A miracle drug known as “Yuanshangcao No. 1” becomes widespread across the globe. Pain and death vanish completely, and all of humanity attains immortality. Yet immortality does not bring freedom. Instead, it binds people even more tightly to the giant monopoly corporation known as Wanshitong Group. Bodies can heal endlessly, but mortgages, labor contracts, and debts can never truly be paid off. The working class is forced to endure exploitation without end. The protagonist, Zhao Xu, works in the group’s public relations department, where his job is to suppress worker protests and cover up the darkness of the system. Through an accidental clue, he discovers that his father, Dr. Zhao Jiming, the scientist who developed the immortality drug, did not die as reported, but has been imprisoned by the corporation for years. As the truth behind the drug’s development is gradually revealed, Zhao Xu learns that the corporation deliberately altered the drug’s effects, artificially creating an endless demand for pain relief. Through painkillers, real estate, and labor systems, they have built a machine that permanently harvests immortal humanity. This solo AI-produced cyber fable uses the dystopian reality behind an immortality utopia to sharply satirize capitalist exploitation and endless social competition, questioning the true meaning of life and freedom within a cold vision of the future.
