Year 2157, Star City.
In this futuristic city where technology and fantasy intersect, under the crystal dome of Star Dome Academy lies the secret of time that can subvert human civilization. Young Huo Mu, a genius who was stigmatized as "patrikiller and traitor to the clan" and had multiple disguised identities, gradually awakened to the ability to perceive time inherited in his bloodline after the deducer disappeared. The pocket watch left by his father, the open-source human consciousness library, the pursuit from the Chronological Council, the space-time crystals in the polar regions of Mars, the engine prototype that can control the flow of time... Fragmented clues lead Huo Mu into a life-and-death game across the stars.
When the Mars mission ended tragically, a new secret text appeared on the pocket watch: "The real secret is at the top of the star."
Huo Mu finally realized that his father's legacy was far from the end. Deep in the tallest building in Star City, a shadow with the same appearance as his was waiting, and the real prelude of the Time War was quietly beginning at this moment.
This is a story of legacy, betrayal and redemption. In a future where time can be tampered with, can the boy protect human free will and solve the mystery of time and space that has entangled three generations?
