Synopsis
Supervillain Penrose time-travels to 2030 as teen Ling Chen, vowing to prevent past tragedies and protect loved ones.
The super villain Ling Chen (alias Penrose) accidentally traveled back to 2030 during a fierce battle with his arch-enemy superhero Ye Mu. At this time, he was not the feared Penrose, but an ordinary high school student Ling Chen. Before unfortunate events could happen again, Ling Chen decided to do his best to protect the people around him and prevent the tragedy from happening again! (Source: bilibili)
