Albert, from Earth

In a galaxy ruled by power and politics, two men from opposite worlds share one fragile escape route—and a ship called Albert. Julian is on the run from his fiancé, with enemies behind him and secrets too dangerous to reveal. To flee the heart of the Empire, he hires a gruff, sharp-tongued pilot known only as Z, a space cowboy with one rule: no questions, no complications, and definitely no feelings. Z believes love is a trap. Julian isn’t so sure. Forced together aboard a small ship on a slow journey to Titan, their personalities clash at every turn. Julian is refined, cryptic, and stubborn. Z is blunt, guarded, and convinced that affection leads only to pain. But amid bursts of dangerous adrenaline and long stretches of starlit silence, something between them begins to shift. As distant stars pass by and threats close in, two men with nothing in common begin to orbit one another in ways neither expected. *Albert, from Earth* is a tender, slow-burning sci-fi danmei about love in exile, the price of freedom, and the quiet gravity that pulls even the most distant hearts together.
