In the giant city "New Babylon" of the 23rd century, emotions have already become a commodity with a clear price tag. Happiness can be bought, sadness can be sold, love is just a luxury subscription.
Lin Mo, the top "emotional mediator" of Mind Matrix Company, whose daily job is to deal with emotional bad debts, recover expired happiness, and "update the firmware" of other people's marriages. He is cynical, calculating, and firmly believes that all emotions can be quantified, until he encounters a "fake" happiness chip.
This boring chip invaded his orderly life like a virus. What is involved behind the scenes is the "emotional entropy" crisis sweeping the city, the horrifying secrets that are kept secret within the company, and a ghost named "Code 6377".
In order to protect himself and for a trace of curiosity that had long been extinguished, Lin Mo was forced to embark on a desperate path against the entire world. His only weapon is his heart, which has long been judged as "emotionally dysfunctional" by the system.
In this city built of false emotions, can he find the last true happiness?
