"Self Reset" is a modern psychological horror novel that is very thought-provoking. Freelance designer Lin Fan's originally peaceful life was completely disrupted by a pair of new neighbors who behaved to perfection. What followed were strange network fluctuations, a constant low hum in the wall late at night, and subtle changes in his own habits that were difficult to explain - the inexplicable appearance of sugar in his coffee, the unfamiliar melody humming in his mouth. He was horrified to find that his neighbors seemed to be able to predict the future and even began to influence the residents of the entire building. No one believed his warning, and his close friends and girlfriend thought he was under too much pressure. It wasn't until he took the risk to sneak into his neighbor's house that he witnessed the horrifying truth: it was not a residence, but a lair filled with cold cabinets and torrent of data, which was silently scanning, analyzing and synchronizing everyone's lives. Lin Fan became an "error code" in the system. He must find a way to resist this silent invasion before he is completely "optimized" and reset, otherwise he will lose not only his privacy, but his entire self.

The well-known curator Shen Weixi was found dead in the bathroom of his home. The scene was luxurious but filled with a strange sense of incongruity. All the surveillance evidence coldly points to her taciturn husband Gu Yu - he was the only person who entered and exited the bedroom on the night of the murder. When he was arrested, Gu Yu's defense lawyer Tan Fei dropped a bombshell: a mysterious recording from his deceased wife Shen Weixi herself. "Remember, you must appear on the surveillance camera from three to four in the morning... Only then can you have a perfect alibi." At the same time, forensic doctor Xin Yi submitted a shocking report, correcting the time of death to after four o'clock. The husband's suspicion has not yet been cleared. Chu Yao, a reporter related to the "Pandora" project secretly investigated by Shen Weixi, was brutally silenced, leaving similar bloody symbols at the scene. Immediately afterwards, gallery assistant Fang Jing, who knew the inside story, was also pursued to death. With the help of lawyer Tan Fei, Gu Yu must move forward along the dangerous puzzle created by his late wife, and find the amazing secret she guarded with her death in the intertwining of memories and reality. The old detective Zhong Yi pursued the case on two fronts, capturing clues of the real murderer in the gap between science and lies. When "Pandora's" box is forcibly opened, the black conspiracy spanning the worlds of art and technology gradually reveals its fangs. The dead wife's chess game has already been played out, and everyone is a pawn. Behind love and sacrifice is a more cruel truth. Who is the ultimate winner in the battle of life and death?
