Interstellar Expedition: The Light Chaser's Candy Jar

This novel tells the story of Chen Xi, an interstellar scavenger, and Li Wei, a former mercenary. While hunting down the mysterious organization known as the "Forgotten," they are unexpectedly caught up in a conspiracy spanning multiple star systems. Chen Xi's true identity is the heir to the starship Chaser of Light, and he holds a bronze mask capable of awakening the colossal starbone beasts. Li Wei seems carefree and irreverent, but in truth he is the last line of defense protecting Candy Star. From wary testing to entrusting each other with their lives, the pair uncover the secret behind the survival of cosmic civilization amid the clash of machinery and flesh.

From the flashing blades of the Rust-Iron Market to the insect horde's hellscape on Eroded-Bone Star, they fight the dark forces led by the Forgotten with half a piece of bitter candy and a candy knife. Chen Xi's heart-guard scales can withstand energy impacts, while Li Wei's candy-wrapper pulse rifle conceals deadly sweet bullets. Meanwhile, the mysterious Rust-Iron City Lord and the missing A Shang have laid an even more complicated game across the star charts.

When the Chaser of Light's iron wings tear through the nebulae and bitter candy blooms with a sweet scent amid the explosions, they finally understand: redemption is nothing more than boiling the bitterest memories down into candy and forging the most painful wounds into armor. The ultimate answer to the universe may be hidden in that bronze mask dusted with candy crumbs. Only courage with a hint of sweetness can stand against all darkness.
