. Chu Yan has worked his way up from a grassroots official. With his wisdom, tenacity and deep responsibility for the people and the land, Chu Yan has been able to get through the abyss of officialdom. With faith as a sword and truth as a shield, he vows to guard the bottom line that cannot be trampled in this fictional land and explore a truly sustainable and bright road in the torrent of the times.
