Artificial Nonhuman

[My new novel, Today's Wedding Joy, is now underway and has plenty of chapters!] [Recommending my wife's novel, Raising Monsters: A Male Mom [Cthulhu], by Murder the Moon] Su Lian, exiled to a garbage planet, found the perfect partner. Though his partner was an abandoned companion robot he'd picked up from a junk pile. His partner came without any large-scale lethal weapons, only a perfectly proportioned body that met human aesthetic standards, made with the latest bionic materials. His partner had no dangerous content stored in its memory, either, only ordinary books like The Complete Guide to Bed Positions, Repairing Pleasure Devices, 108 Ways to Comfort Your Partner, and Delicious Home Cooking to Make Your Lover Feel at Home. Su Lian had been living on nutrient fluids for a year and a half. The moment he saw the cookbook, he decided to repair the robot. He pulled his power connector from his spine, plugged it into the robot, and completed the binding without hesitation. Life with a partner was happy and strange. Delicious food, soothing massages, perfect experiences in bed... except that his partner seemed to be everywhere. The little mechanical dog he'd just picked up, the aircraft he'd repaired, even the smart home showed traces of his partner's presence. His partner watched him with a fervor that went beyond its programming. Su Lian: “?” After seeing his partner violate the companion robot code for the third time, Su Lian finally decided to give its program a complete overhaul.

Probably an atypical nonhuman. 2. The shou has had some limbs mechanically modified. 3. Do mechanical puppies bark, too? Upcoming novel 1 Today's Wedding Joy synopsis: After being beaten down by society, Chu Huan decides to follow in his father's footsteps and return to his hometown to become a fortune-teller. Well... a not-quite-competent fortune-teller, passed down through the family. There's nothing wrong with moving graves, summoning souls, and checking feng shui. The only problem is that the unknown deity worshipped in his home for who knows how long has started undergoing strange changes ever since he returned. The tall body, covered in verdigris, suddenly develops patches of vivid red. The rough outer robe carved into it gains the texture of real fabric, and even its head seems to be covered by a veil, obscuring its features. Chu Huan can't make sense of the changes to the statue, until one day he comes home and finds that it has moved from its pedestal onto his bed. At nearly four meters tall, it makes the wooden bed groan pitifully. Layers of bright red wedding robes and a veil adorned with delicate tassels completely hide “her” face. Only a pair of cold-white hands rests obediently on her lap. Those hands are so big they look like they could circle his waist with their fingers. Chu Huan suddenly understands. “Oh, so you're my wife.” My golden finger (×) My wife (√) Easygoing, not-quite-competent fortune-teller shou × over-three-meter-tall “ghost bride” gong 1.

As a side job, he becomes a streamer. He never shows his face, only selling his voice. His cool, sexy voice earns him the top spot among late-night male streamers. Working at the convenience store is relaxing but boring, until a sudden downpour brings a tall, drenched man through the door. The man's imposing build is already intimidating, and his vicious aura could make anyone overlook his equally handsome features. He buys an umbrella and says to Sui Yuchun, “Your voice sounds a lot like someone I know.” Sui Yuchun raises an eyebrow. “Does it?” Two months later. A sexy man with his face concealed suddenly appears beside the streamer in a famous late-night livestream. The man wears a neat black suit. His figure is excellent, and his broad chest strains the fabric in a tempting curve. His gaze is unusually fierce, though, making him look like a bad-tempered Doberman. Sui Yuchun's slender, pale fingers glide across the man's chest before he grabs his tie and introduces him in a low voice: “This is my new partner. From now on, our livestreams will feature hands-on romance lessons.” His voice trails off, sounding suggestive and alluring. “Today's lesson: How to make your husband do exactly what you say.” Fierce, irritable, 190-centimeter-tall Doberman-type gong × cool, composed master of training “dogs” shou 1. A little “good dog” fiction. 2. Pure sweetness. Theme: Stay strong and keep living, even when faced with difficulties.
