In 2077, gene editing has become a scalpel that can change destiny - the powerful use it to customize "perfect offspring", but ordinary people have to pay a sky-high price to even correct genetic diseases.
Lin Yan, a top scientist at the gene editing center, pressed the "reject all optimization" button in front of his daughter's genetic map. This choice transformed her from an industry benchmark to a target of public criticism overnight, and also caused her daughter Su Nian to live in the shadow of a "genetically defective person" since childhood.
When Su Nian was eighteen years old, a mysterious genetic disease suddenly broke out in the "perfect human" group, with a mortality rate as high as 100%, and the genetic sequences of all patients pointed to the same source - the optimization plan that Lin Yan had participated in the design. What's even weirder is that Su Nian's body actually has antibodies that can fight against this genetic disease. Her "imperfection" has become the only hope to save the world.
On one side were the optimizers who were consumed by panic and were frantically hunting "natural humans", and on the other side were the underground resistance organizations who regarded Su Nian as a "genetic weapon" and tried to control her. Lin Yan had to flee with his daughter. On the way, they met Lu Zhe, a victim of gene editing and a reporter who secretly investigated the defects. While chasing the murderer and escaping, the three of them gradually discovered that this disaster was not an accident, but a trap that had been laid by someone to completely eliminate "imperfect" humans.
When "perfection" becomes a curse and "defects" become salvation, will humans still remember that the meaning of life never lies in the merits of genes?
