Synopsis
In the interstellar age, beneath immortality, everything is as cold as an abyss.
Xia Qin, the prodigiously talented director of the Special Response Department, is an elite hunter who walks along the edge of collapsing order. She has seen all the world's evils, and her heart is frozen in an abyss. She rejects the thing called "love."
Cheng Qianhe, an elite genius from the Criminal Investigation Bureau, is arrogant, domineering, passionate, flamboyant, confident, and dazzling: the most brilliant and dangerous top-tier prey in the Eternal Starfield.
A conspiracy targeting the Special Response Department leads the Interstellar United Government to silence this pair of "most special targets" and their hapless teammates. As they teeter on the brink of death, a mysterious force forcibly tears their consciousness cores from them and projects them into a perilous low-dimensional universe.
Their consciousness is reconstructed, their identities disguised.
The amnesiac Cheng Qianhe and Lu Sun are given new identities and memories suited to the laws of the lower dimensions, as if they have been reborn.
The clear-minded Xia Qin and Shen Ziru, meanwhile, have a mysterious System branded deep within their consciousness. It issues cold, unfeeling tasks:
1. Restore order to countless collapsing worlds.
2. Resolve your personal challenge: fall in love and experience the warmth of everyday life.
Reward: the only clue to your missing mother's whereabouts.
(System message: Dear, go and try... the feeling of being loved.)
Why does the tone of this message... sound so familiar? Xia Qin suppresses her suspicions.
And so begins an intense game of push and pull between two elite hunters:
Low-dimensional trials: In a treacherous ancient world of political intrigue, he thinks he controls her fate as an emperor, only to find himself woven into an unbreakable alliance with her in the name of "symbiosis." In a dazzling modern city, he spends lavishly to clear her obstacles, unaware that every move he makes is already part of her precise economic model and psychological maneuvering.
Mid-dimensional wonders: In a cultivation world surging with spiritual energy, he thinks brute force will let him do as he pleases, only to be toyed with by her formations and talismans. On a Western fantasy continent where dragons roar, he tries to rule through strength, but becomes a mere supporting player beside her resonance with ancient magic. In a post-apocalyptic wasteland overrun by zombies, he thinks he can protect her, only to be saved by her precise management of resources and insight into human nature. Lost in a haunted old mansion haunted by vengeful spirits, he breaks down in terror as science crumbles around him, yet instinctively presses his most vulnerable throat into her palm, making her his sole light. In a neon-lit cyberpunk city, he tries to smash through a flood of data with money, only to be crushed by the code at her fingertips, becoming the most loyal "node" in her information empire.
High-dimensional endgame: Finally, in a distorted projection of interstellar fantasy, fragments of the past intertwine with the conspiracy in the present. They must face the truth of their exile...
She uses herself as bait, guiding his strength like a blade, and crowns herself in this dangerous game across dimensions.
Until their memories return and a universe-spanning conspiracy comes to light...
Xia Qin grits her teeth and confesses: "Cheng Qianhe, my original aim was actually..."
He lowers his head until their foreheads touch. Flames blaze in his golden eyes, just as intensely as before. He brushes his face against hers and says in a hoarse, certain voice, "I don't care why you started. I don't want to know what you wanted. I welcome your trap. Now that you've drawn me in, don't think you can leave me so easily..."
And the System branded deep in her soul, after the task-completion chime, seems to let out an extremely faint, satisfied murmur, almost like a sigh...
