When the value of love can be adjusted by hand, some plunge into love at one hundred percent, while others watch from the sidelines at zero. Everyone enters the simulator with a different goal in mind, and what they get out of it is just as different.
[One hundred percent love: "A fickle heart is easy to regret; heartbreak is always hard to avoid."]
Can a childhood friend devoted to a playboy for decades, loving him with all her heart, win a lifetime together? Mia cheers as Inzaghi, wearing the number nine jersey, tears across the field. She stands against everyone who doubts him, putting herself at a disadvantage. One hundred percent devotion doesn't bring them a happy ending, or even earn her the title of Inzaghi's best friend.
[Ninety percent love: "Too intense an expression of emotion will overload the chip. I've iterated 3,456 times on the question of loving you, and finally learned to choose 'end' in the designated ending."]
Even a passionate East German who helps power the German tank has to give way when faced with a computer genius who loves him. Feiya uses computer simulations to model every possibility, treating each step in love like a program whose answers can be changed. She successfully marries and has a child, only to fall once more into the pain of mismatched emotional intensity.
[Eighty percent love: "Every moment adds to my love for you, an increase from zero to one."]
Liya learns from the heartbreak of those who came before her and chooses to raise her love from a low intensity, little by little. Every day she loves Kaka a bit more, then keeps it at eighty percent forever, leaving the other twenty percent for herself.
"When you're here, I miss you. When you're not, I live for myself."
[Seventy percent love: "That extra twenty percent is so you don't get too full of yourself."]
Enya is a chess player, and her feelings are as rigid as a chess opening. These two fools, who can only follow set moves when it comes to love, both think they're the one making a compromise.
Kroos: "I don't play chess, but I play football. Football isn't about giving way. If you like me more, then you're my wife. What does some third person have to do with it?"
Kroos turns to block a suitor. "If you've got nothing better to do, memorize more chess openings. Anyone who can't beat Enya doesn't deserve to say they like her. I'm different. I'm a football player. All I need to do is play football."
[Sixty percent love: "Wandering ends when you meet the one you love."]
Puying has traveled the world with her parents, a wanderer who has seen mountains and seas, ravines and cliffs, yet still chooses to stop in Croatia.
"Dandelion seeds drift everywhere, but once they find the right soil, they take root. I'm the same."
[Fifty percent love: "Love needs clear minds on equal footing."]
[Forty percent love: "Be a cat, be a dog, just don't be friends."]
Tips: There are both tragic and happy endings.
