After the artificial intelligence-created Blue Snow devastates Earth, pilots He Xi and Yu Lan carry humanity's last hope to separate planets. Twenty years later, He Xi finds Yu Lan on the planet Shang, but their reunion begins to crumble, forcing him to protect both their love and the future of humanity.
