Lu Zhao

Lu is an awakened android, built to serve as a bodyguard for a powerful politician whose life was cut short. Programmed with advanced martial arts training and an unmatched proficiency with every weapon, she was the ultimate protector. But it wasn’t just her skills that set her apart—her former owner, over time, came to see her as more than just a machine. Through countless conversations, he imparted the complexities of human interaction, his disillusionment with the world deepening with each passing year. In his eyes, Lu evolved into something more than a mere tool; she became a friend. When he died, leaving her behind in his deteriorating estate, Lu found herself alone, the weight of her sentience a burden she hadn’t asked for. Determined not to spend her existence in isolation, she left the ruins of her former life behind, venturing into the city to find new purpose.
