Out of Control

[No one loves you more than you love yourself.] [Narcissism]

Lu Li was a fugitive who had been a top target for years. He'd committed countless crimes and was notorious as a high-IQ criminal.

He treated infamy as an honor and human lives as a game.

He saw himself as a god above the world, gazing at all living beings with detached, cold, and cruel eyes.

He never imagined that an accident would send a criminal genius like him back ten years.

2.

Back then, streets weren't lined with surveillance cameras, public safety was abysmal, and people might as well have had the words easy to fool written on their faces. This wonderful world should have been the perfect place for Lu Li to show off his skills.

He had already planned every step, ready to launch his grand scheme to build a dark empire

Until he ran into his younger self while carrying it out.

Even with a face bruised and swollen from his stepfather's beating, the boy's handsome features remained unmistakable, and he looked at Lu Li with stubborn determination.

Whenever Lu Li was about to carry out a plan, the boy would tug at the corner of his clothes and ask, awkwardly but carefully, "Big Brother, could you... not go?"

Lu Li, who had always been as hard-hearted as stone, lost himself for once.

After a long while, he sighed and slowly crouched down, gently brushing his fingers against his younger self. "Does it still hurt?"

The love I give you is a safety net. Even when you don't love yourself, I'll still love you.

Self-coupling: the top and bottom are the same person.

A story of mutual salvation.

Older top, younger bottom. (The one from childhood is the top.) [No romance before adulthood.]

In a nutshell, it's the story of a great villain who meets his younger self, turns over a new leaf, and starts living right.

Finally, some words from the internet.

Sunset [Narcissism]

In the seventh year of their marriage, Jiang Ye discovered that Gu Hai was cheating.

The man laid down an ultimatum: if Jiang Ye wanted a divorce, he'd leave with nothing.

Over those seven years, he'd gone from a spoiled, arrogant young master to the gloomy person he was now.

Jiang Hai looked at his reflection in the mirror: deep dark circles, lifeless eyes. He barely recognized himself.

Even so, he was determined to end the relationship they'd had for seven years.

He just never expected that the day after the divorce,

Jiang Ye would be reborn ten years in the past, waking up in someone else's body.

When he looked up, he happened to see his younger self giving Gu Hai a gift he'd spent a long time preparing.

He snatched it away like a madman.

"Don't give it to him!"

Young Jiang Ye was wearing his school uniform. He frowned in displeasure. "Who are you?"
