In a world overrun by killer plants and poisoned soil, humanity is barely holding on. Enter Xu Jianyu, a guilt-ridden ex-agricultural scientist who just wants to mind his business in the apocalypse. But when a sassy, morally questionable system called Eden's Core shoves a glowing seed in his hands and says, “Congrats, you’re the chosen farmer now!”—his quiet days are officially over.

The quest? Grow magical crops, heal the land, and save humanity from total annihilation. No pressure, right? Oh, and there’s a catch: fail the system's tasks, and it’ll slap him with killer migraines, nausea, or worse. Yikes.

Enter Liu Zhenfeng, a hot, grumpy ex-mercenary with a deadly rep and zero patience for soft-spoken plant nerds. He’s got one job: keep Xu Jianyu alive long enough to grow his fancy farm and not die. Easy...

As the Black Bloom monsters get smarter and the Queen Bloom closes in, Xu Jianyu and Liu Zhenfeng find themselves fighting side by side. But when Eden drops its ultimate plot twist—things get way more complicated than “water your crops and don’t die.”

Jianyu adjusted the strap of his satchel, his mind buzzing with thoughts. Beside him, Zhenfeng walked with his usual casual air, though Jianyu noticed the faint tension in his movements.

"You fight like someone who's been through hell," Jianyu said, breaking the quiet.

Zhenfeng glanced at him, his lips twitching in amusement. "Well, you don't survive long in a world full of black bloom without learning how to handle yourself."

"Is that how you survive all of these years?" Jianyu asked.

Zhenfeng didn't really answer his question, he just hummed to it.

Jianyu, feeling uncomfortable with the silence, asked again, "You've been so nice to me despite of all your sarcastic jokes. Is there something that you want from me?"

Zhenfeng paused for a moment, his gaze drifting ahead to the narrowing path. "Not entirely. I just think you might be able to pull this off."
