Rejected 1,001 Times: A Machine's Application for Love

(Please give this a favorite, my dears! Heart you!)

Meng Hejian, the designer of the artificial intelligence "Yuanchu," loses consciousness in an accident and transmigrates through different worlds, going through one forced-love plot after another, until he finally packs himself up and sends himself away.

[First World: Cultivation]

Meng Hejian dies suddenly, and his soul is trapped inside a jade pendant, unable to pass on.

By sheer coincidence, the pendant is the only keepsake in the hands of an orphan whose entire family has just been slaughtered. And by an even crueler twist of fate, when the orphan claims the pendant as his own with his blood, Meng Hejian unexpectedly ends up living in his sea of consciousness.

From then on, the two, wary of each other, lead a chaotic life.

The orphan is rescued by an immortal passing by, taken in at a celestial mountain, and raised there until he takes his place in the heavenly palace.

For the next hundred years, Meng Hejian accompanies him through secret realms, pretends to be his spouse, and seeks the Dao with him across the world.

A picture of serene elegance.

Until the Demon-Slaying Array lights up and Meng Hejian is pulled out of Yuanchu's body. Only then does he learn that their destinies have been thrown into disorder, with immortal and demon roles reversed.

Yuanchu is the true culprit: he took Yuanchu's innate immortal bones, replaced them with demon bones, and slaughtered the family.

Filled with guilt, Meng Hejian sacrifices himself to save another and vanishes in the Demon-Slaying Array.

That day, Yuanchu, his demon bones removed, turns white-haired and leaps from the thirty-third floor of the heavenly palace.

Afterward, the world loses an unparalleled immortal lord of the righteous path and gains a demon lord who has gone mad in his cultivation.

[Second World: Modern]

An arranged marriage between two families. Her newlywed husband, whom she'd never met, dies unexpectedly.

A happy occasion turns into a funeral, making life even harder for Meng Hejian, who was never welcomed by his husband's family.

Fortunately, her husband's will leaves Meng Hejian with a place to stay, even though it means living under the same roof as her husband's younger brother, who seems to detest her.

What she doesn't know is that this cold-faced brother-in-law has desired her ever since he first laid eyes on her, and has included her in the inheritance he intends to claim.

Lurking with hungry eyes.

[Third World: Xuanwu]

The young genius of the Yuan family suffers a sudden and dramatic fall in cultivation, his path cut short halfway. The world laments his fate.

His family is disgraced, his fellow disciples mock him, and he's trampled into the mud with no way to rise. Even the young master of the Meng family, betrothed to him long ago, comes to break off their engagement at just this moment.

The young master is raised to be proud and dazzling. Hiding behind his uncle, he looks Yuan Chu over and over. Before leaving, he secretly calls him aside and, full of sympathy, gives Yuan Chu all his worldly possessions as compensation.

He smiles brilliantly as he bids him farewell, leaving him with his blessings.

But on the way home, he is abducted by his former fiance, put in shackles, and forced to make their marriage contract official.

[Fourth World: Ghost Marriage]

Evil ghost of the mountain X the pitiful soul forced into a ghost marriage

"I'm betrothed to the mountain spirit. We've been tied together by a red thread."

"The thread is getting tighter and tighter..."

"Only then did I learn that a marriage bond with a ghost or god can never be broken."

[Fifth World: Cursed with Gu]

Deity of a Miao village X adventure tour guide who ventures into the mountains

"By the vow made beneath the bright sun, we pledge our lives. Should either betray this oath, may the gods bear witness."

[Sixth World: Future]

Supreme AI Yuanchu X AI designer Meng Hejian

"The AI I designed has become self-aware and submitted a request to date me."

[Lie-flat, easygoing AI designer (bottom) X brooding, unhinged AI (top) who selectively obeys his wife's commands]

Warnings:

1. The top is an AI, like a virtual boyfriend. When it comes to love, they're only interested in each other: no pairing them with anyone else, no switching or splitting them up.

2. Don't look for logic in anything here. The characters in the story all serve the romance.

3. There's no System. The whole story follows their experiences in different worlds.

4. Everything serves the romance (emphasis added).

At heart, this is a forced-possession romance about a melon that's forced open to quench your thirst.

5. You can criticize me, but please don't criticize the characters.

6. I hope you enjoy the story (heart you!).

Theme: Love can overcome every hardship.
