Lin Mo, a graduate student at a top university, works himself to death at the lab bench under his advisor's relentless exploitation. When he opens his eyes again, he has returned to seven years earlier and made a choice that shocks everyone: he gives up a brilliant future and volunteers to be sent to a remote, desolate research base in the northern frontier. The place is short on resources, rife with complicated relationships, and all but forgotten by the academic world. Armed with memories of his previous life, Lin Mo stands alone on this academic frontier. Starting in a laboratory built on wasteland, he wields his foresight in scientific research to cut through layers of hypocrisy, monopoly, and suppression. Amid the blowing sand and frozen earth, he will build a research empire of his own, rise to the pinnacle of academia, and make everyone who scorned or schemed against him bow before truth and ability.
