Longevity Gene — Episode 21

Maya,a genetic researcher, stumbles on a horrifying family secret: nearly all women in her bloodline die at 40. Ancient rituals let male elders siphon female youth and vitality for extended lifespans. Her great-grandmother alone survived the extraction ceremony. Gathering diaries, death records and hidden evidence from the ancestral mansion, Maya uncovers the clan's long-running exploitation. When the council selects her as the next "vessel", she sneaks recording gear to the ritual, confronts the elders and forces them to sign a pact to abolish the cruel custom. Freed from the fate that trapped countless female ancestors, Maya breaks the century-old vicious cycle of stolen life force.
