The story takes place in 2077 AD. This is an era of highly developed science and technology, solidified social classes, and fierce collision between traditional beliefs and future technology.
* **High Technology and Low Life**: The giant city "Xinjing City" has neon lights and suspended traffic flowing between skyscrapers. However, beneath the prosperity is a huge gap between rich and poor. The elite class enjoys the convenience and longevity brought by prosthetic body modification and genetic optimization, while the people at the bottom are struggling to survive in the lower-class areas with serious pollution and lack of resources, relying on cheap nutritional creams and virtual entertainment.
* **Megacorporate Empire**: The concept of country is gradually replaced by multinational megacorporations. Among them, the "Kunlun Group" is the most powerful technology giant in the world. Its business has penetrated into all fields such as genetic biology, artificial intelligence, aerospace, and the metaverse, and it controls almost everyone's food, clothing, housing, and transportation.
* **Cyberspace and Reality**: Cybernetics and neural interfaces have become the norm. People can seamlessly access the global network through brain-computer interfaces and even upload their consciousness to the "Tai Xu Realm" of the metaverse to seek "immortality" at the digital level. The boundaries between reality and virtuality are becoming increasingly blurred.
