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.”

Zhenfeng's voice was sharp, but Jianyu had already corrected his stance, dodging just in time to avoid another incoming attack. He spun, landing smoothly beside Zhenfeng, their backs nearly touching.

"What the hell are you doing?" Zhenfeng snapped, parrying a clawed strike and countering with a clean stab to the throat.

Jianyu didn't answer. He didn't have time to. Another monster lunged, and he intercepted it, his scythe a blur of motion as he cut it down.

He noticed the way Jianyu kept shifting, kept placing himself just a little too close, kept blocking attacks that weren't meant for him.

But he didn't have time to question it, either.
