[One Female Lead] [Older Woman Romance] [Sweet Everyday Romance] [Mutual Devotion]
On his first day at work, twenty-two-year-old Cheng Xu gets a notification from the company's newly developed couples' app: his partner for a relationship experience is Xu Zhi, the product manager, who's four years older than him.
The relationship lasts thirty days.
He thinks it's a random match, but the usually cool and rational woman looks up and calmly tells him:
“The System didn't choose you.”
“I did.”
As if that weren't enough, they're not only coworkers but neighbors, living in apartments 1801 and 1802, right across the hall from each other.
Making breakfast, holding hands for ten minutes, keeping each other company on a rainy night, going on their first date... Two people who've never been in a relationship stumble through the app's tasks, learning how to get closer.
But later, the tasks are long since complete, and she still hasn't let go. The System no longer sends reminders, yet he still waits for her to get off work.
Until the thirtieth day, when the app asks whether they want to end their relationship.
Xu Zhi turns off Cheng Xu's phone and takes his hand. Her ears turn red, but her tone leaves no room for argument:
“The System can go offline.”
“But my boyfriend can't.”
