Have you ever wondered whether powerful emotions can condense into physical objects? The most profound sorrow, twisted love, and deep-seated resentment... They turn into “anomalous objects” with strange rules, lurking quietly in the shadows of the city.
Lin Che, an ordinary psychology student, accidentally touches a pair of dark red ballet shoes while working at a secondhand bookstore. From then on, he is drawn into a bizarre world of anomalies. He discovers that he has a strange ability: he can empathize with and sense the obsessions and trauma behind these “emotional anomalies.”
When the cool and rational official organization known as the “Containment Bureau” offers him a place, and the deranged “Entropy” organization, which believes in “emotional evolution,” sets its sights on him, Lin Che has no choice but to join forces with Leng Yue, his powerful, ice-cold partner, and embark on a perilous journey to unravel the rules governing one anomalous object after another.
Rather than destroy anomalies with violence, he dissolves their obsessions through understanding. But as the investigation deepens, he discovers that his exceptionally powerful empathy may not be innate at all, and that behind the emotional imbalance engulfing the entire world lies a vast conspiracy capable of overturning everything...
