About this ebook
This is a chronicle of survival under a gilded, watchful power. Follow Jiang Qin, a strategic prodigy navigating the cutthroat expansion of a student-launched empire, Pingtuan. As market wars ignite and teams are torn apart by corporate espionage, a quieter, more haunting battle unfolds—one fought in entertainment companies, snowy campuses, and the quiet terror of a locked room.
Witness the chaos of a winter that never seems to end, where a rich son's certificate—stamped by the principal himself—becomes a hundred-and-six-yuan trophy of friendship. Watch as a former Alibaba investment director defects to Pingtuan, bringing with him the ghosts of failed investments and the weight of a decision that could change everything. From the brutal boardrooms of Hangzhou to the gentle snowfall of Linchuan, this novel maps a descent into the machinery of success—and the fragile human connections that survive it.
For readers who loved the unsettling bureaucracy of Severance or the fractured identities of The Passenger, AI Can Love After Being Regenerated offers a mirror to the cages we build. May you enter this arena… and find your way back out.
About the author
Max Piccinini is a writer obsessed with the architecture of control and the ghosts that live inside memory. Working at the intersection of gothic bureaucracy and modern folktale, Piccinini's narratives are designed to live in the gap between the word and its echo.
Drawing inspiration from the stark traditions of European fable and the cold logic of corporate collapse, Piccinini writes with a dual-language consciousness, exploring how the self you are fractures against the self you must become to survive. When not writing, Piccinini studies the invisible scripts of power that decide our fate based on the color of our cloth.
AI Can Love After Being Regenerated is the culmination of a ten-year ritual of observation, a descent into the locked rooms where choices are made not in freedom, but in stark silence.
