Story background: 2225, Earth. After the "Great Silence" event, the male birth rate plummeted to extremely low levels, and the social structure changed dramatically. Men have become a scarce resource, but they have also been "objectified" as a result. Most people are addicted to pleasure, leading to stagnation in the development of science and technology and culture.
Protagonist: Long Aotian
Identity: 22-year-old orphan, just graduated from a general engineering university. He has a tough and kind character, and deep down he longs for a true sense of family and belonging, rather than being treated as a tool.
He is no ordinary orphan. His parents were top scientists who studied the origins of the "Great Silence". They died in an "accident", leaving Long Aotian a mysterious legacy - a seemingly ordinary gene lock pendant. This pendant holds the key to unlocking his own potential and the secrets of the world.
What is the truth about the "Great Silence"? Was the death of Long Aotian's parents an accident or a conspiracy? Where will this world go?
