In the 22nd century, the world has abolished soft emotions. Heartbeats are called "emotional redundant codes" and everyone wears emotion monitoring bracelets.
The lower-level painter Li Qingyi secretly has a crush on the creator of the rules. In real life, he threw down manuscripts in meetings, was inhumane, and was distant and indifferent to her; but he was the only person in the virtual world who asked her "does the wound still hurt?"
After rescuing an old-era civet on a rainy night, she accidentally gets the top-secret closed beta game "Heartbeat Code". She recreated the figure of time and hid in the virtual world secretly lusting after tenderness.
She thought everything was just an illusion caused by loneliness, but she didn't know that the virtual lover she longed for was catching all her grievances through the screen, searching the whole city just to find her anonymously.
When virtual love meets cold rules - he has been looking for her for a long time, and she is standing behind the manuscript he reviews every day.
Can the love forbidden by the whole world have a name this time?
Intention: Under the cold rules, tenderness and love will eventually emerge.
