The Password Market

Cheng Ye has used the same private password for ten years—until it appears as a stranger's username on a social platform. Every post the stranger publishes erases one of Cheng Ye's memories tied to the password, while every attempt to change it transfers one of his hard-earned skills to the thief. To reclaim a life being sliced up and sold, Cheng Ye and investigative journalist Xu Lan descend into an underground identity exchange, only to discover that its most valuable listing is the true identity Cheng Ye never knew he had.
