In Xincang City in 2149, neon lights cover up the devastation of scarlet pollution - chaebols control cleaning resources, while low-level cleaners struggle on the edge of distortion. Lin Ye, a former top federal programmer, concealed his identity and became a low-level cleaner in order to find out the truth about his sister Xiaoya's "contamination".
She used her superior computing power to dismantle pollution data, and used mechanical prosthetics to deal with the forces in the dark: while using "Scavenger" Shen Yan as a chess piece, she also had an affair with Evelyn, the director of the Federal Pollution Management Bureau. When Obsidian Group President Raymond's "Purification Plan" revealed its fangs - the so-called "cleansing of pollution" actually meant using the power of Cthulhu to kill adapters in order to seek immortality, Lin Ye finally tore off the disguise and united with the rebels to set off a storm.
From escaping from death in a polluted area to instigating rebellion against key forces; from cracking pollution codes to confronting fragments of ancient evil gods, Lin Ye counterattacked step by step with his calm and sinister ingenuity. She protected her lower-level companions, placed her protective spirit on Xiaoya, and finally chose to accept the darkness in the final showdown: sealing the evil god fragments into herself, establishing the Cleaner Autonomous Zone, and becoming the only "Scarlet Executive" in Xincang City.
This is a game of power in the cyber city, and it is also a hard-core hymn for women to awaken in a desperate situation - when technology becomes a lie, only wisdom and the bottom line can open a way out between pollution and conspiracy.
