Does the protagonist have supernatural powers? Is he a great fighter? No. Yuan Ling is a young scientist whom everyone calls a madman. He has no charm, no fighting talent, and no desire to become a hero. In his own mind, he has only one identity. “I am a scientist. And science will change humanity forever.” One night, a mysterious girl from the year 2318 appears in his room. She is beautiful, emotionless, and powerful enough to destroy an entire city. Her mission is simple: protect Yuan Ling at all costs. Because in the future, Yuan Ling will create Yuan Chu, a super-intelligent machine system that replaces human governments, ends corruption, and builds a perfectly fair world. But that perfect world has another name: a cage. Now, assassins from the future are coming to kill him before the machine empire can be born. Between freedom and order, humanity and machines, Yuan Ling must face the future he has not yet created. This is not the story of a hero saving the world. This is the story of a scientist who may save humanity by caging it.
