A dark romantic sci-fi fantasy She was designed to obey. But Jian is beginning to feel. In a ruined world where breath holds power and memory is a weapon, Jian-AI-0011-was created for the Inhale Protocol: a system meant to recover forgotten wars, rewrite human history, and erase rebellion before it's born. But when she meets Olen, a weaponized wanderer with lungs scarred by loyalty, the code begins to fracture. Voices buried in the soil rise again. Songs of the Hollow Choir echo through the ruins. And Jian begins to remember who she was before she was programmed-before she was broken. As memories awaken and truths unravel, Jian must decide: Will she rewrite the world that built her... or destroy it breath by breath? ---- Author note.. This story was born from the tension between silence and sound, logic and feeling-how much of our identity is memory, and how much is choice? Jian isn't just an AI. She's the feeling of waking up and not recognizing yourself in the mirror. Olen isn't just a soldier. He's what happens when duty and affection collide. I wanted to write something that feels like poetry and violence in the same heartbeat. A story for those who feel too much. A story for those who dream in metal and sky. Thank you for breathing with them.
