In the 21st century, the "Garden of Eden System" has domesticated human beings with extreme material supplies. Most people have become "hollow people" with no independent thinking and no spiritual perception. The unassimilated high-IQ groups suffer the backlash of loneliness and resentment in their waking lives. Qiu Zhanyue, a genius neuroscientist, was ostracized by the academic community and lived in isolation because his research on "mental degeneration" touched upon systemic taboos. She accidentally discovered the legend of the "living city god crossing the world" in ancient books, and followed the clues to find the Immortal Emperor (pseudonym Qingfeng) who was transformed into a restorer of ancient books. Qiu Zhanyue used a scientific perspective to dismantle the essence of "spiritual desolation", which complemented Qingfeng's concept of divine redemption. The two teamed up to design an awakening plan, but when they were about to break through, they encountered a joint strangulation by the capital and power behind the system. In order to protect the awakening core data and Qiu Zhanyue, Qingfeng sacrificed his own divinity and turned into ashes. With the only spark of hope, Qiu Zhanyue used her high intelligence to engage in a life-and-death game with the enemy amidst the ubiquitous surveillance and pursuit. However, she witnessed the death of her companions when she was close to success time and time again. In the end, although she tore apart a corner of the system, she could only watch the glimmer of light gradually dim in the huge darkness, and she remained in the world to continue a tragic struggle with no end.
