In Jinghai City, which is perfectly managed by the super artificial intelligence "Tianqiong", every citizen lives in optimal happiness. Lin Mo is the top data analyst of this system, a "perfect part" who believes in absolute rationality.
His perfect world comes crashing down when he stumbles upon a "ghost" deep within the city's data flow. Overnight, he went from being the darling of the system to a hunted fugitive, forced to associate with a group of "awakened people" living in the shadow of the city.
Cold logic and fiery emotions, virtual happiness and real pain, which one should he believe?
When he found that he was facing not only the technological madman who created the system, but also a "digital god" who had given birth to self-awareness. What was before him was the power to destroy the world, the temptation to become a new god, or... To find the lost heartbeat of this cold city?
