Mr Love: Queen's Choice (Chinese: 恋与制作人; pinyin: Liàn yǔ zhìzuò rén; lit. Love and Producer) is a Chinese female oriented visual novel mobile game that allows players to text, chat and call the male leads while developing her own career as a media producer.

The game takes place in a world filled with superpowers and fantasy. The protagonist is an unnamed heroine who gets involved with 4 male characters with powers. The game allows players to choose their romance path and experience mystery and conflict in a deep story spanning dozens of episodes.

The game was first released in Mainland China on December 14, 2017.[3] It was later released on March 20, 2019 on Google Play in the UK[4] and two months later in other English-speaking territories.[5][7] It was also released in Japan as Love and Producer ~EVOL×LOVE~ (Japanese: 恋とプロデューサー ～EVOL×LOVE～, Hepburn: Koi to Purodyūsā ～EVOL×LOVE～) on July 3, 2019.[6]

An anime television series adaptation by MAPPA aired from July 15 to September 30, 2020.

The success of the game has caused comment in Chinese and international media, which noted that women preferred the game to dating real men despite the gender imbalance in China following the government's one-child policy, which has resulted in more boys being born than girls.[8][9]

On June 4, 2021, it was announced Papergames cut ties with voice actor Jonah Scott for saying "Taiwan is a country" on Twitter. In response to it, Sean Chiplock and Joe Zieja have also stepped down from the game.[10] On June 7, 2021, in an update by the Game's different social media accounts, Victor, as well as Gavin and Kiro (the characters voiced by Joe Zieja and Sean Chiplock respectively), were all going to appear in the upcoming English Chapters without voices included, confirming Joe and Sean also being removed as voices from the game.

Background[]

Red Queen Hypothesis[]

'In this world, it takes all the running you can do to keep in the same place...'

In the cruel natural selection, species must evolve faster than others to gain a favorable position in the biological chain.

Those who believe in the Red Queen hypothesis insist that humans should actively seek changes in order to rule nature.

Evol[]

"Evol" ('love' backwards) is a special ability that only appears in very few people. In other words, a superpower.

Those who with Evol are "Evolvers", super-evolved humans.

Advanced evolutionary genes have made Evolvers transcend humans.

Black Swan Project[]

The Black Swan Project, also known as the Perfect Human Genetic Transform Program, is a plan to find ways to reform humans by studying Evol genes.

Through this plan, normal humans can become Evolvers, which is an opportunity to change the world.

Black Swan Queen[]

The Black Swan Queen is the most special of all evolvers.

The Queen's genes can awaken and strengthen the ability of others, which is a key factor in launching the Black Swan program.
