Summary: After a red meteor streaks across the sky, humanity’s technological advancements—rockets, nuclear weapons, airplanes, and cars—cease to function, causing the collapse of modern civilization. A mysterious "grey realm" emerges, dragging the world into disorder where human life is devalued to the level of dust. Amid this chaos, the protagonist, Chen Ling, an actor, stands defiantly on the ruins of civilization, wearing a vivid red cloak and oscillating between laughter and tears. His journey begins in the Twilight Realm, a divided region with the prosperous Twilight City at its core and seven outer zones that serve as resource factories, where residents endure harsh living conditions. Chen Ling’s experiences seem to unfold as if scripted in a play, blending his theatrical background with survival in a world where reality and performance blur. As he navigates this dystopian landscape, he confronts societal divides, supernatural threats, and his own identity, declaring, “Let the show begin,” as he shapes the narrative of this new era.
