The villains never knew: why was there a recording in a place with no surveillance cameras?
In her previous life, Meng Xizhe was a second-tier actress. After refusing to become a powerful tycoon's kept woman, she was framed, saddled with enormous debt, and ultimately died a tragic death. Reborn six months before the tragedy, she is bound to an "intelligent System" from outer space. Its virtual form is an octopus, and its technology is far beyond that of Blue Star. Guided by Meng Xizhe's hatred of evil, it transforms into an eight-armed predator of evil, gathering evidence of villains' secret dealings and delivering it all to disciplinary authorities, the police, or the public online.
She sends the tycoon who ruined her in her previous life to prison. After that, she becomes utterly hooked on the satisfaction of fighting evil and helping others, turning into a masked heroine known by the codename "Evil-Eating Octopus": a vault robbery, a girl's disappearance, a string of murders... She becomes a mysterious legend in the police force, yet no one can find her. No one could imagine that Meng Xizhe, now a top-tier star, is the Octopus.
Three years, over a hundred good deeds, and no one has uncovered her identity. Then Qin Rui, the youngest division chief in the High-Tech Investigation Bureau, is ordered to secretly track down the Octopus. One phishing email, a joint national rescue operation, and an unspoken understanding: "No meeting, no comparing notes, just get the job done." When hunter and prey face each other in an interrogation room, when capital can crush her simply by making her "unable to explain herself," and when even the System has to deal with its own miserable office-worker fate, every loose thread will come together on the night the mountain falls.
