Wei Continent.
Shen Zong was engrossed in reading "The Martian".
As a renowned science fiction author from Wei Continent, Shen Zong was shortlisted for the Best Medium-to-Long Science Fiction Grand Prize at this Galaxy Awards.
He had thought he would win the award.
Unexpectedly, a novel from Qin Continent snatched the grand prize away.
Truth be told.
Shen Zong was somewhat unwilling to accept this.
Shen Zong believed that the other two shortlisted contenders probably felt the same unwillingness, which is why he immediately purchased "The Martian" upon its release to thoroughly understand where he had fallen short.
...
This novel fit the criteria for a medium-to-long work perfectly.
The story originated from the Wei Continent Space Bureau's series of Mars landing missions called Ares—the God of War.
The protagonist, Mark, was one of the six astronauts of the third landing mission.
