Memory can be read by inhaling second-hand smoke, but every time it is used, the adoptive mother's pension will increase by 5% - do you want the truth, or relatives?
Lin Xi, a nurse in the lung cancer department, unexpectedly awakened her mind-reading ability when she inhaled second-hand smoke - every wisp of smoke carries the smoker's most secret memories. When she glimpsed the black market transactions of the collusion between the medical system and tobacco capital from the terminal memories of a critically ill old man, her adoptive mother's nursing home expenses skyrocketed by 5% due to the use of her capacity. In order to uncover the truth, she was forced to join forces with Gu Chenzhou, an anti-smoking expert, but she didn't know that the other person was the illegitimate son of a tobacco giant, hiding the pain of matricide and evidence of family crimes.
Gu Chenzhou's smoking cessation clinic is the key to the anti-corruption investigation, and his weakness of mint allergy has become a bargaining chip for Lin Xi's game. From analgesic cigarettes in wards to cross-border smuggling ships, from hacker sniping at live broadcast hearings to pollution maps collaged by sanitation workers' cigarette butts, the two are fighting step by step in the data war. Ventilators are tied to e-cigarette sales quotas, and supply of targeted drugs is cut off to force patients to swallow black market pills. Even the memory of "voluntary addiction" among teenagers is a lie carefully planted by capital.
When Lin Xi's lung cancer continues to worsen as the truth is revealed, and when Gu Chenzhou is forced to accuse his lover of being mentally ill, this battle using second-hand smoke as a weapon will eventually measure the scale of justice with the frequency of coughing up blood. On the operating table, the "healthy memory" he forged every day became her only analgesic against brain metastasis...
