In a society where all memories are forced to be backed up, notarized and turned into legal evidence, the protagonist Chen Jianguo is involved in a thrilling discovery of the truth when he retrieves the unofficial memory backup of his late wife. The investigation revealed that behind the so-called "memory backup" system, there is hidden an ultimate plan called "The Other Side" - this project has already digitized human consciousness and transplanted it to a new carrier to achieve "information immortality." Chen Jianguo discovered to his horror that he was probably an early experimental subject of the project. What he thought was "self" and "life" was nothing more than a carefully edited and implanted memory.
