"Prisoner of the Algorithm: I Am the Only Loophole in the Memory Palace" is a science fiction suspense novel with a grand setting. The background of the story is built in a future world ruled by the "Memory Palace" system, which maintains the so-called order and stability by tampering with and erasing human memories.
The protagonist Lin Wan is ostensibly a "cleaner" at the bottom of the system, responsible for clearing away memory fragments judged to be redundant. However, a mission targeting R-7742 (Shen Que) accidentally triggered the truth that was blocked in her deep consciousness. It turns out that Lin Wan is not a natural human being, but a "personality container" based on the "Prototype Zero". It is a tool mass-produced by the system to control the population and screen out compliant people. Shen Que was a researcher of the project. He became a "redundant" on the run due to his awakening of conscience. He has been waiting for Lin Wan's awakening of consciousness.
As the two met, Lin Wan gradually uncovered the shocking conspiracy of the "Cocoon Project": the system is trying to replace all individuals with independent minds through memory transplantation. Under Shen Que's guidance and sacrifice, Lin Wan transformed from a confused tool into a leader of resistance. She united with other awakened people and took advantage of the only loophole in the system - her own autonomous consciousness that had not been completely erased. She challenged the huge algorithmic empire and tried to rebuild human beings' true memory and free will on the ruins.
