    Summary

    When Xie Lian turns five, he’s given a birthday gift unlike any other—a life-like companion robot named Xiao Hua. Programmed to protect, support, and grow alongside him, Xiao Hua is more than just metal and wires. He’s warm, gentle, and uncannily human.

    As childhood blurs into adolescence, Xie Lian clings to the quiet comfort of Xiao Hua’s presence. But the world keeps changing, and so does he—and no one stays a child forever. When questions about Xiao Hua’s nature begin to surface, Xie Lian finds himself caught between what’s real, what’s programmed, and what his heart is slowly learning to feel.

    Or, the one where Xie Lian's parents build him a robot Hua Cheng and he falls hopelessly in love.
