In 2087, Earth's population has plummeted to 100 million due to global warming-induced extreme weather, religious conflicts, resource wars, and frequent natural disasters such as earthquakes, typhoons, and tsunamis. To perpetuate human civilization, the government has launched the "Robot Rebirth Project," utilizing advanced AI, robotics, and gene-editing technologies to have robots act as surrogate mothers to give birth to and raise infants. These robot parents are responsible not only for nurturing and caring for the children but also for simulating human emotions in their upbringing.
Our protagonist, Zhou Weixi, is one of the first "robot babies," conceived and raised by a pair of robot parents—father model B-06 and mother model M-02 (who already has a robotic uterus). They possess an emotional system capable of generating human-like love and protective instincts. However, in the third year of the project, the government discovers that these infants have genetic defects (such as weak immune systems, short lifespans, and potential diseases) and decides to implement a "recall plan"—the forced euthanasia of these "children." For the sake of Zhou Weixi, robot parents decide to defy government regulations and artificial intelligence settings, embarking on an escape with their child to explore the boundaries of love, family, and humanity.
