In the cities of the near future, breakthroughs in brain-computer interface technology will allow 'consciousness sharing' and 'memory implantation' to penetrate into the lives of ordinary people. As technology changes, multiple character lines gradually intersect: Lin Siyuan, a rational and calm R&D engineer, accidentally discovers the ethical doubts behind the brain-computer interface project; Fang Miao, who has long provided emotional counseling to urban white-collar workers, gradually loses the boundaries of his own consciousness while helping others find themselves; Gao Jun, a member of the underground network organization "The Rifters", plans various consciousness manipulation events and challenges social rules in the name of technological awakening; Yue Xichuan, leader of the consciousness crime investigation team, leads the police team to pursue increasingly bizarre cases and solve the mystery of his family's consciousness; while independent reporter Zhou Ruolan is involved in consciousness invasion and identity crisis while exposing the shady story of technology and reality traps. In the ten volumes of the story, each protagonist witnesses the huge rifts in technology, ethics, emotion and social order through self-struggle and intertwined connections. In the end, they stood on the edge of the 'reality gap' and chose the way forward, facing the ultimate torture of human nature.
