Sleep Beneath Eternal Glory

In the megacity of Eternal Radiance, the glory of technology shines everywhere. Through a brain-computer interface called the Dreamweaver, every citizen enters a sweet, carefree dream each night. Society is harmonious and efficient. But beneath the shadow of this utopia lies a silent sacrifice.

Ling Chen is a “dream purifier” living in the lower district. His job is to clean “garbage” from dream data. He is numb and composed, until one day, buried deep among line after line of code, he glimpses a carefully orchestrated deception: the so-called dream paradise is nothing but a “psychic prison” that harvests human mental energy. Those who “wither away” in their sleep, including his younger sister, have all become fuel for the city’s false prosperity.

As he pieces together the truth, he becomes the enemy of the entire city. Guided by the legendary hacker “Data Ghost,” Ling Chen is forced to transform from a nobody who only wants to survive into a rebel challenging the “gods.”

He traverses streets where neon mingles with acid rain and slips through a vast web woven from consciousness and data. His foe is the supreme being who created this “perfect” prison: the Architect.

This is a war of wills. Choose false happiness, or embrace the painful truth? When the cage is broken, what will emerge: the dawn of hope, or an even deeper darkness?
