In Xinhai City in 2077, memory is no longer private property, but a commodity that can be extracted, edited, and traded. Gu Chuan, a "memory organizer" who makes a living by organizing and deleting bad memories for people, lives a life of fishing, complaining, and counting money. His life creed is: No matter how wonderful other people's memories are, they are not as important as one's own nap.
Until a seemingly simple commission to "delete embarrassing memories" dragged him into a bottomless whirlpool. Deep in the client's memory, he accidentally discovered a "ghost fragment" that belonged to no one - the image of a mysterious woman, and an encrypted message pointing to the giant technology oligarch "Yongyi Technology".
Overnight, he went from an ordinary person who just wanted to make a little money to the most wanted criminal in the city. Deadly electronic ghosts track him online, and unknown killers surround him in reality. In order to protect himself and to uncover the mystery surrounding himself, Gu Chuan had to join forces with the most unreliable allies: an underground intelligence dealer with social phobia, and an AI conspiracy theorist who firmly believed that "lizard men" rule the world.
As he dived into the deep sea of memory step by step, he discovered that the conspiracy was far larger and more terrifying than he had imagined. It is not just one person's memory that has been tampered with, but the "reality" of the entire world. And his own forgotten past seems to be the key to unlocking all mysteries.
