"His power is to weave memories. The price is forgetting himself."
At a coffee shop in Linhai City's old district that stays open late into the night, the manager, Lin Mo, has a secret identity: a psychic ability user known as the "Memory Weaver." By touching something or meeting someone's gaze, he can read the emotional memories left behind on objects and project memories as illusions.
The price is that each time he uses his ability, he randomly forgets one of his own memories.
From what he ate for breakfast to the afternoon his older sister taught him to ride a bike. The more he forgets, the further he drifts from himself.
Three years ago, his older sister, Lin Tang, vanished under mysterious circumstances. While investigating, Lin Mo touched her comb and saw a hazy vision: his sister being taken away by people in black uniforms, mouthing the words, "Don't come looking for me."
That was the moment his powers awakened, and the beginning of his forgetting.
Now he has become caught up in a conspiracy far bigger than a disappearance.
The mysterious government organization known as the Order Bureau has the secrets of every ability user in its grasp and believes that "concealment comes above all else." The underground group known as the Hollow Rats struggles to survive in the cracks, while the radicals of the Burning Prairie will stop at nothing to break the rules of concealment.
The truth behind the Order Bureau's top-secret Abyss Project lies deep in Lin Mo's own memories. It is a "key" his sister left him using the last of her power.
The Order Bureau's shadowy surveillance isn't the only thing following him. There is also Ji Xun, an enforcer with a slight limp in his right leg and a conflicted heart.
The only person who brings him warmth is Su Wan, a lively, perceptive reporter and regular customer at his coffee shop. She's drawing closer to his secrets, step by step, and will also become his weakness.
