In the age of interstellar navigation, human footprints spread all over the galaxy. Giant starships are the cradle of civilization, and jump engines are the cornerstone of it all.
Ling Feng, a talented jump engine engineer, can "hear" the harmonious music produced by the cosmic strings when the engine is running. This rare gift of synesthesia has made him the top expert in the industry and also made him the focus of conspiracy.
When his starship Voyager 4 suffered a catastrophic accident during a jump, official records attributed everything to an accident. As the only survivor, Ling Feng was abandoned in the unknown ruins of the galaxy. Accompanying him are broken memories and a dead engine.
In the process of repairing the wreckage of the spacecraft, he gradually discovered that the so-called "accident" was a deliberate murder, and behind it was a secret hidden beyond human imagination - a truth about the nature of cosmic jumps, a secret that could subvert the entire civilization. His journey is no longer about survival, but about piecing together the full picture of the conspiracy and uncovering the shocking answers that lie "beyond the jump" covered by lies and blood.
