Also known as: How to Recruit a Little Researcher into the Organization
In a post-apocalyptic new city ruled by survival of the fittest, Xu Wenxia, an intern researcher eager to earn a permanent position, takes part in a competition to find rare plants.
But the gray-feathered primrose was destroyed by the Alliance sixteen years ago.
As the only person who has one, Yue Qiu, a squad leader in an anti-Alliance organization, initially wants nothing to do with it. But the stubborn little researcher reminds him too much of his missing parents.
A journey that begins with a lie, and a plant whose properties are unknown.
Who is really pulling the strings behind the scenes? Who is inside the game, and who is outside it?
By the end, it seems the truth is no longer what matters most...
Yue Qiu: If you could return to the past with your memories intact, would you still be willing to work for the Alliance?
Xu Wenxia: Of course. I would still choose the Alliance, choose humanity, and choose to protect life without hesitation. What about you?
Yue Qiu: After the truth comes out, you're the only choice I have.
Yue Qiu: I have never believed that people are inherently good. But my beloved does, so I'm willing to give every kind person a chance to survive.
Theme: Every life deserves to be treated with care.
