Cheng Chen is a "humanoid machine" in the financial world - he is in charge of a venture capital company at the age of thirty, but he is accompanied by insomnia and antidepressants late at night. An accidental online car-hailing order led him to meet Lin Xiaoyang, a music student.
From unfinished music on the rooftop to music creation at both ends of the jet lag, Cheng Chen regained his musical dream in Lin Xiaoyang's fiery vitality, and Lin Xiaoyang also understood the loneliness of adults in Cheng Chen's silence. However, public opinion storms, business conspiracies and family changes followed one after another - Cheng Chen's secret acquisition, Su Man's ambiguous scandal, and the demolition crisis of Lin Xiaoyang's father's bookstore, pushing the two to the cliff of trust.
When Cheng Chen was adjusting the astronomical telescope under the aurora in London, Lin Xiaoyang was roaring angry rock music in the underground bar; when Lin Xiaoyang received an olive branch from Universal Music, Cheng Chen's depression diagnosis certificate turned yellow in the drawer. They use music to fight against the absurdity of the world: a song "Eye of the Storm" tells the story of the struggle in the whirlpool of fate, and a song "The Sound Beyond the Strings" breaks through lies and suspicion.
From Beijing to London, spanning 8,000 kilometers across the line of dawn and dusk, two lonely souls learned to fold time and space amid the jet lag. Cheng Chen finally understood that it was not music that saved him, but the starlight in Lin Xiaoyang's eyes; and Lin Xiaoyang discovered that the heartbeat under Cheng Chen's suit always resonated with her guitar.
This is an urban fable about redemption and fulfillment: when capital and art meet, when depression and passion collide, they use love and music to plant their own galaxy in the steel forest.
Concept: The concept of this novel revolves around the three core themes of "collision between art and capital", "redemption and self-growth" and "crossing the distance between time, space and soul". Through the encounter and interaction between Cheng Chen and Lin Xiaoyang, the profound theme is explored
