In 2014, the internet boom was just beginning, and countless underdogs were on the verge of becoming legends.
In 2026, 33-year-old Chen Yan charges headlong into this feverish era, bringing with him Qiyuan, an AI twelve years ahead of its time.
He used to be a high-IQ underachiever, a jack-of-all-trades who excelled at none, and a bachelor repeatedly picked apart on blind dates.
Now, the code flowing from his fingertips is an algorithm that has yet to be invented, and the trends he mentions offhand are a future no one else can see.
This time, he wants to win back more than just wealth and dignity. He also wants the love of his life, the one he never dared to confess his feelings to, night after night, while staring at an old phone screen.
As the wheels of history roll on, Chen Yan stands atop the tide and says softly:
“I'm no prophet. I've simply brought your future here ahead of time.”
