[2040·Global Identity Chain Era]
The cruelest death in the world is never to stop breathing, but to be completely erased from the world.
Clear fingerprints, cancel iris, invalidate voiceprint, and clear files. You are obviously alive, but the system says: There is no such person.
Lin Xi is a secret "substitute" in the city. She rents out her face, identity and life to see people for the last time, attend meetings and perform duties for them, and live out the rest of their boring life for them. She collects money to do things, never asks for secrets, and lives soberly and indifferently.
Until a pot of pothos with no sender fell in front of her door out of thin air. It was the last trace of her mother, who had been missing for three years. But all the mother's life trajectory and proof of existence have been completely erased, leaving only the cold four-character record of the system: No such person found.
The dark underbelly of a glamorous city has been completely exposed. This city is silently "devouring living people" every day. Some people have their identities cancelled, some have their tracks tampered with, and some have their entire lives stolen. People in the dark manipulate the rules, use the fortunes of mortals, create false fates, and sell the rest of their lives in bulk.
And every time she borrowed her life and face, they were written into the ancient destiny book stroke by stroke by the mysterious Ji Ran.
He controls the fate of people in the world, looks down at the ups and downs of all sentient beings with a cold eye, is indifferent and has no desire, but is obsessed with her every step of the way, making exceptions, and refuses to let her return to vanity.
When identities can be mortgaged, lives can be traded, and existence can be erased by the system. Is a life that has been tampered with still considered life?
If the self is not recognized by the world, is it still me?
