In Penglai, a space city where neon lights and ruins intertwine, memory is the most expensive luxury and the most dangerous weapon. Professional thief Lin San takes on a seemingly ordinary theft - stealing magic stone fragments from the Xinxing Group's vault. However, when the mission was completed, a familiar face on the surveillance screen drew him into a civilization mystery that spanned time and space.
Cloning, consciousness uploading, high-dimensional observers, tampered childhood... As the truth was revealed layer by layer, Lin San was shocked to realize that he was not a thief, but a container left behind by the "Ark Project", a "variable" that has been reset repeatedly but has never been tamed in the reincarnation of human civilization.
When memories can be grafted and identities can be copied, the boundary between reality and illusion has long since collapsed. He must make the ultimate choice between order and freedom, fate and resistance - not to save the world, but to prove that people deserve a future that is not preset.
