Zhang Feng, an ordinary young man, dies suddenly in a hospital ward amid the anxiety of the information age, only to be reborn ten years earlier, back in his college days. Along with his rebirth comes a mysterious System called the [All-Seeing Eye], which can turn the world into cold data: other people’s favorability, probability charts for events, and shortcuts that instantly max out his skills. With the System and his memories of the future, Zhang Feng easily obtains everything he once longed for: academic acclaim, his first fortune, and even what seems to be a perfect romance.
However, he soon discovers that the gift of omnipotence has long had a price attached. Every time he uses the System to achieve the “optimal outcome,” it strips away his emotions and wears down his humanity. Family ties are reduced to the cost of care, friendship faces merciless trials from System missions, and love becomes a perfect performance dictated by data. More frightening still, the System not only grants him power, but also issues increasingly demanding missions in the name of [Karmic Debt], gradually eroding his moral boundaries.
When Chen Sheng, a rival who calls himself a “predator,” appears, and Su Xiao, the “glitch” girl the System cannot analyze, brings him warmth and warnings, Zhang Feng is forced to face the ultimate choice: will he sink into the omnipotent divinity bestowed by data, or fight against the cold tide to protect the fragile warmth of all that cannot be quantified, all that makes us human?
