In 2030, top chip designer Chen Zhiyuan lay dying in Silicon Valley. His greatest regret was never having contributed to China's chip industry. Fate gave him a chance to start over, and he was reborn in Shenzhen in 1997 as a university student named Lin Yi.
Armed with memories and technical expertise from his previous life, Lin Yi embarked on a new journey. He had to adjust to his new identity and maintain his relationship with his childhood sweetheart, Su Yuqing, while also helping his struggling father reform the family electronics factory. Through participating in electronic design competitions and pursuing independent research and development, he gradually made a name for himself in the business world.
As his career took off, he met Lin Chuchu, an arrogant technology prodigy; An Lan, a shrewd and capable finance talent; and He Mengyao, who had unique insights into quantum computing. With their help, Lin Yi's company continued to grow. However, his old rival from his previous life, Intel executive James Wilson, had already set his sights on this rising young star.
From a small factory on Shenzhen Bay to ringing the opening bell at the Nasdaq; from basic industrial control systems to quantum chips leading the world. Lin Yi must navigate the cutthroat business world, protect the people dear to him, and find balance between his career and his relationships.
This is a story about serving the nation through technology and passing on one's original aspirations. It is also an epic that chronicles the development of China's chip industry. In an era that sets dreams alight, how will one young man draw on knowledge from two lifetimes to surpass himself and compose a brilliant song for his age?
