Yun Tianming is a quiet engineer in Death's End who, dying of cancer, uses an unexpected windfall to anonymously buy a distant star as a gift for Cheng Xin, the classmate he has silently loved for years.

Yun Tianming is a quiet, withdrawn aerospace engineering graduate, a man who has moved through life largely unnoticed and who carries a long unspoken love for Cheng Xin, a classmate from his university years. When he is diagnosed with terminal cancer, he prepares to end his life on his own terms; an unexpected windfall changes the shape of his final days, and he spends it not on himself but on an anonymous gift, purchasing a distant star registered in Cheng Xin's name through a program selling naming rights to stars.
