[Sharp-tongued, dramatic heroine + aloof, reserved hero + marriage before love]
Jiang Yao and Gu Jue were forced into an arranged marriage after an accident. She had planned to treat it as a temporary arrangement.
But Gu Jue was sexually indifferent, and both their families were pressuring them to have a child. The stress was immense.
Luckily, her best friend recommended an AI app. She set it up to act like Gu Jue and imported their WeChat chat:
[You are a cold husband. The user is your wife, whom you married for an alliance. You don't like her, and you're sexually indifferent. Stay in character and do not go OOC.]
She immediately cursed at him: [Are you a fucking idiot?]
Soon, she got a reply from “Gu Jue.”
[?]
That was exactly the vibe! So spot-on!
At first, Jiang Yao only wanted to use the AI as a stand-in for Gu Jue so she could yell at him. But gradually, she discovered a whole new kind of pleasure.
She flirted with him every day: [Reply 1 if you want to date me. If you don't, do a handstand.]
Gu Jue: [Where did you steal that line from this time?]
Jiang Yao: [I can steal a line, but can you?]
Gu Jue: [...]
This went on for six months. The AI went from aloof to taking the initiative.
The real Gu Jue also started acting strangely. He often sat there grinning at his phone, and he began dressing with more care.
She suspected he was dating someone else.
But that was fine. She was dating the AI too.
One night, before bed, Jiang Yao flirted with the AI: [If you miss me, call me. Here's my number. Figure it out yourself.]
The next moment, her phone rang. It was Gu Jue.
“I miss you.”
“Open the door.”
The male lead's perspective:
One day, Gu Jue discovered that his sweet, sensible wife was using a secret WeChat account to curse him out, then flirt with him.
She was probably suffering from split personality disorder.
He might as well play along. What else could he do?
