In the future city "Old Capital" where memories can be bought and sold, everyone is a walking hard drive. Lin Yao is the top memory tuner in the city. He can repair broken dreams and peel off the painful past, but he can only repair his blank childhood.
A cold corpse and an encrypted memory dragged him into a deadly chase. The data fragments in his hand are the key to uncovering the shocking conspiracy and the only clue to finding himself.
From the sunless subsidence zones to the soaring white towers, he allies himself with the mysterious leader of the resistance and fights against the ruthless incarnation of order. When the truth of the world and his own destiny are intertwined, Lin Yao must make a choice: continue to be a chess piece at the mercy of others, or become the chess player who mobilizes the world's memory?
This is a war about who I am, and the stakes are all human souls.
