At the age of forty, Chen Ming received not a cake, but a "death notice" with a million-dollar debt.
His mother passed away, his career collapsed, and everyone was betrayed. On his 40th birthday, Chen Ming had been living at home for a year and was heavily in debt. When he was forced into a desperate situation by loan sharks and rent, and roared in despair out the window, a cold [life debt system] forcibly bound him.
The system told him that his total debt in life was as high as one million yuan, including financial debt, emotional debt and "survival debt" from wasted time. What's even more cruel is that the debt is directly linked to his life - failure means "recovery of the right to survive" (death).
His first task is to reach the top floor of a skyscraper three kilometers away within ten minutes. A desperate run with life as a bet begins. After he completed the mission after nearly dying, he saw a line of small print on the back of the business card as a token: Serial number: 41.
These three words, like a key, unlocked a blood-stained list deep in the system for him. He was shocked to discover that he was not a special case - there had been forty "debtors" before him. Thirty-eight of them have been "liquidated", one person gave up his mission and died, and the status of No. 40 In front of him is "on the run"...
It turns out that he is not repaying his own debt, but serving as the latest sacrifice for a cruel sequence that straddles the shadow of history.
