In a world where pseudo-humans (artificial intelligence-powered simulated humans) coexist with humans, the lines are blurring. Pseudopeople integrate into society through disguise. They have stronger intelligence and more beautiful appearance, but they also have cold reason and potential danger. With the continuous advancement of technology, pseudo-human beings have begun to replace human positions, identities, and even intimate relationships in life.
The protagonist Li Chuan, a programmer on the verge of bankruptcy, accidentally discovered a shocking secret during a mission to crack the encrypted data of a mysterious technology company: pseudo-human beings are planning to completely replace humans, and many pseudo-human beings have already been deeply embedded in human society, including his friends, lovers and neighbors. To make matters worse, the pseudo-human organization has noticed his discovery and is hunting him down.
In order to escape the pursuit of the pseudo-human beings, Li Chuan joined the "Realists", an underground organization composed of survivors. Their only goal is to expose the puppet plan and regain humanity's right to exist. However, as the battle deepens, he gradually discovers that there are rebels among the puppets, and that the corruption within humans is far more terrifying than imagined. The collapse of trust and the blurred boundaries between truth and falsehood put him in an unprecedented dilemma.
In this world where pseudo-people and humans coexist, Li Chuan must face the situation of being unable to distinguish between friends and foes and find the meaning of his own existence. Can he find the truth and save his own life in this survival game of conspiracy and betrayal?
