In the future 2035, in the coastal city "Jinghai City" where technology and desire are intertwined, a "memory core" technology that can tamper and trade memories is monopolized by the elite and becomes the ultimate tool for class solidification. The story begins when Su Mian, the wife of the well-known writer Lu Zhiyuan and a doctor of brain science, mysteriously disappeared after completing a key research. The official determined that she committed suicide.
A year later, when Lu Zhiyuan was sorting out his belongings, he accidentally triggered a fragment of Su Mian's memory asking for help that had been preset in his subconscious. She did not commit suicide, but was silenced because of the dark truth involving the "Memory Core" technology. This discovery is the starting point for the story's central conflict: the confrontation between the individual's search for the truth and the manipulation of collective memory by vast capital groups.
Lu Zhiyuan transformed into a "memory catcher" and sneaked into the underground memory black market. The key turning point in the story occurred when he met the talented hacker girl Nan Xing. The two join forces to gradually uncover a plan called "Pure Land" - the powerful are trying to cleanse the public of their original memories of freedom and resistance and build a "brave new world" of absolute obedience. During the investigation, they encountered a crazy pursuit from the "Yihe" interest group-Chenxing Group. The obstruction of its chief security officer Gao Yan made every step forward pay a heavy price.
