    Reader note

    The author, a senior scientist in a research position, has always lamented the scarcity of hard science fiction works since Liu Cixin, and couldn't resist trying his hand at writing. Scientists are also human, but traditional science fiction often presents a relatively detached view of emotions. *The Origin of Pain* is a hard science fiction work from a fresh perspective, yet it still features sweet and faithful first love, suitable for both men and women. It's short, avoids dragging, and has a strong sense of realism. The classic chapter is Chapter 13, "One Person, One Thousand Faces." "The Year Zero of Artificial Intelligence? You're not talking about that GPU bubble in history, are you? Before the birth of the pain program, humanity thought they had developed artificial intelligence. Looking back now, it was just a GPU-intensive search engine and data analyzer, not self-evolving silicon-based intelligence at all."

    Reader note

    This is a novel I wrote. It has no superpowers, no system, no time travel, and no rebirth. It's primarily told from the female protagonist's perspective, with the male protagonist appearing later in the main story after the prologue. The technology is probably in the near future, and it's a bit angsty. This is my first serious attempt at writing, so please give me your feedback.
