The Liar's Paradox

The Romanov Era series, Book 2: The Liar's Paradox A companion to A Russian Survival Story, with the same class system (a fictional modern absolute monarchy) and worldbuilding. Quietly seeking advance readers while I build up a backlog!!!! A girl with Asperger's syndrome named Elle dies. By a twist of fate, she gets three chances to travel through time and return to the past, all to save the aristocratic boy Cyril, who shoots himself after killing her. Only by changing the past can he and she survive. [Low-empathy oddball girl x boy with antisocial personality disorder] [Unfavored genius stepdaughter x arrogant aristocratic heir] See how a gifted, autistic girl gets closer to the darling of the heavens, a boy with antisocial personality disorder, one step at a time, doing whatever it takes just to stay alive. [Following him, watching him, peeking at him before bed...] [Elle begins keeping a close eye on him 24/7, ] [The truly unhinged Cyril finally snaps, pulls back the shower curtain, and grits his teeth: Are you a pervert or something?] [Elle looks completely innocent and cries out in shock: How dare you slander an honest person?!?!?!] [World One: Childhood]: Seven-year-old Elle, still unable to speak clearly, clumsily moves her limbs as she watches Cyril expressionlessly snap a bird's neck. Faced with the first signs of antisocial behavior in the disturbed child Cyril, Elle's main strategy is to nervously stay by his side. [World Two: Patricide]: Elle returns to the age of twelve. Waiting for her is fourteen-year-old Cyril, already cruel, cold, and well on his way to becoming a pervert. She tremblingly tugs on his sleeve and smiles ingratiatingly (or so she thinks). [World Three: Peril]: Elle arrives one year before the true timeline, just two hours before sixteen-year-old Cyril is kidnapped. She has only one chance left to stop it all. A pure-love fairy tale about a clumsy oddball and a cold-hearted monster. Between murder and redemption, they begin to learn how to love. A fated cycle of reincarnation and an unbreakable promise, writing a love that seems like a lie in the cracks of time. [Parallel timelines] [Two-way transmigration] [Multiverse] [Time loop] Warnings: 1. The physics is a complete mess, and there will be plenty of plot holes. My greatest goal is to make the story internally consistent. 2. The female lead is not normal, a bit like Sheldon: high IQ, extremely low EQ. 3. The characters have been artistically adapted. Please don't expect strict historical or factual accuracy. Elle and Cyril have already appeared as supporting characters in A Russian Survival Story. Feel free to check it out if you're interested. This book is very similar to A Russian Survival Story. Both are stories about protagonists struggling to overcome emotional disorders that have left them incomplete from birth. Theme: You are the person I love most in this world, which I detest beyond words.
