    He awoke to find himself the enemy. Ryuichi Onishi, a 25-year-old representative of the right wing of Japan's Liberal Democratic Party, whose maternal grandfather was a founding member of the "Japan Conference." But he knew he was Li Jianbang, 34, an assistant professor at Tsinghua University's School of International Relations, specializing in the history of Sino-Japanese relations and the Nanjing Massacre. Even more terrifying, the system told him that deviating from his mission of revenge would lead to memory loss. He must, under the threat of amnesia, complete an impossible revenge—not by destroying Japan through war, but by dismantling militarism from within, forcing a nation with war crimes to truly reflect on its history. This is not a simple time-travel novel, but a philosophical examination of history, memory, and identity. The core question: If we lose our memories, are we still ourselves? The answer: Memory is not the same as identity. True identity comes from values ​​and choices. Even if he forgets Li Jianbang's memories, as long as he upholds peace, he is still Li Jianbang. "The system can threaten my memories, but it cannot take away my choices." —Ryuichi Onishi
