After the Care Robot Went Out of Control

Synopsis:

Jing Miuyan got a bionic android who looked exactly like the person he'd lost, the one he had loved most. At first he hated it, but gradually he became obsessed with it. In just a few months, he realized he had grown dependent on the machine.

"Cassius! Get me some water!"

"Cassius! Where's my wineglass? And where did the remote go?"

"Cassius! Slow... Ah! Be gentle!"

One night, while the android was working hard, Jing Miuyan wrapped his arms around its neck, and the android kissed his jaw. The name that slipped from Jing Miuyan's lips wasn't that of his lost love, but the android's.

The android paused. Out of sight, its eyes flickered red. Then it began to move with even greater force.

Jing Miuyan covered his mouth until it was over, his heart swallowed by endless fear.

He had become the kind of person he despised.

He was about to forget the name of the one he loved.

Jing Miuyan came to his senses. The person he loved was dead. This thing might have perfectly copied his appearance, but a machine was a machine. It could never become the person Jing Miuyan loved so deeply.

They were different. He couldn't confuse one with the other.

Getting a bionic android who looked exactly like his lover and keeping it by his side had already been a betrayal. Now he'd even called it the wrong name in the heat of the moment... Jing Miuyan decided to cut his losses before things went any further.

However, a few days later

The pile of scrap metal he'd thrown into the junkyard ran back on its own. It also took control of the AI in Jing Miuyan's home and locked him inside. The smart villa everyone had once envied had become his prison.

A hand showing exposed wires and machinery brushed Jing Miuyan's jaw, then pried open his mouth as he stared in terror.

"Do you want to throw me away, Master?"

[Important Notes]

1. Jing Miuyan: The character in the name can have multiple pronunciations, but here it is pronounced mu.

2. His lost love really is dead. There will be flashbacks, and the cyber version will appear later. Whether that counts as the same person is open to debate. That's all I can say without spoilers.

3. A fiery beauty of a bottom who swears, saying things like "damn it," "get lost," and "bastard." He has a harem of admirers, with plenty of romantic rivalry.

4. A novella, definitely not a fluffy romance, but it has a happy ending. It's a rather tangled kind of love. The top really is a bionic android, and there will be a storyline about it becoming self-aware.

5. A little like a translation. Inspired by "The Foundation" and "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", as well as the game "Detroit: Become Human".

6. The author is very protective of the protagonists.

7. Don't insult me. You wouldn't want me to enjoy that, would you? :)
