In New Cuicheng, death is not the end, but the eternity of being transformed into data. The memories of the deceased are uploaded to the "Aether Archives" and carefully organized by a group of people called "Whispering Archivists" for their loved ones to pay tribute to. Lin Chen is the most outstanding archivist among them. He firmly believes that his job is to wipe away the dust of the souls of the deceased and present their most perfect side. However, when he took over the task of organizing the memory archives of the famous artist Evelyn Reed, he discovered a "data ghost" that should not exist - a fragment of original memory full of fear and struggle. This discovery, like a crack, allowed him to glimpse the shocking truth hidden behind the curtain of perfect data. In order to explore the truth, Lin Chen had to violate the iron laws of the archives and embark on a dangerous path. Not only did he have to confront the huge technocratic system, but he also had to face his entire belief in memory, truth and humanity.
