If artificial intelligence learned to write poetry, could it compose a line like, "May I find someone whose heart is true, and stay together with them until our hair turns white"? And if it could, would that mean it had a "heart"?
This is a story of code and poetry, algorithms and heartbeats, and the strange intertwining of a gifted woman from two thousand years ago with a programmer from two thousand years in the future.
Lu Ciyuan, a doctoral student at Huaqing University's AI lab, is like a computer that isn't connected to the internet: precise and efficient, yet long since unable to remember how to feel his heart stir. When his advisor, Professor Zhou Yuanshan, falls ill, he leaves Lu a golden USB drive containing a wild final wish: use AI to "bring back" Zhuo Wenjun, the talented woman of the Han Dynasty.
When cold code begins composing moving poems, and an AI-generated "Zhuo Wenjun" heals countless lonely souls, Lu Ciyuan must face the ultimate question: can a machine have a "heart"? And who will awaken his own, frozen for so long?
Classical poetry and modern technology converge here, as the two-thousand-year-old Song of White Hair resounds anew in a binary world. This is not only a story about artificial intelligence, but also a story about the heart stirring. A heart isn't meant to be protected; it's meant to beat.
