The story revolves around a disruptive technology, the "Spiritual Pivot System" - it can transform the strongest human emotions into the energy that keeps society running. Emotions have since become a "tax" that must be paid, and those who extract too much will become a numb "heart ruin".
Lin Duanxian, the former top executive of the System Security Bureau, personally sent his lover and scientist Shen Zhubei, who discovered the fatal flaw in the system, into the "Xinxuization" program. Just when she thought she was defending order, Shen Zhubei returned as a "ghost" and used precise acts of destruction to reveal the truth about the system's "burning" of humanity. Forced to flee, Lin Duanxian witnessed the cruelty of the system in the ruins at the bottom, and finally took over Shen Zhubei's unfinished mission - to launch the "Nirvana" plan that could dismantle the "Lingshu". However, she discovered that the final key to initiating "Nirvana" was actually her own core, which was regarded as a "high-density emotional body."
From the ruthless "Dream Weaver" to the sin-bearing exile, to the "Nirvana" itself that was martyred, Lin Duanxian's journey is a sacrifice burned with the old world. At the same time, Marcus, the mad scientist of the "Purification Faction", the remnant force of the system, transformed Lin Duanxian's old enemy Su Rui into the "Shadow Queen" who carries resentment, vowing to drag the world into absolute darkness. The ultimate showdown between light and shadow unfolded in the ruins of the Rust Belt, and ended with Lin Duanxian's complete dissipation and the purification of the shadows.
