Synopsis
"Who will be the one to bury mankind, Orwell or Huxley? No need to give your answer so quick. Let's read a story first.When Lu Bixing, a hipster from the Eighth Galaxy, fell in love with a gangster called B4, he didn't know that his darling muffin was Commodore Lin Jingheng, the commander of Silver Fortress. As they knew each other further, the world changed dramatically: Interstellar pirates invaded the Interstellar Union. The nasty secrets about Eden emerged in front of them. Lu's pedigree was found to be unbelievably mysterious.
But all they wanted was each other, no matter how peculiar the world was around them.In a sentence, it's a story about conspiracies and murders, gentlemen and villains, love and hatred.
Coming back to the question, the answer is: "Humans are born from belief, die of belief, and reborn from the ashes of belief." "

Can Ci Pin is a compilation of all the themes she used in her past works (you can read more about this here).It might sound like people are forcing me to say this but I swear this book is just so good... I never put this much effort into a novel as much as for C2P. Please love LuLin and join our beautiful galaxy🌌Fans have decided to call it C2P instead of CCP to separate it from the Chinese Communist Party for pretty obvious reasonsThanks to Cha for helping me make this carrd ♥The pics used are all from official art.
