——"The daughter you never had is waiting for you to save her."
In 2124, the monthly "Elimination Live Broadcast" has become a nightmare for all mankind - randomly selected people around the world are forced to participate in a 24-hour survival challenge, and the losers will disappear completely from the world. No one can decipher its origin, only that it always turns the deepest sins in the hearts of participants into fatal missions.
This time, it's the turn of global technology giant Leng Tianheng.
The task given to him by the live broadcast system was extremely absurd: "Save and apologize to your daughter."
But he remembered that he had no children at all.
A mysterious woman named Shigure, who claims to be a reporter and carries a mechanical hamster with her, suddenly breaks in. She kept probing his past with pointed questions, but she saved him many times at critical moments of life and death, guiding him to uncover the memories erased by drugs——
During the 24-hour countdown, he must:
Survive the pursuit of his best friend He Lianyue and the military "referee"
Retrieve my wife who was imprisoned in the dungeon and whose memory was tampered with
Rescue a two-year-old girl who has become a genetic experiment subject
Under the judgmental gaze of nine billion viewers around the world, complete the ultimate redemption of ecology, family and conscience.
High concept setting: monthly fatal live broadcast & causal reckoning of future humans
Extreme time pressure: 24-hour real-time countdown, every two to three chapters corresponds to one hour in the story
Multiple reversals: the daughter turns from an avenger to a savior, a best friend becomes the ultimate villain, and the fog of memory is revealed layer by layer.

Five stars, well deserved! Global live broadcast trial, 24-hour countdown to redemption! The forgotten daughter traveled from the future to seek revenge, and her heart beat with every step she took. Gene editing, memory tampering, military shady stories - when science fiction shines into the abyss of human nature, can you find the truth before the second hand reaches zero? There are so many twists and turns in each chapter that I can't even breathe, but I can't help but want to do it again.
Directors, look over here! Top sci-fi IP reservation: "Black Mirror" style setting + "Taken" rhythm + "Inception" twist. The two-line narrative is full of tension, and the father-daughter confrontation scene instantly killed the Oscar-winning script. From the dungeon wasteland aesthetics to the live broadcast interface UI design, every frame is overflowing with visual appeal. Zhang Zhen×Wen Qi×Zhou Xun, I'll help you think about the casting!
The most crying science fiction novel this year! Leng Tianheng's crime and punishment for forgetting his wife and daughter, Shigure's hatred and redemption spanning 20 years, the mechanical hamster saying "I love you" with the last electric spark - every character is looking for completeness in the midst of fragmentation. When the countdown reaches zero, you will find that this is not only a story about the future, but also the "I'm sorry" missing in every contemporary family.
