In the year 2048 AD, civilization on earth has entered a countdown.
Botanist Su Zhenyue, as the last inheritor of the "Chinese Civilization Seed Project", boarded the interstellar ark "Kunlun". Her mission is simple: protect the five thousand endangered plants in the biodome during a 150-year voyage until humans reach their new home.
However, a strange space jump failure caused the Kunlun to crash on a frontier planet forgotten by the universe.
There are no rescue signals, no survival resources, only the eternal twilight and ancient ruins whispering in the ruins. The survivors fell into despair and scrambled for the limited supplies in the starship wreckage.
Until Su Zhenyue opened the freezer marked "China-0001"——
What is sealed inside is not plant seeds, but twelve ancient scrolls made of biological materials. What is recorded in the scroll is not only the core wisdom of Chinese civilization, but also points to a secret of life experience that even she herself does not know: her bloodline is inextricably linked to the disappeared civilization on this planet.
When the greenhouse flowers of the past must become pioneers in the ruins; when weak botanical knowledge becomes the last fire for the reconstruction of civilization; when a person wants to represent a civilization and talk to the stars——
She will use the oldest land wisdom to sow a new era in the interstellar ruins.
"They called me 'the sower,' 'the mother of civilization,' 'the gardener under the stars.'"
"But I know who I am—"
"I am just a person who refuses to let any seed lose its spring."
Purpose: "This is a story about how human beings learn humility among the stars, regain gentleness in the ruins, and complete the rite of passage to civilized adulthood on the way home."
