Huo Yi wakes up in the morgue with an unfamiliar metal device embedded in her left chest. When she touches an autopsy report, she can feel the killer’s delight. She is a survivor of a genetic experiment, a “Resonator,” whose power comes at the cost of her happy memories.
To uncover the truth behind her family’s massacre, she forms a team with Jiu Fang Que, a Taiji master whose loyalties are hard to pin down; Sen Ran, a medical prodigy; and Zhou Yao, a hacker. From organ trafficking at an underground clinic to the “Resin Specimen Case” at an art academy, the clues point to a mysterious organization. When Huo Yi is forced into a memory gladiator arena, she discovers that the most painful betrayal stems from memories she altered herself.
Transmigrated back to the scene of the massacre, she is forced to relive history as the killer. During the final battle aboard a sinking cruise ship, Jiu Fang Que cuts off the long hair he cherishes to buy her a chance to survive. In the end, Huo Yi uses her battered abilities to build a sanctuary, only to receive a distress signal from a parallel world on a stormy night. The metal rose-shaped scar glows gold, and a new cycle is about to begin.
