The Seventh Kind of Mourning

Under the dazzling appearance of the Interstellar Federation, the rotten foundation is quietly spreading. Chen Danggui, a fugitive with a broken memory and a body made of machines and unknown technology, struggled to survive in the darkest corner of the Federation with half a bronze fragment engraved with a mysterious spiral mark. This fragment is not only the source of energy that sustains his life, but also a disaster that invites endless hunting. When he was forced to sneak into the legendary space city "Liu Li Jing" that would never fall, the gears of fate began to turn crazily. Here, the gene-edited aristocrats control the power, the wealthy people whose consciousness has been uploaded desire eternal life, and the ancient relics called "star skeletons" hide the ultimate secrets of life forms. From the dirty low-rise neighborhoods to the luxurious palaces above the clouds, from the dangerous interstellar channels to the forbidden ruins of a lost civilization, Chen Angelica was forced to be involved in a huge whirlpool that swept the entire federation. On the road to searching for his own origin and meaning of existence, he must face an ultimate question that runs through the world: When the body can be replaced, the memory can be tampered with, and the soul can be digitized, what exactly is a "person"? This is an interstellar epic about betrayal and protection, fall and redemption. A broken soul will influence the future of the entire civilization.
