He can hear the echoes of history, but cannot hear the traps around him.
Chen Wan, a "loophole artist" who walks in the gray area, possesses a strange ability - "historical synaesthesia": from every fluctuation in the financial market, he can hear the screams of tulip mania and the sigh of the bursting of the Mississippi bubble. He thought this talent was the key to seeing the truth, until the TLT token system he designed himself became the mouth of a giant whale devouring billions of wealth.
The man behind the scenes is his investor, the young emperor of the financial empire - Tang Yu. An elegant lunatic who believes in "the inevitability of consensus" is executing an ultimate harvest called the "Phantom Whale Project". Chen Wan was not the first prey, but he was the first to try to bite back.
And the most powerful "white glove" around Tang Yu, the mysterious investment director Su Qian, also has another name - Lin Wei. Is the identity that sank seven years ago now the gentlest knife stabbing Chen Wan, or the key to tearing apart Tang Yu's trust system?
From the capital puzzle to the dusty old files, a precise hunting and counterattack spanning seven years was quietly staged. When the echoes of history resonated with the conspiracies of reality, Chen Wang discovered that he was not only fighting against the giants of capital, but also the greed for "narrative" deep in human nature.
This is a financial version of "Inception." On the edge of the abyss of data and desire, see who becomes the first to become the harvested "consensus."
