My Wife Is an Alien

Chen Yu, a 32-year-old grassroots technician, has long been weary of the rat race and social pretenses, seeking only a pure-hearted and stable partner to live out his remaining years in peace. A routine blind date introduces him to Su Yan. She is flawlessly perfect—indifferent to wealth, averse to comparison, gentle and composed, seemingly without a past, and beyond reproach in every action. Their married life is so serene it feels almost surreal, yet the longer they are together, the more peculiarities surface: she only stares blankly at human conflicts, mimics smiles without warmth in her eyes, effortlessly solves all practical problems, yet fails to comprehend human greed and malice. She is impervious to pain and weather, wounds heal on their own, and her memory is photographic. As Chen Yu gradually uncovers the truth, he learns that Su Yan is not an interstellar powerhouse or a fallen noble, but an observation vessel abandoned by a higher-dimensional civilization—born without love, hate, or desire, her sole purpose being to record and replicate human emotions. She can imitate everything in the world, except love. But after meeting Chen Yu, her cold programming begins to sprout emotions uniquely her own, driving her to defy the higher-dimensional reset mechanism for the sake of an ordinary man. Chen Yu suddenly realizes that what he married is not a perfect wife, but the unique tenderness of the human world, quietly grown from the cold, vast galaxy. — Description from novelcodex.org
