(Sci-fi apocalypse) + (sweet romance) + (sci-fi farming) + (not a mindless power fantasy)
After the Third World War, the surface became a wasteland, and humanity huddled in underground bases, struggling to survive.
Two waves of pioneers ventured into the sea of stars, but all they sent back was one desperate warning:
“Do not search!”
Lu Xun, a former astronaut with the Expedition Bureau, sets out with the third wave of pathfinders, his thoughts filled with concern for his children.
Shen Fang Zhiyao, an astrophysicist traveling with him, has only one goal: finding the lover she lost contact with years ago.
The crew learn to work together, struggle, and make sacrifices in deep space. In the end, only two remain, setting off separately.
When Lu Xun reaches the pioneers’ coordinates, he discovers that the warning did not come from aliens.
It was humanity’s most desperate warning about the darkness of the universe.
The pioneers have long since become watchers of the cosmos, and he will become humanity’s last line of defense.
