This is a long-form novel centered on genetic ethics, the protection of life, and the inheritance of civilization. The story begins with Xin Hai City's struggle against the illegal genetic organization Ark, and follows members of the Firefly organization, Lin Mo, Shen Yu, and Su Qing, as well as a group of children who were harmed by genetic editing, including Li Xuan, Guo Xiao, and An An. From exposing the dark secrets of the Kangshou Group, to protecting the wisdom of life contained in ancient sunflower seeds, to extending the Starflower Promise from Earth to Mars and beyond into the universe, the story weaves together a tacit understanding between civilizations spanning three thousand years. From ancient people living alongside sunflowers, depicted in murals on the ice plains, to modern humans communicating across time and space through a "memory network," it ultimately sends goodwill into the universe through the "Flower Messenger Plan," showing life's eternal pursuit of the light, respect for differences, and the enduring question of how to balance technology and ethics.
