[A Not-So-Serious Blurb]
Lin Qiuqiu, former corporate drone, current zombie, Level One researcher in the art of lying flat in the apocalypse.
Life goals: Stay alive, collect crystal cores, raise a kid, and avoid trouble.
Until he was slacking off and scavenging at the edge of a battlefield, and the strongest human combatant grabbed him by the scruff of his neck.
The other man stared at the Tower Mark glowing hot on his chest and said coldly, "Come with me."
Lin Qiuqiu: ?
Wait, I'm a zombie and you're an esper. What business could we possibly have together?
Qi Xu: We do. Your Tower Mark is calling to mine.
Lin Qiuqiu: What is it saying?
Qi Xu: It's saying... "Stop pretending. In your last life, you lived in my sea of consciousness."
Lin Qiuqiu: ...You've got the wrong corpse.
Qi Xu: Your body is more honest than your mouth. When I touched you just now, you didn't pull away.
Lin Qiuqiu: That's because your electricity paralyzed me! You know your powers are leaking, right?!
Qi Xu: (silence) Come work with me.
Lin Qiuqiu: On what?
Qi Xu: Saving the world.
Lin Qiuqiu: Can we make money instead?
Qi Xu: Here. This is everything I own.
Lin Qiuqiu: ...When do we leave?

[The Serious Blurb]
In his previous life, Qi Xu, a mighty figure from the Upper Realm, found a pure spirit in a polluted land.
He took him into his sea of consciousness and traveled across the continent. All he wanted was to take him everywhere, across mountains and rivers.
In this life, Qi Xu is the strongest esper, and he grabs a scavenging little zombie on the battlefield of the apocalypse.
This zombie should be afraid of him, yet his body instinctively relaxes whenever Qi Xu comes close.
Lin Qiuqiu doesn't understand. His mind tells him to stay away, but his body can't help moving closer.
When the buried past resurfaces,
Qi Xu finally realizes that the person before him is more vivid than any version in his memories.
In his previous life, he gave him freedom. In this life, they walk ten thousand miles side by side once more.
✅ A powerful pair with contrasting personalities: a timid, cute corporate-slave zombie bottom × a cold on the outside, warm on the inside seme who makes terrible food (his cooking really is awful)
✅ A fated bond: a dual cultivation and interstellar setting, a love spanning three lifetimes, across two worlds, with only you
Theme: You are my only sense of safety in the apocalypse.
