Brief summary: This study is a single-arm, open-label, dose-escalation trial to explore the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamics characteristics of human BCMA targeted CAR-NK Cells injection, and to preliminarily observe the efficacy of the trial drug in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma or plasma cell leukemia.

Detailed description: Subjects with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma or plasma cell leukemia can participate if all eligibility criteria are met. Tests required to determine eligibility including disease assessments, a physical exam, Electrocardiograph, Computed tomography (CT)/Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)/Positron Emission Tomography (PET), liver/renal function tests, complete blood count with differential and complete metabolic profile and etc. Subjects will receive preconditioning chemotherapy prior to the first infusion of human BCMA targeted CAR-NK Cells injection. After the infusion, subjects will be followed for adverse events, pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamics characteristics, efficacy of human BCMA targeted CAR-NK cells. Study procedures may be performed while hospitalized.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:Subjects must meet all of the following criteria to be enrolled:

* Subjects volunteer to participate in clinical trials, understand and sign the informed consent document, be willing to complete all the trial procedures;
* 18 years and older, Male and female;
* Expected survival \> 12 weeks;
* Documented evidence of multiple myeloma at diagnosis as defined by IMWG updated criteria (2014), or plasma cell leukemia at diagnosis as defined by Diagnosis and therapeutic criteria of hematologic disease (4th edition);
* One of the following indicators is satisfied:

  1. Serum M protein: IgG M protein ≥5 g/L; or IgA M protein ≥5 g/L; or IgD M protein and IgD \>ULN;
  2. Urine M protein ≥200 mg/24h;
  3. Affected serum free light chain ≥100 mg/L and Serum free light chain ratio is abnormal;
  4. Clonal bone marrow plasma cells ≥10 % for non-secretory myeloma;
* Patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma or plasma cell leukemia, satisfying:

  1. Patients have received at least 3 prior MM or PCL treatment regimens containing at least one proteasome inhibitor and one immunomodulatory;
  2. Progress is documented within 60 days of the most recent anti-tumor treatment, or efficacy assessment does not reach minimal response(MR) or above;
* Liver, kidney and cardiopulmonary functions meet the following requirements:

  1. Creatinine clearance rate (estimated by CockcroftGault formula) ≥30mL/min;
  2. Left ventricular ejection fraction \> 50%;
  3. Baseline peripheral oxygen saturation \> 95%;
  4. Total bilirubin≤ 2×ULN; Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5×ULN;
* Blood routine examination satisfying hemoglobin≥60 g/L, neutrophils≥ 1.0×10\^9/L, and platelets≥30×10\^9/L, can complete this trial according to the judgement of investigators.

* Received CAR-NK treatment or other gene therapies before enrollment;
* Subjects who have a disease that affects the signing of written informed consent or who are unable to comply with research procedures; or who are unwilling or unable to comply with research requirements;
* Subjects who have had severe immediate hypersensitivity reactions to any drugs used in this research;
* Active or uncontrollable infection requiring systemic therapy within 14 days prior to enrollment;
* In the past two years, the terminal organ was damaged due to autoimmune diseases (such as Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus), or the systemic use of immunosuppressive or other systemic disease control drugs was required;
