In the neon city "Garden of Eden" of 2077, one billion creatures live and work in peace and contentment in a carefully constructed digital illusion, knowing nothing about the real world of decay. Data genius Ling Feng, a top hacker who walks on the edge of the network, codenamed "Code", accidentally got involved in a strange data flow. It was not an ordinary fault, but a real echo from outside the "Garden of Eden". This forbidden truth made him wake up from a dream and began to doubt the meaning of his existence.
In order to pursue this breathtaking truth, Ling Feng sought the help of Ye Zhao, a mysterious "restorer" on the streets, whose code name is "Xinxing". Ye Zhao, a pragmatist who makes a living by selling rare illegal technology and intelligence, initially scorned Ling Feng's "delusion", but in dangerous cooperations one after another, they were gradually involved in a shocking conspiracy about survival and freedom. They must sneak into the core matrix of the "Garden of Eden", uncover the cruel truth behind this perfect illusion, and decide the future of mankind: Should they continue to indulge in false tranquility, or bravely face the collapsing reality? A cyberpunk thriller about the awakening of consciousness, self-identity and free will begins.
