Yun Chi (the female lead), a genius from a poor background, had been oppressed her whole life until she snapped and decided to take revenge on the wealthy aristocrats who exploited her family and her planet. The poor were basically treated like s*aves, forced to work in deadly mining conditions for the rich. So, what does she do? She blows up those planets with the mines, wiping out the wealthy families who controlled them. More than 33 planets exploded.

To achieve her revenge, Yun Chi designed one of the best mechas ever and created groundbreaking tech to fight back. She became the galaxy's top mechanical engineer, striking fear into the corrupt elites. Her rage and inexperience didn't hold her back, and with two allies—Wei Lan, a powerful mecha fighter, and Qin Chuyue, a behind-the-scenes logistics expert—the trio became the most wanted criminals in the galaxy!

But then, disaster struck. They were captured by Fang Yanli, the strongest mecha fighter in the Alliance. For three years, Yun Chi was brutally tortured as they tried to extract her talents. Wei Lan wasn't spared either—he was tortured by his own corrupt family to force him into submission.

Eventually, Yun Chi escaped, faked her death, and took on a new identity as Ji Fu. She enrolled in the Interstellar Academy to become a pharmacist, aiming to cure her poisoned body and regain her stolen abilities. Her ultimate goal? Free her friends, destroy the corrupt Alliance, and bring justice to the oppressed.

Throughout her journey, she uncovered horrifying conspiracies, like the rich experimenting on the poor to steal their talents and injecting these stolen talents into the aristocrat children, making them more powerful. This project, called the Pig Plan, was just another way the wealthy dehumanized the oppressed, since the slaughtered poor and third rate humans were considered pigs.

The dystopia in this novel paints a grim picture of a world ruled by oppression and totalitarian control. Yun Chi and her allies fight back against this corrupt system, with a mix of action, justice, and a touch of romance.

To those who feel inspired by reading about a just world:

In one pivotal scene, medical technology—capable of saving countless lives—was tightly controlled by a powerful family. They hoarded it, holding the power of life and death over millions, refusing to share it with those in need.

The heroine, defiant and driven by justice, stole the technology and made it freely available online, breaking the aristocrats' stranglehold. Along with it, she sent a powerful message to every citizen of the Interstellar Alliance:

Fang Yanli—the arrogant, self-righteous mecha fighter from the Alliance who arrested Yun Chi (the female lead). I hated that idea! He was a total tool, thinking he was all about justice while actually being just a pawn for the rich. Ugh. (╬ಠ益ಠ)

... Wei Lan (the ally of female lead that got arrested with her) ! He's the "lost puppy" type, always gazing at the heroine with those teary eyes (ᐡ•͈ ·̭ •͈ᐡ) . He had a tragic backstory, much like Yun Chi's, and after she saved him, he never left her side. To him, she was his sun, pulling him out of the darkness. He may not have had formal training, but his raw power was unmatched, and he was fiercely loyal to her.

Wei Lan was a powerful mecha fighter but he lost to Fang Yanli and he and female lead got arrested...

But to be honest, I always felt the only reason Wei Lan ever lost to Fang Yanli, the top mecha soldier, was because he never had any formal training. Everything Wei Lan knew came from raw talent—growing up poor and oppressed meant he never had a chance to really learn how to fight.

Meanwhile, Fang Yanli was born into an aristocratic family, spoiled by his grandfather, and given the best education money could buy. He had access to the finest tools, including the most powerful mecha in the Alliance. Sure, he was talented, but he was also groomed for greatness—how could he not end up on top?

Wei Lan's story was heart-wrenching too.

Wei Lan devotion to Yun Chi, the female lead, was beautiful:

"He'd overcome anything to reach her side, never letting her face the darkness alone. He knew she was tough, but he always wanted to be there, a steady presence at her back."

And their interactions?

Beyond cute! ʕ ̳• · • ̳ʔ♡ In front of her, he was a clingy puppy, but to everyone else, he was a mad dog. One adorable scene?

Ji Fu (the female lead) opened her eyes: "If it hurts, go back and lie down. Why did you run out?"

She only heard Wei Lan (the male lead) whispering in her ear: "Hug."

He used to be very close to her, but the problem is, which good person wants to hug without clothes?

It's not a puppy.

Explanation: He's injured and naked after being treated in a treatment chamber immersed in a healing liquid, but he sneaks out in the middle of the night just to ask her for a hug. So cute! The problem was: he was still naked! I want to die! (੭ु ≧∇≦) ੭ु

Although they never actually confessed their feelings, it felt like their bond was unspoken, built through countless life-and-death situations.

Wei Lan is definitely one of my favorite male leads!

... he committed su*cide, taking down the aristocracy with him. His final words were an apology to Yun Chi, wishing her happiness.

Rationally, I think his ending was deserved, he deserves to die because he was a hypocrite, but emotionally, I couldn't help feeling sad. Also, part of me felt he was a coward that seek death, instead of living to fight for the oppressed ones and atone for his sins, so, his death left a bitter taste, adding a layer of tragedy to an otherwise epic story. And I hate tragedy.

Tragedies only make me feel more depressed! ｡･ (ू˃̣̣̣̣̣̣ □ ˂̣̣̣̣̣̣ ू).
