Yuri and Narcissus Collection

1: The Mirror Girl

In front of everyone, you look radiant, but the mirror lays bare every scar. The you inside the mirror reaches out with all her might, and finally touches you.

"Can't accept it? Then let me live your life for you. I'll take revenge on everyone who wronged you."

The self in the mirror x the self in reality

2: I Am Myself, Not the Empress.

She stands behind a beaded curtain, studying the haggard woman on the bed. How can this be her? How can it be her?

She steps back and accidentally knocks over a screen. So this is what she will look like ten years from now.

The eighteen-year-old self x the twenty-eight-year-old self.

3: Love Doesn't Disappear, It Just Moves On.

I was reborn in the past by chance, and decided to save my younger self, who was hopelessly in love. But she won't listen to reason, and she's fallen for me.

Me: Fine, at least it's better than her loving some jerk. (collapses)

Things don't seem to have gotten any better, but I'm willing to accept all of myself. I love myself more than I love anyone else.

The twenty-eight-year-old self x the eighteen-year-old self.

4: The Clone

[Obsessive Clone x Gentle, Resolute Scientist]

[Li Xia x Xie Wanqiu]

1

In the summer of 3320, the apocalypse broke out and zombies overran the world. I worried that, as a human, I wouldn't be able to love her for long, so I created another "me," a powerful "me" who would spend the rest of her life by her side in my place.

2

I thought I was going to die, but I woke up in someone else's arms. She had long, flowing hair and a wound on her back from a zombie's claws. My clone, whom I had created with my own hands, had damaged her chip to save me.

3

She has beautiful blue-violet eyes. I remember my beloved saying she liked me very much, and that I'd be even better with a pair of blue-violet eyes.

4

I taught her how to live and how to love, but she cornered me. The kiss was passionate, and I heard her say, "Loving yourself is the beginning of a lifelong romance."

(The original blurb is for the fourth story.)

Theme: All the unhappiness in this world, all my unhappiness, vanished the moment I met you
