In the "New Arc City" soaked in neon and acid rain, Lin Ji is a "memory scavenger". His job is to sneak into other people's brains and accurately delete those painful and unwilling memory fragments in exchange for a tight livelihood. He is like a ghost wandering in the undercurrent of urban data, erasing other people's past, but unable to fill the hole in his own heart.
Three years ago, an accident took away his wife and daughter, leaving Lin Ji's world only gray. He numbly formatted other people's joys and sorrows, until one rainy night, he found a "package" that was not of this world - a sleeping baby girl in an abandoned "messenger" cargo box.
Her name is Xing Mian, a girl who can neither cry nor laugh. Her words are not sounds but distortions of reality. When she wants to say "light", a warm glow will flow from her fingertips; when she feels "sadness", cold crystals will condense in the air. Her words are the poetry of physical laws.
Lin Ji, who adopted Xing Mian, had a "memory" that she wanted to protect for the first time. However, Xingmian's existence soon attracted the pursuit of the "Eternal Dome", the giant technological complex that created and abandoned her. They call her the "First Dependent Variable", the key to a new era in the universe, and a weapon capable of destroying everything.
A man who makes a living by erasing memories begins his escape across the stars in order to protect a girl whose language is miracles. He will use his hands that have deleted countless lives to reshape a new future for her.
