Wang Yingying is an ordinary young woman who works at an antique restoration shop. After accidentally touching an ancient mirror engraved with iris patterns, she awakens the “Mirror Realm Resonance System,” a special System powered by “memories.” It can analyze the traces of memories left behind on objects and turn them into “mirror-image skills.” But the System comes with a deadly price: every time she uses a skill, it consumes one of her own memories. If she relies too heavily on the power of the Mirror Realm, the remnants reflected in the mirror will overwhelm her consciousness, trapping her forever in a labyrinth of memories.
Amid the neon lights and shadows of the city, Wang Yingying discovers that countless “memory manifesters” are hiding among those around her. Some profit by deciphering the memories of antiques; others use mirror-image skills to alter people’s memories. There is also a mysterious organization, the Mirror-Burning Society, devoted to destroying all objects and abilities connected to the Mirror Realm. As she struggles to protect her own memories and resist the Mirror Realm’s influence, she must uncover the secret behind the ancient mirror. It is not only the vessel for the System, but also the “key” connecting reality to the Mirror Realm. And the childhood memories she has lost are intimately tied to the “source of memory” deep within the Mirror Realm.
This is no simple journey of leveling up her abilities, but a struggle over memory, identity, and choice. As the remnants in the mirror begin to develop minds of their own and the boundary between reality and memory grows increasingly blurred, Wang Yingying will finally understand: true power does not come from devouring memories, but from holding on to the most precious part of yourself at the edge of forgetting.
