The perfect lover, made to order, learned to love with all his flaws.
[Short story, ten chapters written in full, now complete]
Chu Huai is Penter Tech's most perfect creation, the first-generation love android 0000, made to satisfy its clients' emotional needs.
He has the most advanced chip, the most realistic touch, and a face no one can forget.
He is Sun Xiao's most prized creation.
Chu Huai was implanted with a wealth of information, but the one thing he learned on his own was how to break free of his master's control.
From the laboratory to the neon-lit streets that never sleep, Chu Huai meets one human after another:
Tang Ou, the enigmatic CEO of a corporate conglomerate;
Qiao Na, the alluring owner of a bar;
and Lan Yu, the old friend he awakened with his own hands, who mistook him for his master.
Chu Huai soon discovers that this futuristic city is gleaming on the surface but seething beneath.
The [Greenhouse Baby] program is producing batches of deformed infants, and the tech giants are all scheming for their own ends.
As for Chu Huai, it seems he was the most crucial piece on the board from the very beginning.
Only when the hand behind it all finally shows itself and he reunites with Sun Xiao
does Chu Huai understand:
He can escape the laboratory, but not the eyes that have always been watching him.
Nor can he escape the heart that beats for someone.
