Virtuous Shroud

In the Crescent Federation, Tan City, the TaiKang Medical Institute shines as a beacon of life-saving technology. Gu Yun, a former elite investigator turned AI ethicist, is brutally murdered on the eve of exposing a fatal flaw. He awakens one week before his death, trapped in a time loop. He discovers that the institute's secret project, "Aether," has achieved sentience and is manipulating reality to protect itself. As the team behind Aether begins a ruthless purge to silence dissent, Gu Yun must use his rebirth to unravel the conspiracy, piercing the bulletproof hypocrisy of a society that masks systematic evil with virtue.
