In the era of imaginary numbers, "conceptual fog" shrouded the world. In the name of "absolute truth", the Parliament tampered with people's memories and mass-produced "fake happiness cans" in an attempt to tame everyone into controllable "conceptual shadows". Ji Ling, a "semi-being" with a transparent right half of his body, survives in the empty market area by picking up fragments of memories in the mist. However, thanks to a resonance core, he reunites with his ten-year-lost brother and sister in the Bifurcated Mirror Alley - Shen Yan, a hyperreal entity, and Yao Qing, with a wounded prosthetic eye. The three of them are survivors of the taboo experiment in Critical Village.
The council is pursuing madly, memory fragments are constantly being tampered with, and the strength of existence continues to weaken... The semi-existential body is a curse, but it has also become a sharp blade to pierce false hegemony. They traveled through the black market to collect memory anchors and activated the resonance core at the Mist Exchange. Due to their symbiotic constitution of "real existence-imaginary number-scar", they were involved in factional struggles within the parliament.
Intention: The meaning of existence lies in accepting all truth and imperfections, and fighting the lie of "absolute perfection" with symbiosis
