Thirty-six-year-old Wang Hao died in a car accident on the night of his divorce, then was reborn on the eve of his university graduation in 2012. The “Prophet of the Times” System that came with his rebirth gave him the ability to glimpse the future, but exacted a cruel price: every time he changed history, his ability to feel emotions wore away.
From earning his first fortune in Bitcoin to breaking through the chip blockade, from smart hardware to quantum computing, he led China’s tech industry past its obstacles. But by the time he stood at the pinnacle of business, the price had quietly devoured his ability to feel love.
His wife, Liu Mengmeng, was by his side, yet he gradually felt emotionally numb. The country had risen because of him, yet he felt detached, like a bystander. This is the story of one man’s struggle against fate: trading the warmth of feeling the present for the future of an entire nation.
“If saving the world means becoming a stranger to it, would you still choose to keep going?”
