2123, New Tokyo. Humans pursue immortality through mechanical modification and customize perfection through gene editing. Lin Wanxing, a "defective" semi-mechanical heart, received a last message ten years after his mother's mysterious death: "The Eden Project is not redemption, it is elimination."
In order to uncover the truth, she disguised herself and sneaked into the underground black market, only to find that she had already been included in the "gardener's" pruning list. In the pursuit of life and death, she was forced to cooperate with another person on the list - Gu Linyuan, the chief architect of the "Eternal Life Cloud" and one of the creators of this perfect world.
He fell from the clouds, she climbed from the abyss. The two met in the steel jungle built by lies, from suspicion to symbiosis, from use to delivery. When the mechanical heart collided with the flesh and blood body, and when the crown of thorns stung the wearer's palm, they discovered that the fruits of the "Garden of Eden" were already poisonous.
This is a war about the definition of human beings: Do we evolve into more efficient machines, or do we retain our imperfect but precious humanity? When love becomes the last line of code that cannot be programmed, can two incomplete souls rebuild human dignity and freedom in the flood of data?
"The sharpest sword is hidden in the softest place; the most precious crown is made of thorns."
