★ A new urban fantasy mystery from a doctor-writer. In the city, a string of patients suddenly claim their memories were "stolen." Psychiatrist Wai Yuching and mysterious psychologist Chik Hiu-shu team up to investigate, uncovering the existence of a hidden clan that survives by eating memories: the Memory Eaters. Every amnesia case is a riddle; every act of "eating" probes the depths of human nature.
★ If pain could be swallowed in one bite, would you give up your memory for false peace? Wearing the shell of a detective story, the novel interrogates the ethical dilemmas of memory, identity, and redemption: how does a person atone if they no longer remember their crime? Is a happiness you know to be fake still worth having?
★ From "First Pluck" to "Fermentation," seven culinary processes dissect the essence and cost of memory. Structured around kitchen procedures, the book weaves psychiatric detail and fantastical premises seamlessly.

A sudden wave of acute amnesia cases floods the city's clinics. Psychiatrist Wei Yucheng encounters an emergency patient who claims his memory was stolen by a stranger. At the same time, the mysterious psychologist Zhi Xiaoshu appears and reveals a shocking secret to Wei Yucheng: a tribe that feeds on memories has always existed among us. They are the "Memory Eaters."

What is the connection between the successive amnesia cases and the Memory Eaters? Why would someone voluntarily have their memory deleted? When Wei Yucheng, invited to join the investigation, must herself face the struggle of "choosing memories," what will she decide?
