In a future China where time is life, a poor man, Chen Nuo, breaks into the time black market with his awakened "eye of time" and extraordinary resourcefulness to save his sick mother. From struggling between seconds to dealing with the situation of the wealthy and powerful, he uses his life as his stake and his wisdom as his blade, vowing to tear apart this eternal unfair order.
Purpose: To explore the alienation and struggle of human nature when life is completely quantified and capitalized.
· Praising the resistance of the lower class individuals to the powerful with their wisdom and will in an extremely unfair system.
· Warning about social divisions and ethical dilemmas caused by absolute monopoly and technology abuse.
· Emphasize that even if life is short, its significance cannot be measured by the length of time, but rather how it is planned and utilized.
