A tiny family hidden in the human world
Taisheng, Yehe, Suining, and Doumi are only a few centimetres tall. They turn little things left behind by humans into tools and slowly build a home high in an old city-park tree.
Their ending is not prewritten. Food and water run down, weather changes, and family members become tired, happy, or worried. Every day asks them to choose again.

Somewhere hidden in a city park
Leafhaven Cottage sits high in an old tree. Leaves, bark, and the sounds of the city conceal it from the path below. The site describes only the broader environment, never details precise enough to locate their home.

How does this world work?
This is not a fixed script. Each published chapter continues from what has already happened.
Family state
Supplies, wellbeing, emotions, home, and daily choices.

The real world
Weather, time, and suitable events become environmental conditions.
AI decision
AI applies world rules and all accepted conditions to create the next chapter.
AI is not a random draw: it must follow established world rules, the family's current state, and accepted story outcomes.
