"When memory becomes a shackle, the truth is the only key."
In the future, the Memory Management Bureau controls human thought. In the name of "social stability," it alters, deletes, and even sells memories at will. Jiang Yunshen, a young man of mysterious identity, sets out on a thorny quest to uncover the truth behind his memories after finding a mechanical pocket watch engraved with a cryptic number.
The remains of the laboratory his father left behind, a clone in a cultivation chamber with the same face as his own, Bai Yueli, whose wrist bears a spiral crest... Every clue points to a forbidden experiment buried from the world: the "New World Project." Hunted by the Memory Management Bureau, Jiang Yunshen carries the "Memory Key," which can unlock the core of memory, as he travels through a past and future where reality and illusion intertwine. He gradually discovers that his memories are merely one part of countless experimental datasets, and that deep within his eyes lie silver-blue patterns powerful enough to overturn the world.
Time is forever frozen at 3:17. The truth whispers through the cracks in the pendulum:
Are you a vessel designed for a purpose, or a key that has awakened?
When the Memory Management Bureau's lies collapse, will you choose to become the creator of a new world, or find your true humanity amid the ruins?
