Mu Yuan suffered from an incurable illness and died young.
After waking up, she unexpectedly found herself inside a brain-computer device released by Xiyuan Tech, as a newly launched virtual assistant.
An electronic virtual character bearing the face and name of a real person was quickly recognized by people who had known her in life, and hurriedly reported and taken offline.
For some reason, though, she sensed that someone out there had secretly kept a backup of her.
Her childhood friend was cold and aloof, but clumsily tried to please her whenever they were alone. Mu Yuan thought he was too clingy, and once got caught chatting with another guy by accident.
Now, the man still wore a deadpan expression, his posture ramrod straight and his military uniform immaculate. One moment, his eyes brimmed with hatred as he ordered the virtual assistant not to speak in her voice. The next, he said, "Never mind. This is fine."
Mu Yuan: ...If you're sick, get treatment early.
Her business rival prided himself on having everything go his way and rarely suffering defeat. The few times he had lost, it had always been to Mu Yuan. If she fell into his hands, she would surely be in for a humiliating time.
"Kneel down," the smiling-tiger of a man said, softly voicing his cruel command. Then he frowned. "That doesn't suit you."
With a thought, he put on a charming smile, wrapped an arm around her waist, and pulled her onto his lap. Still dissatisfied, he added, "She would have slapped me across the face by now."
Mu Yuan: ...Fine. I'll make your wish come true.
There was also the genius researcher she had imprisoned and forced to treat her illness, who had endured her malicious humiliations countless times, and the adopted son her parents had brought in to inherit the family business and fill the vacancy she left behind.
Mu Yuan opened her mouth to reveal the truth, then silently shut it again.
Because she was facing two huge problems.
First, she couldn't let these men, who abused their power for personal gain and secretly kept her backup, discover that she was actually the real person.
Second, she hadn't died of an incurable illness. She had been murdered.
The person who killed her might be one of these men.
