Julian Reed falls for a supposed robot modeled on rival Kyle Voth, then learns the unit never shipped and the man in his bed is Kyle himself.
Episode 1–8English
Julian Reed, captain of the North Star Knights, sits out the season with a knee injury and impulsively purchases a one-dollar bionic companion crafted to look like Kyle Voth, the opponent he has clashed with on the ice for four years. Convinced the machine cannot refuse him, he lets his guard down and develops deep feelings for the silent figure sharing his bed.
A routine phone notification shatters the illusion: the 01 unit has not yet shipped. The person Julian has been embracing is not a robot but Kyle Voth in the flesh — the same rival who once claimed to hate him — revealing a deception that upends everything Julian believed about their connection.
