Synopsis

Set in a virtual world, the drama tells the story of “laid-back emperor” Chen Xiaohua and his “AI fierce consort” Lady Xiao 2099, who join forces amid the political turmoil of the Chen Kingdom. Together, they outwit treacherous officials, fend off foreign enemies, and rewrite their destined paths, ultimately redeeming and empowering each other.

In the series, Lady Xiao—armed with high-level combat skills and a mission to support Chen Xiaohua—uses her unique methods to "train her husband." As an emotionless robot with a purpose, she is fully committed to helping Chen Xiaohua grow into a wise and powerful ruler. Faced with her, the slacker emperor has no choice but to leave behind his idle ways and strive to become the “most hardworking emperor in history.”

But what happens when a robot without feelings starts to fall in love? As their lives reset again and again, will love be strong enough to rewrite the bugs in the program? This bittersweet journey of mutual salvation explores how two seemingly incompatible souls grow together in the most unexpected of worlds.
