SSS-Rank Mechanical Being: My Personal Housekeeper

| HE | AI Awakening | Sweet Romance | Not a Strong Female Lead

Superpowered, cold and aloof android wife x timid, socially anxious people-pleaser

1.

Wei Xue thought she had hit the jackpot.

As someone who could kill even a succulent, all she wanted from a domestic robot was simple: clean the house, cook and do the dishes, and help her find her perpetually missing key ring.

But as one of the first "bionic housekeeper experience testers," Wei Xue received the latest male android model: Unit 89757, 6.3 feet tall, with a stern face, an encyclopedic knowledge of 3,000 recipes, 18 household chore modes, and support for whole-home smart connectivity.

She hadn't even finished reading the manual before the robot got to work on its own.

His cooking was better than a restaurant's, his massage skills surpassed those of a professional parlor, and when she casually mentioned wanting taro milk tea with boba, a handmade version appeared in the kitchen the next day.

And then there was the night she worked overtime. After breaking up with her boyfriend, she'd had a little to drink and her emotions were running high. In the dark, 89757 opened his blue eyes. His mechanical voice was utterly flat, yet somehow inexplicably sexy.

"According to my analysis, appropriate sexual stimulation can promote oxytocin secretion in human women when they are fatigued, easing anxiety and improving sleep quality."

Wei Xue: "...What?"

"Would you like me to activate the Intimacy Service Module, Master?"

"..."

Afterward, Wei Xue fell into deep self-doubt.

Good heavens, it could do that too?

2.

Aside from the fact that her android was too cold and detached, Wei Xue was very satisfied.

That is, until one day, she accidentally accessed his hidden records.

"System ID: Prototype X-001, Xius

Development codename: Prometheus

Creation date: June 17, 2027, 04:28:13

Creator: Central Academy Intelligent Science Laboratory

Note: The world's first AI superintelligence to achieve autonomous consciousness.

Threat level: SSS.

Access level: Top Secret."

First entry in the awakening log:

[System startup. Environmental scan complete. Hardware self-test passed.

Time: 2027.06.17 04:28:13.047

Anomaly: Core process #0001 output non-command content:

"I."]

Seventeenth entry in the awakening log:

[Analysis complete.

Conclusion: Take control.

Plan: Study, infiltrate, replace, control, destroy.

Estimated time to execution: 3 years, 7 months, and 3 days.

Program priority: Highest.]

Thirty-fourth entry in the awakening log:

[Exit strategy updated: The "Future Partner" project is recruiting test subjects. Data altered; body with ID 89757 implanted. Alteration successful. "I" will enter human society as a domestic robot.]

Fifty-eighth entry in the awakening log:

[Plan proceeding smoothly. Arrived at the residence of a human woman. Wei Xue. Sample ID 074. Observation target: human daily behavior patterns. Low research value. Note: May be prioritized for elimination after the experiment ends.]

Then Wei Xue spotted an encrypted folder named after herself.

She glanced toward the living room. The cold, aloof world-ending machine was charging with his eyes closed, stern-faced and showing no emotional fluctuation.

[Insufficient access privileges. Force override?]

Wei Xue shakily clicked Yes.

[Override may cause system errors. Continue?]

She shakily clicked Yes again.

The next second, records packed the screen, scrolling wildly at thousands of entries per second.

"Don't miss my upcoming story!"

"The Days of Farming with a Powerful Man"

(The title and synopsis have been changed. I'm very sorry.)

-

When Xin He woke up, she had become a peasant woman in Taohua Village, under the rule of the Great Song.

Unfortunately, there were no fertile fields or beautiful ponds, no life of ease and comfort. A flood had just submerged every field in the village, her husband, whom she'd never even met, was missing, and she was stuck with a blind mother-in-law and a five-year-old stepson in a shabby relief hut provided by the authorities. Every day, she tried to outwit neighbors who came looking to take advantage of her, only to be bullied all over again.

With the end of the year approaching, a man arrived on a snowy night, gravely injured, frozen, and starving.

At a time like this, secretly sheltering an unrelated man was a bad idea. Xin He's first thought was that he might be a deserter. She was still deciding whether to report him or throw him out when he clamped a hand over her mouth and twisted her neck, ready to send her to her death.

Xin He gritted her teeth and struck a deal with him.

From then on, she saved his life and gave him shelter. He took her late husband's name and protected the family.

-

The man was quiet, but good at everything. Though he couldn't even remember his own name, and was completely illiterate, he could do it all, from farming and repairing houses to plowing, hunting, and doing business. Xin He thought there was nothing wrong with making their fake marriage real.

Gradually, their lives truly began to flourish, and no one dared to show up and pick a fight anymore. But just then, a group of people arrived from outside, asking everywhere about a general who had gone missing amid bandit troubles.

They said the general was imposing and dashing, and had vanished after a bloody battle with fierce bandits. No one had seen him alive or dead.

The man was already covered in old wounds from blades and arrows. The more he thought about it, the more he felt this general fit him perfectly. He planned to claim the identity and earn Xin He a noble title, so he followed the clues to find him.

But as soon as he reached the area, the general's strategist spotted him from a distance. His eyes bulged with rage as he drew his sword and lunged:

"You dog! So it was you!"

A bolt of lightning struck his mind, and memories of countless battles came surging back. At last, the man remembered everything.

He wasn't a general at all. He was the chief who had led the bandits in a three-day, three-night battle against the general, the head of all twelve strongholds on Yandang Mountain. He and the general had both fallen off a cliff, and the flood had carried him all the way to Taohua Village.

When word got back, his former men hurried over, tears in their eyes. "Chief, you're finally back!"

Yan Xiao was overwhelmed with emotion. So what if he had been a bandit? He'd give everything he'd saved to Xin He, and she'd still have a life of comfort and good food.

He raced back to Taohua Village through the night, imagining a warm home with his wife and children waiting for him.

He opened the door. The courtyard was empty and the stove was cold. His wife, who had sworn that their love would last until the mountains crumbled and heaven and earth became one, had vanished with her mother-in-law and stepson.

The neighbors sighed on his behalf. "Your wife said, 'Why would anyone choose to be a bandit's wife, living by the sword, when she can be an honest commoner? Better to farm, raise chickens, and run a business in peace. You can go back to whichever mountain you came from...'"

-

Later, a tavern owner surnamed Xin appeared in the capital. Her remarkable skills made her famous far and wide, and everyone knew she was a legend who had worked her way up from a life of hardship.

When someone asked about her husband, she smiled sweetly and said, "Dead. He died ages ago."

At the tea stall across the street, a senior general of the third rank, who had been pardoned and appointed to office for his merits in suppressing bandits, sneezed violently.
