Chief technical advisor Chen Xing returned to three years ago with a warning to "stop the company's new energy projects" after being murdered by his future self. He thought his mission was to expose a business conspiracy, but unexpectedly discovered that the world he was in was just a huge virtual reality - "The Cradle", and humans in the real world had long been reduced to biological batteries that kept this illusion running. What's even more frightening is that every time he tries to change his past travel behavior, he accelerates the collapse of the foundation of reality. Chen Xing must choose between false prosperity and cruel reality, and race against time to find a path to redemption that may not exist before the system completely collapses, even if it means facing himself again from the future who wants to stop him at all costs.
