Reborn: Alone with My Shadow

Reborn: A Love for Oneself

I originally had several ideas for this story: lovers who hurt and scheme against each other, with love tangled up in exploitation and restraint. I seem to write characters who are always terribly conflicted, their love either tempered by calculation or tainted by obsessive madness. Then today, I happened to see a line: Love is compassion.

So I decided to write a heartwarming story.

Since you've been reborn, why not be a little kinder to your past self? Don't be so hard on yourself. Let yourself have a happy ending.

Gu Chao'en: Qin Ying, if no one loves you, then let me be the one who does.

This is a story about falling in love with yourself after being reborn, a narcissistic romance.

Theme: A love for oneself
