In 2050, quantum physicist Chen Yuan used self-developed "causal stabilizing anchor" technology to "draw" his father, who suffered from advanced lung cancer in 2016, to future treatment. His father regained his life, but Chen Yuan began to disappear from the timeline - access control failed, colleagues forgot, and traces of his existence peeled off day by day. A bigger crisis ensued: this time travel consumed nearly 10% of the country's public energy reserves, triggering a storm of public opinion about "technological privileges." The terminally ill business tycoon tried to buy equal treatment, and ordinary people who lost their loved ones held up signs in front of the Space-Time Administration to protest: "Time belongs to all mankind." Faced with the torn between personal life and death and social justice, Chen Jianguo, a 70-year-old father, said the entire article: "Save me one person today, and I will save thousands of people tomorrow." The novel starts from a technological transgression driven by "selfishness" and explores how to find a third way between individual emotions and public ethics when humans master the ability to intervene in time. It's not about sacrificing anyone or saving anyone, but about transforming "one person's miracle" into an accelerator for the medical progress of all mankind.
