Linguist Shen Du received a special mission: to communicate with the alien captive numbered T-7.
The Terra star known as "Far Dust" is the last survivor - his home planet has turned into stardust, and he himself was captured by humans in the interstellar drift. In everyone's eyes, he is a specimen that needs to be studied and dissected. But Shen Du gave him a name.
In the white room, two people who had lost their place began a long conversation. From silence to speaking, from name to hometown, from eye contact to fingertip touch. Shen Du taught Yuan Chen the warmth of human beings, and Yuan Chen allowed Shen Du to see the loneliness of the universe.
But human beings' fear of aliens has never changed.
When the rules of the laboratory are broken by feelings, and when research becomes protection, Shen Du must make a choice: follow the human order, or protect a life that she increasingly wants to call a "sample"?
This is a story about crossing people and crossing oneself. About how two lonely stars found a new gravitational pull on each other.
Purpose: Taking the collision between aliens and humans as a guide, explore the game between prejudice and protection, order and emotion, and write about the two-way redemption and self-growth of lonely souls.
