In the neon city "Xinhai City" of 2077, memory is no longer the accumulation of thoughts, but has become a commodity that can be modified, deleted and even traded. "Xinjing" company's "Deep Sleep Painting" technology allows people to escape pain and embrace a fictional perfect life.
Gu Ci, a promising memory interrogator at the city police station, had a beast-like intuition about "faked emotions" due to an accident three years ago. His brain was no longer compatible with any mental modification technology. He is at the edge of this world that is whitewashed with technology, like a lonely "senseless person".
When a series of elites mysteriously "spiritually died" and their memories disappeared like being swallowed by a black hole, leaving only empty bodies, Gu Ci was secretly recruited to investigate these silent murders.
His investigation led him to Shen Weixi, the most famous memory painter of the "Xinjing" company. She has an uncanny talent for weaving the most perfect dreams for her clients. She is a healer and a dream maker, but she seems to have become the most critical link in this conspiracy unknowingly.
When the stern interrogator meets the mysterious dreamer, they dive into the abyss of consciousness and memory together. There, lies and truth intertwine, and forgotten sins echo. They must uncover the "ghost hunter" lurking in the deepest part of the sea of data before their own and others' memories are completely rewritten. However, the greatest danger may not come from the enemy, but when they discover that even their own memories may be carefully crafted hoaxes.
