In 2157 AD, the earth's resources are exhausted. Human beings rely on synthetic nutritional pastes to survive. Their sense of taste gradually deteriorates and their emotional connections become increasingly thin. An unknown phenomenon called "Miyuan" suddenly appeared - strange ingredients appeared in many places around the world. They are not natural products, but they can accurately awaken human beings' forgotten taste memories. Bioengineer Shen Zhao was ordered to participate in the research of "Weiyuan ingredients" and discovered that behind these ingredients was a civilization that spanned multi-dimensional space, the "Taotie Tribe". This civilization takes "taste" as the foundation of civilization, encodes human emotions, memories, and civilization processes into food ingredients, and attempts to guide humans to rebuild their sense of taste through the "abyss of taste" to complete a cross-civilization "taste enlightenment." However, with the widespread use of food ingredients, humans began to suffer from collective memory confusion and social structure turmoil. Shen Zhao gradually realized that behind the "gifts" of the "Taotie Tribe" was a game about the survival of civilization - if human beings accept their food ingredients, they will be included in their civilization system; if they refuse, they may become extinct due to the degradation of their taste. In a desperate situation where cracks appear in the laws of time and space and alien civilization approaches step by step, Shen Zhao unites a group of awakened "taste resisters" and tries to find a third path for mankind between the origin of civilization and its ultimate destination.
