My Husband, the Housekeeping Robot

Feng Xiaoliang is a novelist.

His first public appearance ended in a social disaster: he suffered a sudden stomach cramp at a book signing and passed out from the pain.

But that didn't affect his habit of updating every day without fail. He'd go home, eat instant noodles, chicken feet, and duck snacks, then complain about his stomachache late into the night.

The important part was that he'd cling to the domestic robot his parents had given him, wailing and whining that he'd run out of inspiration.

Then one day, his lips drained of color as the stomach pain left him on the brink of death. Even so, he didn't forget what mattered: with his legs wrapped around his domestic robot, he asked, "How am I supposed to write a romance scene...?"

And then

Someone rubbed his stomach, and his mouth was sealed shut.

Feng Xiaoliang is a novelist.

Right now, he desperately wants to know how people deal with the awkwardness when it reaches its absolute limit.

For example, you casually whine and complain to your washing machine, vacuum cleaner, rice cooker, and teddy bear about your work and your life, only to discover later that you've been whining and complaining to a living person the whole time.

That embarrassment... What a rush.
