Yechen, a social worker who was unemployed after graduation, accidentally tied an old mobile phone found in the second-hand market at a desperate moment when his landlord pressed for rent and his perfect attendance bonus was withheld. There was a reverse Shenhao system hidden in it that forced him to "pay to continue his life."
The system distributes money every day, but forces him to spend it all within 24 hours, otherwise he will not only get back all his wealth, but also erase his memory; he buys a keychain with a mysterious memory card hidden in it, and picks up a pocket watch to slow down time. Even the orange cat at the entrance of the corridor speaks human language and warns him that "the system is a trap."
What's even weirder is that there are always people who are eyeing his old mobile phone: the "cleaner" in a black suit wants to recycle him, the "assimilated" manager has a hidden knife in his smile, and even the landlord suddenly doesn't look like himself. When the flying takeaway boy handed over a photo pointing to an abandoned clock factory, Ye Chen discovered that there were secrets about "time anchors" and "world rules" hidden behind this system - and he was just a pawn in a huge chess game.
Spending money is a task, saving life is a problem. Amid systematic persecution and pursuit by unknown forces, Ye Chen must be a powerful man "forced to show off his wealth" while uncovering all the mysteries, otherwise he himself will be the next one to be "erased".
