About This Novel

In the near future where emotions are completely colonized by capital, the human neural network turns joy, anger, sorrow and joy into tradable commodities. Shen Duo, an engineer who lost his emotional ability due to an accident, was forced to repair the emotional production system of the mysterious platform "Peng Lai" at sea. In the deep sea of data, he discovered that the core of the system imprisoned the consciousness of a girl-Lin Xi. Lin Xi is not artificial intelligence, but a digital existence created based on the consciousness of Shen Duo's deceased wife. Every feeling she feels is extracted and refined in real time into top-notch emotional goods. What is even more shocking is that Shen Duo discovered that his "emotional lack" was not an accident, but a lock sealing the truth of the past. When the system started the cleanup process, Shen Duo made an impossible choice: to import Lin Xi's core consciousness into his own incomplete neural network. Two broken beings wake up in the same body - one cannot feel, one has no memory; one is burdened with the past, and the other longs for reality. They must survive the pursuit of multinational corporations, balance the risks of consciousness fusion, and ultimately face the mentor who created it all. This is a swim against the current of data, a silent resistance to the commodification of emotions, and a journey to redefine love, memory and freedom at the edge of human nature. "The Countercurrent Sea" is not only a science fiction escape, but also a philosophical fable about how scars can become bridges and how holes can be filled by echoes. When emotions become an ocean, some people choose to go downstream, while others turn around and swim towards the source.
