Core theme: How two broken souls heal each other and rebuild trust and hope in the world in love. Not only is the male protagonist redeemed by the female protagonist, but it is also a two-way healing - the female protagonist learns to accept by giving blindly, and the male protagonist learns to love by closing himself off.
Character development:
Chen Nian (female protagonist):
Appearance: Tough and optimistic, a hardworking student from a poor family
Internal: Hidden collapse caused by over-commitment, insecurity about "being loved", habit of giving in exchange for existence value
Special setting: Has super memory ability (formed by needing to remember a lot of low-price product information, drug names, etc. In the early years), but has a vague understanding of his own value.
Growth arc: from "I must take care of everyone" to "I also deserve to be taken care of", from "love is responsibility" to "love is mutual vulnerability"
Shen Yu (male protagonist):
Appearance: A cold and distant rich second-generation academic master
Intrinsic: Emotional cognitive disorder (non-medical definition, formed due to childhood emotional neglect), inability to recognize and express emotions, replacing emotional responses with logic
Special setting: Have extraordinary observation and analytical abilities (forced by growing environment), but cannot understand the emotional meaning behind these observations
Growth arc: from "emotions are invalid data" to "emotions are necessary for survival", from "love is risk" to "love is courage"
What kind of sparks can an AI man and an optimistic woman create?
