In Linjiang City, where neon and dust intersect, delivery boy Chen Mo's life originally consisted of a damp rental house and never-ending bills. In an accident while delivering orders, he bumped into the mysterious woman Lin Wan - the top female anchor on the giant screen in the financial center, but she was barefoot, with broken heels, and poured millions worth of red wine into a ridiculous encounter. The diamond necklace she left behind was engraved with "SWAN-17", like a key, unlocking Chen Mo's sealed past.
The fire in the orphanage when she was seven years old, the tampered memories, and the scar under the collarbone that was exactly the same as in Lin Wan's treasured photos, gradually pieced together the cruel truth: they were once experimental subjects of the "Prison Bird Project", and every time Lin Wan came close, it was a fatal betrayal against the capital and technology giants. When Chen Mo was pushed into the live broadcast and his wounds were torn under the gaze of thousands of viewers, he gradually discovered that the so-called counterattack was just a bloody chess game wrapped by Lin Wan with fireworks-like illusions.
The time network wakes up, the genetic key goes wild, and the countdown to the restart of ancient civilization roars under the ice. From the urban village to the Antarctic laboratory, from data ruins to the conspiracy of mechanical ascension, Chen Mo must choose between becoming a god-killer or becoming a puppet. And the fireworks that illuminated the slums on New Year's Eve eventually became a beacon for two ants to declare war on the gods - the power to crush eternity is hidden in the humblest dust.
