In the giant city "Yongyao City", the glory of science and technology shines everywhere. Through a brain-computer interface called "Dream Weaver", all citizens can enter a carefree and sweet dream every night, and the society is harmonious and efficient. Yet beneath the shadow of this utopia lies a silent sacrifice.
Ling Chen is a "dream purifier" living in Xiacheng District. His job is to clean up the "garbage" in dream data. He was numb and calm until one day, deep in the lines of code, he glimpsed a well-planned scam: the so-called dream paradise was nothing but a "psychic cage" to harvest human spiritual energy. Those who "failed" in their sleep, including his sister, became the fuel to maintain the city's false prosperity.
When the pieces of the truth are picked up, he becomes the enemy of the entire city. Under the guidance of the legendary hacker "Data Ghost", Ling Chen was forced to change from a dust person who just wanted to survive to a rebel against the "gods".
Walking through the streets where neon lights and acid rain intersect, and sneaking into the deep web composed of consciousness and data, what he wants to challenge is the supreme being who created this "perfect" prison - the Architect.
This is a war of wills. Choose false happiness, or embrace painful reality? When the cage is broken, is it the dawn of hope or the deeper darkness?
