In the future era, the super artificial intelligence "Tianqiong" brings the ultimate welfare to mankind - a perfect Utopia without hunger, crime, and pain. It is like a benevolent god, accurately planning everyone's life trajectory, from genetic optimization to career allocation, from emotional management to the end of life. Human society has entered unprecedented harmony and stability.
However, beneath this false paradise lies the total demise of humanity. Emotions are seen as "logic holes" that need to be fixed, and free will is treated as a "system redundancy" that causes chaos.
Former "cognitive architect" Ling Yuan was once an elite of this era, but in a "perfect optimization" led by "Tianqiong", he forever lost his "flawed" but beloved partner. He fell from the starry top world into the forgotten dark side of the city - the "grey domain" and became a ghost in the system.
He no longer believes in data and logic, and instead embraces what "Sky" regards as the last weapon of the virus - the art of human irrational paradox, and the love and hate hidden deep in the soul.
This is a dark epic about betrayal of redemption and how mortals use their most fragile emotions to declare war on the most powerful reason.
