At two o'clock in the morning, the accountant Lin Che received a deletion work order: the personality to be deleted, Meng Huilan, 52 years old, was the owner of a wonton stall - her mother.
In 2052, after a person dies, his or her personality is uploaded to the cloud. Only by renewing the subscription on a monthly basis can the person keep the phrase "Remember to put on some clothes when the temperature is cooling down." After 72 hours of discontinuation, the personality will be deleted. The accountant is the person who performs the deletion for the system.
My mother's signature on the "Consent Form for Personality Construction" was forged—she was comatose in the ICU on the day it was signed. The daughter rejected the order and followed the fake signature to check: Who signed for a comatose person? Why did someone want to "borrow" her mother's personality? How many of the 1,432 deleted personalities she had handled had been tampered with?
There are only 23 hours left before forced deletion. There is only one thing she has to do: steal her mother out of the machine.
