By the time he met Lin Shu, Xia Ye had lived alone on Paradox Star for three hundred million years.
He was a humanoid life-form accidentally created by dark matter. He was stunningly beautiful, yet wrapped in the ugliest of shells.
On Paradox Star, light came from underground and darkness from the sky. Every living thing lived and died with the waxing and waning of the light below. Xia Ye alone was the exception.
Before long, a human military force that had come to collect biological samples on the planet discovered Xia Ye's strange nature. The force's lieutenant colonel took him for a monster and hunted him down.
Colonel Lin Shu saved him, but took him back to the human base for scientific study.

Xia Ye couldn't understand human language. All he knew was that people of all kinds came by every day to point and talk about him.
The colonel who had brought him there brought him his favorite food every day and sometimes spoke to him.
Over time, Xia Ye learned a little human language and discovered that the colonel was called Lin Shu.
Xia Ye committed this human to memory.
After so long alone, Xia Ye gradually grew accustomed to being around humans and wanted to stay at the base.
But the base's scientists had just confirmed the nature of his life-form. To study him more deeply, they decided to saw open Xia Ye's shell and extract his true body while Lin Shu, who forbade violent research, was away.
Xia Ye had tried many times to shed that shell, but had never managed it.
If humans could saw it open for him, that would be even better. But he might die in the process.
*
The attempt to saw open his shell failed. Reluctantly, Xia Ye was sent back to the forest by Lin Shu, where he lived alone as before, wrapped in that ugly shell.
Until one day, Xia Ye saved a group of humans being attacked by native creatures. One of them turned out to be the colonel who had taught him human language.
After a long separation, their eyes met.
At that very glance, Xia Ye's brow suddenly began to crack.
Then a strange pink flower burst into bloom on Xia Ye's chest, its fragrance spreading across the entire planet in an instant.
Had he finally shed his shell?!
From the nature of his life-form, Xia Ye knew that he would bloom twice in his life:
Once, a pink flower blossomed when his heart was moved.
Once, a white flower would bloom fiercely at his death.
When he looked into the eyes of the one who moved his heart and the other person felt the same, a pink flower would blossom. So the colonel felt the same about him...
Xia Ye stood before the colonel, completely exposed. "You have to take responsibility."
The colonel: "...I didn't touch you."
One glance, and a civilization was passed on.
