"Your balance in 2023 is insufficient, please recharge in time - unfortunately time is not phone bill, and the thief who steals time is not the mobile customer service."
When Qi Xiaoman discovered that twelve months were missing from the calendar of everyone in the city, she thought it was the work of some prank APP. It wasn't until she met that weird guy counting seconds behind the counter of a coffee shop that she realized that someone was using high technology to harvest the time of all mankind.
"Time Manager" Shiguang can see the hourglass of life above everyone's head, and the countdown tattoo that suddenly appears on Qi Xiaoman's wrist shows that she only has 72 hours left. This temporary partner must recapture the stolen twelve months from the hands of transnational time dealers, and the clues are hidden in the safe of the "Time Express" company where Qi Xiaoman works.
The question is, when time itself becomes a tradable currency, how much "past" are you willing to trade for "future"?
