Ling Jin is the most dangerous ghost hacker on the dark web, but he awakens his memory in a data collapse - he is the son of a starship rebel, and his bloodline is wiped out by the Galactic Federation. Wei Jue, the youngest commander of Leng Yan in the Federation, was ordered to hunt him down, but during the confrontation he discovered that Ling Jin's nerve impulses exactly matched the genetic map he had lost when he was young. When the Federation launches the "Empty Protocol" to format all rebel bloodlines along with their memories, two men torn apart by fate must join forces to rebel in the starship graveyard. Who is controlling their destiny? Is it the system, or the remains of an older civilization?
