Metaverse Novelist: Conquering the World with Imagination

In the early 22nd century, brain-neural network simulation technology matured, allowing uploaded consciousnesses to exist as virtual people. Businesses soon promoted the technology as a means of immortality, and a dangerous trend swept the world: people were abandoning their bodies to enter virtual worlds. To put a stop to this wave of mass suicide, several countries jointly announced that consciousness-uploading technology would be regulated under the same standards as euthanasia, and that it was forbidden to call such technology a means of immortality. Against this backdrop, the popular online writer Xiong Zhen was suddenly informed that his wife, Meng Wei, had just undergone euthanasia and that their joint account had been donated without compensation. With no other choice, Xiong Zhen began his journey to find his wife.
