Year 2068, China. The leap in technology has brought about "digital immortality" technology. The core of this technology is to build a "personality matrix" that is infinitely closer to the person by analyzing all the data left behind by a person during his or her lifetime - diaries, letters, works, images, social traces, and even potential personality tendencies in the genetic sequence. This matrix is not a simple AI. It has independent thinking logic, emotional response and memory database. It is an almost perfect digital copy of the soul.
Initially, this technology was used to commemorate deceased loved ones. But soon, capital sensed the unparalleled business opportunities. "The Pantheon", a mysterious company headquartered in Xinhai City, China, monopolizes the top applications of this technology. They began to reproduce the most brilliant souls in history - poets, philosophers, artists, scientists, encapsulating their personality matrices in special "spiritual carriers", and conducting secret auctions.
These "personality goods" have become the ultimate luxury goods pursued by the world's top wealthy people. They buy these "souls", some to find a mentor and friend across time and space, some to satisfy unknown spiritual comfort, and more to use them as unique collections to show off their wealth and power.
In this bizarre era, the boundaries between humanity, memory and soul have become blurred as never before.
