The day AI systems worldwide crashed, everything Lin Miaomiao wrote on paper came true.
She writes, “The classroom is so hot,” and the plane trees outside shed their leaves in September. She writes, “A domineering CEO, backlit,” and a three-meter-tall flamingo appears on the rooftop, looks down at her, and says, “Woman, your eyes give you away.”
Then she discovers she's not the only one at school. The boy who has drawn forty-seven failed drafts of a rabbit hair clip can turn the words she writes into real objects. A System called Beta forcibly binds them together and sends them daily tasks: “Eat together,” “Stay within one meter of each other,” “Exchange notebooks.”
She just wants to be an icy beauty. The System wants her to fall in love.
Until the student council launches a sweeping hunt for people with superpowers, the computing pool runs dry, and after the school festival she loses track of time, leads twelve squirrels in the school anthem, and has three thousand phones at the sports meet snapping photos of the blue-flame rocket shoes on her feet. A System notification pops up: “Partner B responded in 0.3 seconds.”
He's already running toward her. Faster than anyone, anything, or any System rule.
