A gentle, woody-scented, gravity-wielding masked assassin 0 x a dapper, outspoken, gentlemanly and gentle researcher 1
Wen Han never imagined that one rainy night, that person would be sitting in a miserable heap outside his coffee shop, looking utterly lost.
He was the love of his life, someone he'd pined for over many years without ever being able to have. The closest they'd ever come was back in college, when Wen Han sat in front of him and slipped him a test paper without meeting his eyes.
But when he came closer, he realized this wasn't that person, just a humanoid robot with the same face, a lifelike body temperature, and even breathing.

This is an era of advanced automation, with AI applied to all kinds of everyday tasks. Most people enjoy the convenience AI brings, but a small minority are wary of it.
No, perhaps they should say they're wary of the Comprehensive Surveillance Act, which is awaiting approval. If it passes, all AI in the country will be connected to the National Intelligence and Investigation Bureau, exposing everyone to AI surveillance and leaving them with no privacy at all.
To fight the act, this group of people formed the Unknown Club on their own initiative. They move among the public, doing everything they can to prevent the act from being implemented.
At this time, Qi Yusen, a star researcher at the National Intelligence and Investigation Bureau and the son of the country's biggest AI manufacturer, was taken to court for reasons that could not be made public. On the way to prison, he fell ill.
No one knew he'd already conspired with a friend to seal away his consciousness and transfer it into a humanoid robot, successfully pulling off a complete switch.
And no one could have imagined that as he wore a mask, his AI robot barcode, and enjoyed the freedom of walking down the street, someone would recognize him from nothing more than his eyes.
He hadn't imagined it either: his old classmate, a kind and gentle-looking man with gravity powers who seemed to have a bit of a crush on him, was actually a professional assassin who went out saying he was going to check on the shop, while carrying a sniper rifle and taking out one target a second???
