Lin Ye, a technology entrepreneur who was on the verge of bankruptcy, received a six-digit "backdating procedure" test order at midnight when he was forced into desperation by rent. The moment he took the order, strange things happened one after another: the blue raincoat deliveryman who levitated the incubator, the brass lighter that appeared out of thin air, and the thirty seconds that disappeared when running the program... All of this pointed to his former best friend and now competitor Zhou Mingxuan. As the test progresses, Lin Ye discovers that the price of "backtracking" is far from as simple as the passage of time - every time it is used, it leaves behind a "self" abandoned in the past, and the man in the blue raincoat is going around recycling these "pasts"; the mysterious brass lighter is the "time anchor" ", Zhou Mingxuan has mastered two of them and is frantically looking for the third one; what's even more frightening is that a newspaper with the message "He will die tomorrow", the strange figure in the elevator mirror, and the old news that the owner of the takeaway station was burned to death all imply that this business competition has long been reduced to a game of time robbery. When Lin Ye entered the Qiming Technology Building with his only "anchor", he was shocked to realize Zhou Mingxuan's true purpose: to use countless people's time to piece together the "perfect past", and the first "repeat customer" to be sacrificed was actually someone they thought had died long ago. In the whirlpool of time and human nature, Lin Ye must expose this scam built with memories and lifespan before being swallowed up - after all, what can be turned back is time, but what cannot be turned back is the human heart.
