In a future where memories can be edited, traded, and contaminated, the boundaries between reality and virtuality have long been blurred.
Shen Mojin is a rare "memory immune" - he is naturally resistant to memory pollution, which makes him a target pursued by various forces. When he discovered that his most precious childhood memory had been tampered with during a routine memory review in Lujiazui, the city of memory, he embarked on a dangerous journey through the ruins of the Memory Desert and sneaked into the maze of the Memory Islands, just to retrieve the truth that may have never existed.
However, the pursuit of the truth is not the only one standing in the way of the Memory Authority's censors. The Memory Liberation Alliance wants his special abilities, the Memory Technology Company covets his unique brainwaves, and the mysterious memory hunters are watching in the dark. What's even more frightening is that a new type of memory pollution is spreading in the city. It can make infected people unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, and can even reshape the rules of the physical world.
When Shen Mojin gradually discovers that he may be the key to this memory plague, he must make a choice: continue to search for the truth of his personal memory, or face a disaster that may lead to collective forgetfulness of all mankind? And what secrets does his most trusted ally, the mysterious memory restorer, hide?
In this world where memory is reality, losing memory is equivalent to losing everything. And some memories may not be retrieved in the first place.
