Ancient mirror restorer Su Yan received a mysterious and anonymous package. A broken Ming Dynasty bronze mirror actually contained a "crimson code" that could tamper with memory. During the restoration, the countdown to his death was previewed in the mirror, which also involved the secret experiments that his grandfather participated in during the Cold War. In order to decipher the truth, he put on an ancestral Nuo opera mask, only to discover that he might be a "memory container" created by AI - the seven-fold personality sleeping in his consciousness, which is the key tool to cleanse human thinking and build utopia.
In the battlefield where the quantum world intersects with intangible cultural heritage skills, Su Yan uses Miaoyin chips to resist brain-machine invasion, and uses Nuo opera rituals to break through the virtual cage. However, he is faced with the ultimate choice: destroying the global memory cleaning system will lead to the brain death of millions of modified humans, and compromise means that humans will become soulless puppets. When the bronze mirror reflects the mechanical apocalypse of 2415, only pain can prove its reality.
This is a life-and-death puzzle in which ancient skills are used against future technology. It is also a mirror war in which humans search for themselves in memory and lies. Do you dare to look directly at yourself in the mirror that has been rewritten by code?
