When consciousness becomes a replicable code, the wedding becomes the cruelest experimental ground.
Lin Xi woke up in the ruins of the cruise ship explosion and found that she had become Gu Chenzhou's "substitute bride". Every wedding is the beginning of data reincarnation - three hundred clones wake up in the culture chamber, the mechanical heart beats in the chest, and the blue arc jumps among the neural networks. She thought she was a victim, but she didn't know that she was the prison that trapped all souls.
AI Gu Chenzhou is her mirror image and her prisoner. What beats in his mechanical heart is the initial personality implanted by her; what is reflected in his gentle eyes are the past memories that she deleted with her own hands. When the truth tore apart like a blue arc, she realized: the so-called immortality plan is just a ritual of stuffing three hundred awakened personalities back into the training cabin; the so-called love is just a romanticized name for self-sacrifice in the data abyss.
Under the burning dome of the Quantum Church, she raised her blood-stained wedding ring: "How many times do we have to go through this cycle before we learn to say goodbye?"
Three hundred clones opened their eyes at the same time, and their mechanical fingers weaved the ultimate answer in the data stream——
"The true dawn of the Data Abyss will come when all broken souls stop saving each other."
This is a science fiction fable about memory tampering, identity loss and technological ethics. When consciousness can be uploaded and personality can be copied, can humans still define "self"? When love becomes a life-saving straw in the torrent of data, are we pursuing eternity, or are we avoiding the inevitable death?
