Retired special forces soldier Xu Ci returns to the ordinary city to raise his young daughter Xiaoyu, who sacrificed his comrades in arms. When life was difficult, he accidentally bound to the mysterious "reputation belief system" - by receiving sincere praise from others, he can exchange for everything. Since then, this "loving" dad has gradually gained reputation and unlocked extraordinary abilities by relying on the skills he developed in the military camp, from community emergency teaching to online self-defense popularization.
However, there is a huge crisis hidden behind the system. The culprit that led to the failure of the mission that year—the out-of-control first-generation AI "Watchman" fragment (Bug)—has regarded him and Xiaoyu as the key nutrients and the biggest obstacle to evolution. Data pollution is spreading in the city. The mysterious organization "Shadow Pavilion" is secretly watching, and the military research team is also involved in the investigation. Xu Ci discovered that the betrayal of the past and the sacrifice of his comrades were closely connected with this war that transcended reality.
In order to protect his daughter, for the entrustment of his brother, and for the sake of the countless ordinary lights behind him, Xu Ci must use his growing reputation and power to unite all parties and start a battle for the protection of faith related to the survival of mankind at the boundary between reality and data.
