Long Ballad of the Ember Night: Mending Hearts at the End of Time

In 2146, humanity enters the “Age of Omniscience.” Brains connect to the cloud, and “emotions” are considered inefficient, redundant code that can be precisely regulated or even deleted. The world is perfect and efficient, yet as lifeless as ice.

The protagonist, Shen Li, is an “emotional repairer” forgotten in the old era. He unexpectedly awakens an ability called “Tracing Light,” which lets him see the “emotional fragments” suppressed or deleted from the depths of people's hearts.

To find his missing younger sister, and to rediscover what it means to be “alive” in a world without tears, Shen Li embarks on a journey against the current. He starts in the neon shadows of the slums, crosses the false splendor of the sky cities, and ventures deep into the logical abyss of the virtual network.

This is more than an adventure to save the world. It is an ultimate inquiry into the essence of human nature.

Three thousand chapters, three thousand stories. Every story is a journey from heartbreak to healing, and every twist overturns the definition of what is “right.”

Here, pain is real, love comes at a price, and hope is often born from the deepest despair.
