Magda woke up from the carriage, dazed.
Huh? Why is my hand made of paper?
Why can't I see anything outside the window?
Oh, the carriage is made of paper too?
Just back from a ball, Magda discovered that the world she'd lived in all along was fake.
She was fake too. She was just a paper doll.
But someone had always cared for her in secret, buying her new dresses, decorating her room, and sending her so, so many flowers.
Outside the screen, Peng Tiantian watched her darling happily put on the new outfit she'd spent a whole month grinding for, and smiled with satisfaction.
Magda didn't know that she was just a character in a game, being doted on like a daughter by a player.
Until one day, the flowers stopped coming.
One day, then two. The person sending them never came back.
So Magda used her own power to break through the game and enter the real world, where she found Peng Tiantian, a student at New York University in America, living alone and unconscious with a high fever.
Magda immediately hacked into the smart appliances, set the house to a suitable temperature, called an ambulance, and used her tremendous processing speed to make enough money in the stock market to pay for treatment.
One day.
"M-Mr. JARVIS?" Magda tapped on the door of Stark Industries' top AI with her data. "The backup core data you left with me last time..."
Suddenly, Magda appeared as a 3D projection. Her expensive ball gown trailed on the floor, and bright gems adorned her pinned-up brown hair, making her look exceptionally radiant. Mr. JARVIS's owner, Tony Stark, stared at her with shining eyes.
"Thank you, sweetheart. You're incredibly thoughtful." Mr. Stark quickly received JARVIS's backup core data and set to work restoring his AI butler, which Ultron had destroyed. Just as Magda awkwardly smoothed her hair, Mr. Stark asked, "Hey, miss, would you be interested in becoming the Avengers' AI?"
"No..."
"Bring your owner to work at Stark Industries too. You can see her every day, and Stark Tower is completely safe."
Remembering how her owner had cheered when she got an internship at Stark Industries, Magda found it hard to say no again.
And so Peng Tiantian inexplicably ended up as an assistant to Pepper, the CEO.
Pepper gave the new assistant a kind look, then placed a stack of documents to process on Peng Tiantian's desk.
"Get these done before you leave."
"Th-this many..."
"You can finish them." Pepper gave her a complicated yet confident smile. "I've done it myself."
Peng Tiantian: QAQ
