In the future world ruled by "Tianqiong Technology", Lin Wanzhao, a low-level data cleaner, has a daily job of deleting "junk data" marked by algorithms. Until she discovered that these data fragments actually encoded pi, and after deciphering it, she got a warning: "The observer effect applies to macroscopic reality."
The next day, she saw the demolished newsstand reappearing in its place. Lin Wanzhao gradually realized that the "junk" she deleted every day was actually a hidden patch that maintained the structure of reality. During the tracking process, she met the wandering hacker Ah Qi and formed a fragile alliance with Chen Rui, the technical director who came to investigate her. Together, they revealed a shocking secret from fifty years ago: the essence of the entire universe is a programmable medium, and Tianqiong Technology is planning to use the name of system upgrade to transform 70% of the world's population into unconscious "background NPCs" to build the "perfect new world" promised by its CEO.
Holding the physical key left by his father, Lin Wanzhao must use the data regarded as garbage to launch a Jedi counterattack before reality is completely formatted.
