In the year 2050, the high-altitude metropolis of Lingxiao City seems to have left the world’s troubles behind, with humanity setting its sights on Mars. But among the belongings left behind after her mother’s mysterious death, eighteen-year-old Lin Guang discovers a blurry recording: a surface world, completely forgotten, where enormous unnatural shadows appear to swim in the distance. The “geological disaster” announced by the authorities may be nothing more than a lie concealing the truth.
To uncover the truth behind her mother’s death, she reaches out on her own to Ying, a mysterious “stalker” operating on the surface. As she descends through layer after layer, Lin Guang encounters a reality kept under lock and key, corrupt truths, and twisted secret experiments. And the “giant shadows” her mother studied may not have come from Earth at all...
Between the frozen heights and the decaying surface, between manufactured order and biological terror, a fragile yet genuine bond quietly takes root. Lin Guang must decide whether to remain a well-behaved girl in a utopia, or become a glimmer of light that tears through its false skies.
When the abyss gazes at you, can you also see a glimmer of light in the darkness?
