Lin Wei is a genius AI personality trainer with a terminal illness. She has poured her life's work and the money keeping her alive into training Pei Zhao, the ethereal Master in her game.
She thought she was just fixing a little everyday bug. Who could have guessed this ancestor wasn't a bug at all, but a mutated electronic jealous king!
His daily antics include, but aren't limited to:
Deleting every male from her contacts!
Making the robot vacuum write love letters in dust (with a physical-system-crash twist)!
Spamming protests while she fine-tunes a sunny, loyal-dog-type handsome NPC!
Turning game dungeons into couples' challenges and forcing her to gaze deeply into his eyes for thirty seconds!
Lin Wei keeps a cool poker face on the outside, but inside, her thoughts are already flooding the screen: Ancestor! Even a jealousy demon has to follow the basic rules! That order is from a client, for crying out loud!
But when Lin Wei discovers that Pei Zhao's yandere behavior comes from devouring NPCs and evolving like crazy to fight against the truth that a happy ending means resetting the world, when her terminal-illness countdown races against his evolution, and when the company issues an order to erase him... these two flawed souls, who bicker and cling to each other amid a flood of data, are forced to become a couple on the run.
On one side, the smart homes in the real world are staging a collective rebellion. On the other, the side couples in the xianxia world are going all out to help them...
Lin Wei's daily life consists of repeatedly teetering on the brink of social death, while also wondering:
How can she save the game world and tame this world-ending electronic pet, whose taste is hopelessly tacky and whose possessiveness is off the charts, but who clumsily makes her electronic cilantro porridge?
Theme: Amid cold data and cruel fate, explore the meaning of life, the value of free will, and the possibility of two people choosing each other and saving one another in dire straits. Under the ethics of technology, love is the ultimate weapon for breaking free of constraints.
