In the highly cybernetic Xinhai City, the Titan Group monopolizes technology and divides the city into a glamorous headquarters and a gray bottom floor. Hacker "Zero" (Lin Wen) specializes in cracking Titan vulnerabilities, but during an intrusion, he intercepts forbidden files: the only "consciousness transplant" experimental subject number points to the group's security director Shen Qing.
Zero approaches this "mechanical beauty" as a prank and discovers that Shen Qing is the product of Titan's fusion of the deceased scientist's consciousness and the mechanical body, and is being secretly controlled. During the confrontation, Shen Qing became wary of Ling and became tempted. The two formed an alliance to reveal the truth, but were countered by Titan - Shen Qing's memory was formatted to protect Ling, and he became Ling's mortal enemy.
Zero puts aside his cynicism and unites the resistance forces to declare war on the Titans. In the duel, Shen Qing, who had lost her memory, was bound by her subconscious and made her miss frequently, causing fragments of her memory to flash back. In the end, Zero awakened Shen Qing at the headquarters with a determined attitude of "chasing his wife", and the two teamed up to detonate the control core, opening up the dawn of reconstruction for Xinhai City.

I like the theme of dual heroines, and I also like cyberpunk. It hit me hard [laughing] Lin Wen's codename "Zero" is also my favorite Ling Boli (Zero) in EVA. It feels more familiar. This is my second novel, and I chose a subject I like. Cyberpunk is also one of my favorite games. Although I haven't played it for long, I hope this "Cyberpunk" can have a perfect ending!
