"Mortal Bones" Lin Yuan is surviving in Yunlai City because of his lowest D-level gene rating. He once married into the Jiang family, a small family, and married the former genius girl Jiang Yin. However, due to an experimental accident, Jiang Yin's genes degenerated and he became the laughing stock of the whole city. In order to save her family, she divorced Lin Yuan under family pressure and got engaged to an S-class upstart.
On the night of the divorce, Lin Yuan was assassinated by a mysterious force. When he was about to die, he accidentally activated a relic left to him by his mother - a "forbidden lock" from the depths of the wasteland. This lock can reverse cause and effect and rewrite the genetic sequence at the cost of life. Lin Yuan, who returned from death, finally saw clearly: his marriage to Jiang Yin was itself a calculated conspiracy. And Jiang Yin's genetic degradation was exactly the trap set up by a certain force to seize the "Forbidden Lock".
Starting from saving his ex-wife, Lin Yuan embarked on a path of changing his destiny by using his "mortal bones" to steal the power of the gods. He conquered the wasteland, reconstructed the "Locks of Taboo", and launched a revolution from the bottom to the "genetic aristocrats" hanging over the city. His rival is the ex-wife who was used as a pawn.
