When Cenye woke up, the island was hovering in the sky, trees stretched their roots into the clouds, and clocks and teeth grew on the beach. He is not trapped—he is invited. The owners of the island are a group of shape-shifting "rules" who feed on absurdity and take pleasure in challenges. Cen Ye's motivation is not to survive, but to find himself: he only remembers that he owes a puzzle, but forgets the answer. So, he talked with the talking wind, the stone that could exchange memories, and faced off with the laughing hunger. Every choice he makes makes the island become weirder, and reality and dreams repeatedly see each other. The core conflict is: if Cenye wants to survive, he must constantly give up his understanding of the world. When the last sunbird pecks the sky, Cen Ye will decide whether to leave or become part of the island. In the midst of absurdity, survival becomes a feast of self-dissolution.
