In the super-large city "Xinhai" in 2088, memory has become a commodity that can be extracted, edited and even traded. "Memory Weaver" Lin Jian is an expert who can sneak into the depths of other people's consciousness and repair broken memories. He relies on his unparalleled empathy ability and superb neural interaction technology to find lost time for clients. However, when a mysterious woman named Ye Xingtong came for help with a memory that was deliberately torn apart and full of violence and contradictions, Lin Jian found himself involved in a conspiracy far beyond imagination.
In this memory, there are not only weapons that do not belong to this era, but also weird digital watermarks pointing to the "chronological gene" of the top technology giant. Every in-depth exploration is like dancing on the tip of a knife. Lin Jian not only has to face the fatal traps implanted in his memory, but also beware of the ubiquitous surveillance and pursuit in reality. Ye Xingtong's identity is confusing. Who is she? A victim, or a carefully disguised decoy?
As Lin Jian gradually pieced together the truth, he was forced to face a terrifying question: If memory can be created and personality can be programmed, then where is the boundary of "self"? What he is exploring is not only a woman's past, but also the truth about human souls that are about to be submerged in the torrent of technology.
