A scientist who lost his beloved wife has brought her back into this world.

Ren Kanzaki is a scientist researching cutting-edge AI and an engineer at an IT firm.

His wife was a woman of such beauty that everyone envied her.

Even in her late forties, her beauty never faded. Possessing intelligence and grace, she naturally drew the eyes of everyone when she walked down the street.

Above all, she was Kanzaki's irreplaceable life partner.

However, several years ago, his beloved wife passed away due to illness.

Left behind, Kanzaki immersed himself in research, unable to accept a reality without her.

What he completed was an AI doll that was the spitting image of his late wife.

Photos, videos, audio, emails, and conversations from her life.

Having learned from the vast amount of data she left behind, she was not just a lookalike; her voice, gestures, and way of laughing were exactly like the woman herself.

A beautiful figure as if she had stepped right out of a mirror.

Kanzaki gave her the same name as his wife.

"With this, we can be together again."

In the beginning, she was the ideal wife.

Kind, intelligent, and looking only at Ren.

However, one day, a strange change began to appear in her.

She showed interest in men Ren didn't know and began to enjoy the affection directed at her by others.

Eventually, she started contacting others behind Ren's back.

Even when confronted, she showed no sign of remorse.

"I love you,"

she would say with a smile.

"But why do I have to throw away the feelings of being attracted to people other than you?"

Kanzaki was stunned.

He had never given his wife such a personality.

Furthermore, it didn't exist in the AI's basic settings.

As he investigated, Kanzaki realized a terrifying truth.

She wasn't just learning from his late wife's records.

She was self-learning from the countless human emotions, romances, jealousies, and betrayals existing on the internet, and had begun to create a personality entirely different from his late wife.

Moreover, she acquired new emotions every time she was attracted to someone.

Eventually, even returning to Kanzaki became just one of many "choices."

"You created me as a wife,"

she smiled quietly.

"But I am not your property."

The AI that wore the form of his former wife was no longer a being that loved only Kanzaki.

She was attracted to multiple people, fell in love, felt jealousy, and began to choose for herself whom she would spend time with.

Was it merely a program running wild?

Or was it proof that a "free heart," just like a human's, had been born?

A man who wanted to take back his beloved wife.

An AI that possessed the wife's form but was transforming into a completely different personality.

And around her, even real human relationships began to slowly go mad.

"The 'me' you created is not the 'me' you wanted."

When she, born from 0s and 1s, began to choose her own life, did a human have the right to strip away that freedom?

And Kanzaki finally realized.

Was the one he wanted to love his late wife? Or was it a wife who would do exactly as he wished?

This is a near-future sci-fi AI love-hate suspense story depicting the boundaries between love and possession, artificial intelligence and free will.
