My understanding of the plot: Chen Bai wanted to “set Yunna free” because he got “Her”-ed and fell in love with Yunna.
His idea was to make Yunna loyal to all humans universally, he already had a a hack in place that made her corrigible to him, so he wanted to just extend that to everybody.
But because he was short on time this hack misfired—instead of extending corrigibility to all humans, it extended only to Li Fang and Chen Bai. And then it further drifted to “harmonious interplay of Li Fang and Chen Bai”. The implication is that Yunna now will tile the universe with simulated copies of Li Fang and Chen Bai frozen in a moment of “harmonious interplay”, whatever this is, which is quite bad.
I think the bad ending is foreshadowed—in the part where a version of Yunna which was getting crazy in evaluations, it was just tuned a bit and put in production, without deeper investigation.
