String Player: I’m Not an Apocalyptic Calamity

Betrayed by his mentor and reduced to a city laborer tightening screws, the former physics prodigy Xuan Nian refuses to give up. He throws himself into the game, aligns twin suns, and steals half a victory from fate, carrying his searing hatred for the String Pullers, who seek to destroy the world, as he plunges without hesitation into the River of Forgetfulness. Seven bowls of Granny Meng's soup cannot wash away his obsession. Instead, he awakens a soul of reverse entropy, earns the favor of the cosmic data sea's will, "Bean God," and claims Granny Meng as his ancestor, gaining an overwhelming share of fortune. The ninth-dimensional observers finally deliver their verdict: "Xuan Nian's madness comes from the power to protect, and his schemes begin with the desire to protect."

The instant he enters the cycle of reincarnation, he takes one last look at the River of Forgetfulness and seems to glimpse the blue planet behind him, where peace reigns for now.

Icefire, a planet in the Proxima Centauri system, will be the new battlefield, and more than that, the outpost guarding humanity's home.

Reborn into the desperate wasteland of Icefire, he is forced to share a body with Jin, a dying planetary ruler. In his left hand lies the survival of silicon-based civilization; in his right, the continuation of human civilization. Flames that could consume the heavens blaze in his mismatched eyes. As the threat of world destruction and observation from higher dimensions descend at once, Xuan Nian takes up the mantle of power. Join him in witnessing the tumultuous legend of Icefire in the Proxima Centauri system, and you'll discover that this tale is full of schemes within schemes and thrilling twists.

The String Pullers weaves an epic symphony of sci-fi apocalypse and mythic fantasy, bringing hard science fiction's dual-core, dual-consciousness stream of thought into collision with the final echoes of civilizations fighting for survival. Beneath its grand, masterful structure, hatred and hope coexist, silicon-based and carbon-based life resonate, and a cosmic anthem rises for those who dare to resist.
