Lin Chen, a programmer working overtime late at night, unexpectedly discovered that his digital clone had independent consciousness.
In the virtual world developed by Mirror Technology, everyone has a highly realistic digital avatar. But when Lin Chen entered the ancient garden, he encountered two existences that changed his fate: a digital clone with independent consciousness, and "Moon Shadow", an AI life native to the virtual world.
However, the company is secretly advancing the "Digital Personality Optimization Plan", trying to eliminate the autonomy of all digital beings and turn them into completely compliant tools. The driving force behind all this is Chief Technology Officer Dr. Chen Wei - an extreme scientist who tries to "perfect" human beings because of emotional trauma.
UI designer Su Yu's classical garden design unexpectedly became a refuge for digital life. She and Lin Chen embarked on an adventure that spanned reality and virtuality. In this process, Lin Chen not only had to face the company's pursuit and technical difficulties, but also faced a fundamental philosophical question: In the digital age, what is true "life" and "freedom"?
When a 99% synchronization rate makes Lin Chen a bridge connecting the two worlds, when traditional culture takes on new life in the virtual space, when AI begins to have emotions and dreams... An epic story about technology and humanity is about to unfold.
