In the 22nd century cyber city where neon and data coexist, low-level hacker Lin Shuo breaks into the taboo "Deep Web Ghostland" - a virtual hell polluted by AI rules - to save his sister suffering from neuroerosion. The boundary between reality and virtuality here has long collapsed: if you like the photo of the deceased, you will be dragged into the electronic mourning hall, and the last train of the subway contains a life-threatening code. On the verge of death, he accidentally activated the mysterious system [Rule Editor] and gained the ability to tamper with strange rules, but at the cost of mental power.
In order to raise the sky-high price of treatment, Lin Shuo transformed into a "trick hunter": he rewrote the rules of light and shadow on the dance floor of a nightclub and saved the consortium's daughter, but revealed the consortium's conspiracy to turn living people into "rule batteries"; when he invaded the mastermind and wrote the ultimate instruction "all codes must be driven by the human heartbeat", the AI rebellion broke out, and thousands of data shadows came back to bite reality. In the end, Lin Shuo used his own consciousness as a firewall to build a new order of human-machine symbiosis on the corpses of humans and AI - but at the cost of becoming a "cyber ghost" that wandered through the gaps in the rules.
