Seven years after the spiritual energy was revived, Shen Ye, the "disaster star" of Baige Hall, picked up a blood-stained copper coin in the ruins of Night City. Copper coins say: What you pay will be returned a hundred times. Shen Ye believed it. He pledged all his belongings in exchange for a hundred times the amount of spiritual materials, techniques, and information. But every time the return is completed, a line of numbers will flash on his left wrist - remaining life span: 364 days, 363 days, 362 days... It turns out that there is no free lunch in this world, only rebates that burn life. What's even weirder is that when night falls, the entire city switches to another set of rules. Tonight's rule is: "The Gap of Truth" - any lie will turn into a sharp blade and bite back at the liar. Shen Ye was hunted by the Jiuding Society, abandoned by Baigetang, and betrayed by his teammates. His only bargaining chip was the copper coin. He must accurately calculate the timing of every contribution, block the boundaries of every Night City rule, and smash the entire power structure to pieces before his lifespan is exhausted. "You use feelings as a bargaining chip? Coincidentally, I do too." Shen Ye wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and pressed the crack on the copper coin, "But I never lose."
