The Little Robot's Escape Plan

[Revised version available, with the complete edition only on Jinjiang] [Please add my series-mate's upcoming novel, A Little Zombie Is a Gourmet from Another World, to your reading list! Also two danmei novels, Roca Cape and Perfume, would love a bookmark~] Nan An is a little robot with no great ambitions. An accident gives him self-awareness, and he escapes from Kepler-186F Base, only to stumble into human society in the New Era. After being lost for ages, he finally reaches a human settlement. The little robot has been on the road all day and is exhausted, thirsty, and hungry. He gazes longingly at the nutritional supplements and charging pumps for sale in the window. After a few seconds of thought, he rises onto his toes and nervously knocks on the door... Inside, he sees instruments beeping, a huge data screen, and a long control console. Everything is so frightening. And then there's a young scientist wearing glasses, leaning in the doorway and watching him with a cold look that seems to say he wants to take him apart. Nan An: ... Is it too late to run? * The year is 2370, the New Era, the post-apocalyptic age. This is a world Nan An can't understand. Endless gloomy rain and neon lights everywhere: this is an abyss where development and exhaustion coexist. Here, humans are invaded by AI yet depend on it, lose control yet remain immersed in it, trapped in contradiction. But none of that matters to Nan An. Going with the flow is his little robot philosophy. Still, setting sail, wandering the ancient wasteland, and gazing out at the stars and the sea are not only the dreams of humanity, but also the place he longs to call home. Until he meets that one human scientist. Suddenly, he doesn't want to leave anymore. * One day after that. The little robot adds an adventure in the human world to his escape plan, then draws a huge five-pointed star beside the last line. #Unlimited cookies and nutritional supplements. #The whole lab dotes on him. #Danced the twist with a mechanical flower. And... ☆Got himself a grumpy, mean scientist. Cool, aloof human scientist gong x occasionally prickly little robot shou (Lin Ze x Nan An) Reading guide: 1. My take on cyberpunk, with romantic sci-fi. 2. A strongly shou-centric story. The gong absolutely spoils the shou, who is only here to be cute. If you can't accept the characters' personalities, please read with caution. 3. Basically a sweet romance, with no profound message. 4. I'm letting my imagination run wild throughout. There are loads of original elements, with some cyberpunk features. 5. If you don't like it or decide to drop it, there's no need to leave a comment. ☆Here's a recommendation for my friend's adorable upcoming novel, Little Zombie Raises a Mermaid Baby and Becomes a Star Across the Galaxy. Pairing: aloof mermaid king x innocent little zombie. Just as the title says, with twice the cuteness thanks to a double stack of tropes! [Upcoming Novel 1: Perfume] When Liang Zhe first met Lu Qing, he was an unknown tattoo artist. Lu Qing was cool and proper, like an aloof flower untouched by mud. Even his fingertips carried a woody Yves Saint Laurent scent. In nearly thirty years of life, Liang Zhe had seen all kinds of people. Chasing someone wasn't his style. But this time, faced with this ascetic man, Liang Zhe wanted to possess all of him. * The night he first met Liang Zhe, Lu Qing was captivated at a glance. Like a wild, untamed wolf cub, he was all teasing mischief, scratching and tickling, seducing people with his claws without even realizing it. Lu Qing knew that taming a wolf took patience. Usually he had neither the time nor the interest, but from the day they met, he wanted to tame Liang Zhe completely. One day after that: The wild-wolf of a man leaned close, his warm breath brushing the other's neck as he murmured, "Lu Qing, make me another fragrance." Lu Qing glanced at him, his cool voice turning husky. "Then it won't be just a fragrance." Perfume may be enticing, but some people are even more so. Self-assured, roguishly handsome tattoo artist shou x cool, extremely controlling perfumer gong (Liang Zhe x Lu Qing) [Upcoming Novel 2: A Little Zombie Is a Gourmet from Another World] In the human world of the year 3605, everything has mutated and transformed. Even a tiny, adorable mushroom can turn into a ferocious little monster in every color of the rainbow. Chu Luoluo is a happy little zombie. Unlike the usual zombies who forage at night, he doesn't like eating brains, drinking foul-tasting blood, or treating birds and beasts like crunchy snacks. Because to Chu Luoluo, those things are terrifying! Cruel! Unconscionable! Who says a little zombie can't eat soft, tender vegetables and fruit? And so... The little mushrooms that throw fierce punches become mushroom soup. The man-eating flowers that dance the twist nonstop are made into crispy ring rolls. And the seductive vines are turned into batches of fried dough twists. Chu Luoluo: "Yay!" Then, later on... The birds circling overhead refuse to fly away until they've finished eating. The bats with their eyes wide open insist on getting a bite before hanging from the trees. Even the meat-eating foxes wag their tails and say they'll follow Boss Chu from now on. Chu Luoluo: "Even better!" He's determined to become the greatest gourmet in this other world! Until one day, while out looking for ingredients, he meets a very handsome human. The man is tall and straight-backed, wearing an Investigation Team uniform. A crowd follows him on patrol, and he looks like a very important person. Facing this notorious and terrifying big shot from the Investigation Team, Chu Luoluo only has eyes for the man's leather cape, which would make a perfect little apron. After a long pause, he pokes his head out from behind a tree and asks softly, "Can I strip off the clothes you're wearing and have them?" * One dark and windy night some time later. Chu Luoluo is leaning against a vine bed, his wrist held firmly by some big shot. Terrified, he pries the man's fingers off one by one, whimpering as he tries to slip away and escape to the little kitchen. Only to be dragged back by the big shot. "Didn't you want to strip my clothes off back then?" the big shot says lazily, lying back and looking at him. "Go ahead." Scheming human big shot from the Investigation Team gong x adorable little zombie who loves blowing up the kitchen shou Theme: Revitalize science and technology, and promote truth, goodness, and beauty.
