A stubborn little cat, cool on the outside and warm inside x a laid-back, easygoing crow woman

Blurb:

After the Taoist temple that had taken her in was wiped out overnight, Lin Zhen, a walking jinx, thought she would never get close to anyone again.

But who could have predicted what fate had in store? In a strange, uncanny world, a woman in red with gentle eyes took her hand.

"Lin Zhen. I've always been by your side."

In an instant, a corner of her sealed memories spilled forth like the light of dawn.

"Have we met somewhere before?"

Lin Zhen, usually so composed, chose the most clichéd opening line.

But the other woman's amber eyes flickered, and she didn't answer.

A thousand versions of you. Worlds collapse, but we will always meet again.

Little Scenes:

1.

One day, Chang Xiaoguo saw her friend Lin Zhen, the Ice Queen, staring blankly at a wooden hairpin with a flushed face.

How strange. Was there something special about that hairpin?

Then one day, Chang Xiaoguo was astonished to see that familiar hairpin on the head of an NPC in another world.

All right, she admitted that the woman was beautiful.

But hadn't you said you didn't like women? What was all that effort I put into introducing obedient junior students to you over all these years for? Was I just being an idiot?

The idiot was devastated...

2.

When she lowered her eyes to look at me, God's love for humanity became tangible...

Lin Zhen watched Luo Ri sleeping soundly, curled up in her pillow, and for some reason the words suddenly came to mind.

"Can God have a favorite person...?" she murmured, feeling the possessiveness swelling inside her and the tenderness she couldn't explain turn her into someone else.

The daylight was dim. Luo Ri woke from her sleep and smiled when she saw Lin Zhen.

"What brings you here?"

Lin Zhen suddenly felt that nothing else mattered.

As long as this person was by her side, nothing else mattered...

Though separated by thousands of miles, those who love you will cross through time and space thousands of times, just to return to your side...

Luo Ri's point of view:

She was a rose grown in the palm of her hand,

the reason she journeyed through worlds of cause and effect.

When they met again in another world,

she had blossomed into a lovely young woman and forgotten her completely.

"Who are you? What's your name?"

All she could do was keep silent. She should be a free flower, not trapped in the mire of cause and effect.

But unbeknownst to her, the girl she still thought of as young had long since developed feelings for her...

[A story about a girl who can see the dead and a crow woman begins like this.]

Content Warnings:

1. The close female friends in the blurb are genuinely just friends. One is straight, with no romantic feelings between them.

2. The junior student at the beginning is a minor character and dies in chapter two.

3. The Republican-era setting is entirely fictional, with no historical research or real-world references intended. I made it all up.

4. This is not a world inhabited exclusively by women. I might write one in the future, but this isn't it. There will even be a male police officer in his thirties with a chauvinistic attitude. There are men in the other worlds too, but they have no connection to the protagonists and appear only briefly.

5. I'll add more if I think of anything. This is my first time writing, and I appreciate your support! Love you all. If you like it, please add me to your favorites as much as you like!
