I Inherited the Non-Existent Us

In the near future, people's neural memory can be inherited, repaired and used for judicial evidence collection to a limited extent after death, but digital personality is still regarded as a data product without subject rights. After the accidental death of her husband Gu Chenzhou, memory restorer Zhou Jiming did not receive any personal inheritance, but was entrusted with restoring a set of adult memories in the mind of seventeen-year-old Chen Du. The file shows that the owner of the memory is Gu Chenzhou, which records his twelve-year marriage to Zhou Jiming, while Zhou Jiming only remembers that the two met for six years and were married for four years. As the restoration progresses, multiple conflicting marriages emerge: in some versions, they have a daughter, in some versions, Zhou Jiming has already died, and in some versions, Gu Chenzhou is the one who was created. Obsidian Memory Company, the Personality Rights Supervision Bureau and the underground digital personality organization are competing for Chen Du at the same time because his mind contains the "Continuity Witness Protocol" developed by Gu Chenzhou. This technology allows digital personalities to obtain legal identities through cross-carrier memory continuity. Zhou Jiming gradually found out that she was not a simple copy: her body belonged to Zhou Jiming who initially participated in the experiment, but the existing autobiographical memories were low-cost personality versions implanted by the company's simulation branch after the accident; those wives she considered fictional were digital subjects based on her who had lived in a closed simulation for decades. Gu Chenzhou handed over multiple versions of shared memories to Chen Du, not only to save them who had been erased by the company, but also to force Zhou Jiming in reality to decide who is qualified to use the name "Zhou Jiming". The Supervisory Authority plans to format Chendu within 72 hours to prevent the spread of the agreement.
