In the year 2200 of the Common Era, the System descended upon the world.
After observing the daily lives of all humanity, it discovered that some people behaved strangely and were impossible to understand.
So it imprisoned these people, classifying them as "bugs."
In 2205, the human prisoner Shui Wujing killed her supervisor for the 29th time.
Since good things came in round numbers, her newly assigned supervisor was a young man:
a man with astonishingly strong vitality, impossible to kill no matter what she did.
Wu Xu, a notorious assassin who killed bioengineered humans.
One night, he received a new job with an astonishingly high fee.
The client was afraid Shui Wujing would kill them, so they asked him to impersonate her supervisor and kill the deranged female prisoner in one fell swoop.
Wu Xu went.
But after their minds resonated, he fell in love with Shui Wujing at first sight.
A dark, mentally ill female prisoner x a sunshine-type assassin who's secretly ruthless
A month later, Shui Wujing's 30th supervisor was still stubbornly alive.
He asked if she wanted to go outside for some fresh air. She suspected he wanted revenge.
He agreed with and praised everything she said. She thought he was scheming deeply and planned to make her fall in love before killing her.
He reached out with his mechanical arm and patted her head. Unable to figure him out, she obediently and resentfully... let him pet her.
Wu Xu: Huh, she's so cute. Who was it that wanted to kill her again?
