In New Victoria City, memory is a commodity that can be extracted, traded, or even erased.
Lin Chuan, a top memory appraiser who just wants to survive in the "rust area" where neon lights and rain are intertwined, his principle is to only talk about business, not right or wrong. Until one day, an amnesiac girl named Ila walked into his office with a "blank" time crystal that could not be read.
This seemingly simple business pushed him into the center of the city's power vortex. The technology giant "Eternal Echo Corporation" sent the most cold-blooded executives to launch an endless pursuit of them. That blank time crystal turned out to be the only key to unlocking the entire city's past that was covered up by lies.
During the escape, Lin Chuan not only had to verify the authenticity of his memories, but also had to face his own dusty trauma. When Ila's true identity was revealed layer by layer, he discovered that what he was protecting was no longer just a girl's past, but the tampered destiny of the entire city.
In an era where reality can be customized, should we choose the painful truth or embrace false happiness? When memory is no longer reliable, how can you prove who "you" are?
