Abstract Activating the strong immune system is a key initiative to counteract dormant tumors and prevent recurrence. Herein, self‐destructive multienzymatically active copper‐quinone‐GOx nanoparticles (abbreviated as CQG NPs) have been designed induce harmonious balanced pyroptosis cuproptosis using “Tai Chi mindset” awaken response for suppressing recurrent tumors. This cleverly material can disrupt antioxidant defense mechanism of tumor cells by inhibiting nuclear factor‐erythroid 2‐related factor 2 (NRF2)‐quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) signaling pathway. Furthermore, combined with its excellent multienzyme activity, it activates NOD‐like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3)‐mediated pyroptosis. Meanwhile, be triggered copper ions released from disintegration NPs sensitivity cancer enhanced through depletion endogenous chelators via Michael addition reaction between glutathione (GSH) quinone ligand, oxygen production catalase‐like reaction, starvation‐induced glucose deficiency. More importantly, NPs‐induced promote immunosuppressive microenvironment (TME) remodeling, enhance infiltration into tumor, activate robust systemic immunity. Collectively, this study provides new strategy resist dormancy, recurrence, improve clinical prognosis
