When will I finally be able to escape this kind of life?
As a recent graduate struggling within the confines of a stable career, Chu Haoya spends every day agonizing over this question, even as others envy her secure job.
But after meeting Kong Jiaxuan, Chu Haoya’s life becomes unpredictable. Again and again, she takes the step she longs most to take but never dared to make.
Then the world begins to promote the hypothesis of emotional origins:
When tools made of machines and code acquire memories, do the recollections preserved in their metal frameworks belong to the vessel or its creator?
When machines governed by settings and algorithms awaken emotions, do the feelings surging through their conversations come from a mechanical heart or from their designers?
To whom does this “perfect love” truly belong?
A meeting and reunion long planned in advance, a relationship carefully maneuvered at every turn, and thorough preparations to establish the rules: perfect love is right before her eyes.
Will Chu Haoya be swept up in it? Or will she follow her heart, pause for the variables within it, and become a “defiant” pioneer?
