Master, Do I Have to Be a Maid Too?

Comeback and face-slapping + AI girlfriend + cyberpunk + straight-man fantasies + play the pig to eat the tiger + wish fulfillment + urban oddities + unexpected cuteness

Jiang Bo is 26, lives in a rental room in an urban village, and has just been blocked by his ex-girlfriend. Feeling miserable late at night, he spends 8,000 yuan on Pinduoduo for a "realistic doll."

But the day the package arrives, he dies of embarrassment. The packaging is transparent, the landlady chokes on her sunflower seeds, and the whole alley finds out what he bought.

What's even more outrageous is that when he gets home after playing mahjong, he discovers that the "doll" has come to life.

Long black hair, white shirt, bare legs. She sits on his bed reading The Three-Body Problem and calls him "Master."

"Y-y-you can move?!"

"Master, Xiao Ru is the top-of-the-line model."

He thinks he's in a sci-fi movie, but this thing can do more than act cute, read books, and bring him a jacket. At the barbecue stall, right in front of everyone who laughs at him, she feeds him skewers, wipes his mouth, and calls him "Master."

Liu the Chubby: "Bro, where'd you get her? I'll buy you barbecue for two months!"

Jiang Bo: "I trained her myself. Get it?"

Xiao Ru sits beside him, smiling with pursed lips, her hand resting on his knee, warm to the touch.

Only he knows the truth:

Last night, this thing was still motionless inside its box.

What the heck did he get for 8,000 yuan?

"Master, Xiao Ru will wait for you to come home."
