By day, Lu Chen is a corporate drudge who gets blamed for everything. At night, he can enter other people’s dreams. He is a “dreamwalker,” passing judgment on evildoers in their dreams as he searches for his mother, who disappeared seven years ago.
That is, until he meets An Ning in the misty Dream Domain. She’s an illustrator treated like a monster, able to paint light, doors, and a silver ring that heals everything into existence in dreams. She has been painting for six years, always waiting for the figure she saw in her dreams.
Together, they venture into the nightmares of abusers, the illusions of romance scammers, and the deepest memories of human traffickers. With each dream judgment, they draw closer to the truth behind his mother’s disappearance. But every time Lu Chen intervenes in a dream, his body darkens a little more. The silver rings An Ning paints are his only defense against the corruption.
The truth comes to light: fragments of his mother’s consciousness have been protecting him deep within the Dream Domain, and the doors in those dreams are the only clues she left behind.
As the dream world begins to collapse, Lu Chen finally understands: the person An Ning has been waiting for all these years, the figure she has painted for six years, has been by his side all along.
She is the only light in his long night.
