Synopsis.
A genius in black technology and an AR (augmented reality) expert who used to be the biggest enemies become each other’s lifelong love. They shuttle back and forth between a virtual wuxia world and the reality that they live in.
In the year 2029, Ye Tian, the president of Azure Group gets into an accident and falls into a permanent coma. His company will be releasing his posthumous work known as the “Pangu” system. In order to have one last look at the fantasy world that Ye Tian designed, Bai Wei enters “Pangu” and is surprised to find a living, breathing Ye Tian.
As it turns out, there was an attempt on Ye Tian’s life and his consciousness is now stuck inside “Pangu.” Once he dies in the virtual world, he will also disappear for good. Bai Wei exends a helping hand to his former opponent, thus giving rise to an impossible rescue mission to “swap the bodies.”
