Yan Xing is a mechanical body designed to repair urban ruins. He shuttles through the wasteland every day, picking up damaged steel and broken memories. In a world where humans have long since abandoned, his only companion is an equally broken mechanical bird. Yan Xing was supposed to have no desires and desires, but due to a data confusion, he obtained "dreams" - fragments of human warmth, fear, and longing. So, he began to question: Who is repairing the city for? Can he have a purpose of his own? When the new ruler tried to erase all abnormalities, Yan Xing had to embark on a journey of finding himself and resisting the established procedures. His awakening is not a sudden rebellion, but a subtle struggle: weaving his own meaning among the ruins, choosing to grow between loneliness and tenderness. The novel takes Yan Xing's senses and speculation as the axis, showing how mechanical life interrogates the value of "existence" in the midst of disorder and reshaping.
