Getting By on Imagination Alone

Synopsis

Lin Chen, a guardian of Earth with the ability to make his wild ideas come true, starts by fending off invading plunderers and gradually leads Earth onto the interstellar stage. At an Interstellar Alliance meeting, he uses his astonishing imagination to overcome provocations from established planets, develops a spaceship in just one hour to help Earth gain a foothold, and pushes the "Proposal to Protect Less Advanced Civilizations" through unanimously. This earns Earth the privilege of "Emergency Alliance Support" and greatly raises its standing in the international community.

Between protecting Earth and the universe, Lin Chen marries Su Qingyue, his steadfast comrade-in-arms, in a wedding of the century. Using his imagination, he creates a dreamlike Starry Dream Castle, gathers friends and family from around the world through space travel, and livestreams the romantic celebration for the whole world to witness. Afterward, he uses his ultimate imagination to solve Earth's three greatest problems: eliminating pollution, making resources endlessly renewable, and completely curing disease. He transforms Earth into a "perfect planet" and ushers in a new era for humanity.

In the end, Lin Chen finds a balance between "guarding the universe" and "ordinary daily life." He occasionally travels across the cosmos to deal with alien threats, quietly becoming an "invisible shield" protecting Earth and the universe. The rest of the time, he stays by his family's side, enjoying the simple comforts of life in Jiangcheng: fried eggs, sweet-and-sour ribs, and happy moments beneath the starry sky. Thus he writes a chapter of life that is both powerful and warm.
