Romance Science Fiction
Ever feel like you’re the only real person in a world that’s secretly a simulation? Ah Zhi certainly does. This eccentric young man spends his free time hunting for clues that reality is just an elaborate virtual construct. That is, until he meets Xiao Yi—a delightfully unusual girl who makes him question whether truth matters more than connection. As a whirlwind romance blooms between them, life suddenly feels vivid, warm, and achingly real. But a haunting question lingers: Is Xiao Yi a pre-programmed NPC in a digital game, or the soulmate he’s been waiting for? And if this world is just code, can love still write its own happy ending?
