In Xinjing City, rain is the eternal background sound and memory is the currency in circulation.
Ling Su is a "painter of forgetfulness". His brush is not paint, but a neural code that can rewrite the past. He dives into the depths of his clients' broken hearts and covers the bloody scars with fictitious warmth in exchange for a reward that can paralyze him. He was both skilled and insensitive to it. He believes that happiness is a technology that can be chosen, and reality is worthless.
Until an ordinary mission, he discovered a "ghost fragment" deep in the memory of a powerful man that belonged to no one - a girl crying in the firelight, a emblem that he had never seen but felt a sharp pain in his heart.
This fragment was like a virus, instantly activating the blank area in his mind that was covered by layers. Passing customers begin to die mysteriously, and invisible pursuers emerge from the shadows of the city. The technology he relies on for a living is dragging him into an abyss built of lies.
In order to survive and find the girl, Ling Su was forced to embark on a road of no return. He will be an enemy of the memory archaeologists who believe in "truth first", an enemy of the giant company that controls the memory lifeline of the entire city, and ultimately, an enemy of the "self" who was buried by his own hands.
When everything forgotten surges back, will he choose to embrace the cruel truth, or indulge in a perfect lie?
