    A fake narcissist! (After transmigrating into a book, she shares a body with the original owner), this is so captivating!! You can never guess what will happen next. Just like the comments in the book say, the author should write an infinite flow novel; it's amazing! The author's writing is also excellent. (Because his life was already bitter enough, the gods sent Wen Jiaran down. From then on, I am you, and you are me. We share the same body and enjoy the same heartbeat. If gazing at each other is a spiritual kiss without lust, then holding hands is a spiritual communion without eroticism.) The intertwining of two timelines blurs the boundaries between Wen Jiaran and Lu Yanzhe's encounter. The seemingly illusory "him" in the eyes of others experiences repeated mental breakdowns, making it difficult to distinguish whether it's Zhuangzi dreaming of a butterfly or a butterfly dreaming of Zhuangzi. They are the only one in each other's eyes, the only reality in the illusory world. From the beginning of the story, when Wen Jiaran entered Lu Yanzhe's body, this forgotten reunion quietly occurred, broken and then pieced back together. The world was pieced together again because of them. Memories, like thousands of fragments, emerge little by little as they steadfastly search for each other, like butterflies. I believe you exist, even if the whole world refutes it, I will always believe that you are my eternal reality! [Sending a heart]

    First book: !!! Warning: Not a clean romance! Not a strong bottom! Please read the synopsis and read the warnings carefully!!! [Laughs] Gu Yan x Chu Qi (Chu Yang) is a redemption and guidance story. The bottom is extremely bullied, almost raised in captivity from a very young age, completely losing contact with the world. He is often bullied in various situations, causing him to be slow to react and even afraid of others (for example, if someone raises their hand, he thinks they are going to hit him, but doesn't dare to dodge).

Even with Lu Heyang's repeated amnesia, his heart always recognizes you first.
