This short novel is expected to wrap up within a dozen or so chapters.
Dual male leads: An Mo (20) x An Linmo (30), a self-love pairing.
An Linmo, a down-and-out writer, has long grown used to the disappointment of having his manuscripts rejected. Then one day, his younger self, “An Mo,” suddenly appears before him. The once-spirited young man cannot accept that his future self has become so dispirited, and angrily demands to know why he gave up on his dream.
Through their arguments and clashes, An Mo sees the weariness and fear An Linmo has kept buried, while An Linmo rediscovers the passion he had long lost in his younger self. They begin writing together, and An Mo’s sharpness blends with An Linmo’s hard-won depth, bringing their words back to life. As their new work succeeds, An Linmo finally steps out of the shadows, and An Mo understands that true redemption does not mean changing the past, but accepting who you are now.
This is a journey of reconciling with oneself across time. When youthful brilliance meets the ease of maturity, they learn to love every version of themselves at every stage of life.
