In 2077, when memories can be edited, traded, or even forged, Ling Xiu, the top memory appraiser in Xinhai City, makes a living by dissecting other people's memories. He is like a cold digital ghost, walking through the abyss of countless memories that are difficult to distinguish true from false, firmly believing that data does not lie, until he receives a seemingly ordinary case of industrial espionage. A memory that has been identified as "flawless" actually hides the signature of a "Void Painter" who only belongs to urban legend.
In order to pursue the truth, Ling Xiu stepped into the gray area outside his own rules. He meets the woman whose identity is a mystery - she is both like an artist who creates memories and a thief who steals souls. The two got closer amidst suspicion and temptation, but step by step they were involved in a huge conspiracy that could subvert the entire social order. When the truth he relies on for survival is completely shattered, and when the pain of the past intertwines with the implanted lies, Ling Xiu must make a choice: embrace a false dream, or find the final dignity of "humanity" in the cruel reality.
