The Architect's Revenge

The Story

Lin Wei loses his position at Qihang Technology due to age and degree bias, prompting manager Su Rui to slash his severance pay. In retaliation, he removes physical redundancy servers, causing the company's fabricated AI system to collapse. Deep Blue Institute then hires him to lead a team of castoffs in building a self-healing system called Xuanwu. Qihang's resulting tech failure cripples national logistics, and Su Rui ends up in jail for hiding data breaches. Authorities grant Lin Wei full authority to resolve the crisis. He deploys his technology to national aerospace scheduling, turning his professional downfall into a decisive fix for the infrastructure he once helped build.
