On a summer day when she was sixteen, Lin Xu filled the bathtub with water and calmly picked up a fruit knife...
"Hello, could you open the door?"
"...Who is it?"
The woman's voice outside was as cold as frost in late autumn, but why did it sound so familiar?
"It's you from the future."
Su Yin. It sounded like a name a child might invent in a daydream, not the name of a real person. She defied time and the gods, traveling a great distance to save herself.
"Su Yin, if calling each other that between siblings is immoral, what should we call what we have?"
The woman fell silent, then chuckled. "A crime against all decency?"
In the end, when Lin Xu was eighteen, she married the thirty-one-year-old Su Yin.
But she never expected that one day Su Yin would disappear. When she asked the people around her, they gently replied with a puzzled question: "Who is Su Yin?"
Lin Xu understood. This time, she would declare war on time.

[Coming soon: On How to Win the Heart of a Manor Master]
The Shanhai Manor connects humans and demons. There, you can buy, sell, and pawn goods, and even trade lives.
Chu Yi was brought to the manor by Uncle Chen when she was eleven. She had struggled to survive in the human world, an orphan with neither father nor mother. Then, beneath a folding screen, she caught a fleeting glimpse of the Shanhai Manor's smiling master. The master granted her the title Chu Yi of the Blade Hall. From then on, she sold herself into service at the manor, specializing in killing, whether the target was human or demon.
The Ghost City shrouded in mist, the Red Lantern Inn, the song Qing Ping Le, the fall of Dingkang City. With her Tang sword, Po Zhen Zi, Chu Yi challenged heaven to deliver justice. No man could match her.
The master possessed divine powers. With a single move, she quelled the storm, entered the fray herself, and brought peace to the world.
At least, they had seen this human world together.

When the poison-stricken girl knelt before her and begged to join the manor, Qin Tu accepted her.
The girl was different from the rest. She stared straight at Qin Tu, as if she had no idea what fear was, and asked her name.
Qin Tu told her to come back once she had earned the title of Number One.
The girl eventually became exactly what Qin Tu wanted: the most reliable blade in her hands. But Qin Tu soon realized that this quiet, useful blade had set her sights on her.
The finest blade in the Blade Hall x the one and only Manor Master
A naturally clueless younger top with extraordinary martial prowess x a gentle, patient, outwardly cold but inwardly warm true matriarch of a bottom
[Reader's Guide]
1. Younger top, plot-focused, slow burn (a two-hundred-year age gap).
2. No misunderstandings or melodrama. Their love takes time to develop, but it is steadfast.
3. No lifespan angst. Happy ending. (Little Chu Yi's identity is being kept secret for now. She will learn her name later.)
Theme: Dedicated to the age of eighteen
Su Yin was always Lin Xu before crossing over, so after crossing over, will she also miss her Su Yin every time she hears others call her Su Yin 😭 😭
"Why don't you look at me" "Who can be more loyal to you than me" Wow wow wow, it's so well written?(?`???)? Of all the people in the world, I am the only one who is most loyal to me.
It feels like it will explode after this reminder
When I first read it, I didn't pay much attention to Dai Nian. When I read it today, I suddenly thought that Dai Gongjun went from disbelief at the beginning to falling in love with Dai Nian, and also fell in love with himself! And we, Su Yin and Lin Xu, also fall in love with each other again and again in different time dimensions. Falling in love with yourself is an inevitable thing. Today happens to be 5.20. I hope everyone can love themselves. Wish you and us. ❤️
It is indeed not just Narcissus, every girl should love herself 100%. Acceptance and tolerance are indispensable for the past self and for the present self who is so difficult. (Although I often think of the past, I will also feel embarrassed. Thinking of a point of view I have seen before, the disgust of stupidity is actually a conditioned reflex caused by myself who was embarrassed and ashamed at that time, because I was in trouble in the past and had no help. Now I see others in trouble. From And mocking her in a condescending manner. This is something I have always wanted to change, to be more tolerant of others (actually, mainly myself), to accept everything about myself, and to allow myself to make mistakes in the past and even now. Therefore, I can't refuse a gentle and tolerant sister like "Su Yin" 😭. However, Su Yin has also become gentle and strong in the process of loving herself and Lin Xu. I hope that one day I can become such a person and love myself forever.
My mom, "I am the only one who knows you have been in this world." It's so lonely and sad. No wonder, no wonder
It feels like when I first watched Interstellar, going back to the entire past in the dimension, her death was the beginning of them.
Su Yin was inexplicably nervous.
Really well written. Originally I just wanted to watch Narcissus GL, which is a bit more relaxed, but I felt something was wrong when I saw the time travel element. I didn't expect it to be really tough at the end... But I really like the setting of Lin Xu and Su Yin. It feels really charming... A cold and intelligent woman is standing in front of me. It's great to watch them flirting. My wife is really good at writing this kind of ambiguous flirting. I feel like I can already smell the fragrance... In fact, I felt sorry for Lin Xu and Su Yin in the first week, because I thought that even if they are the same people, there will always be some differences due to different experiences and memories. Even if "Lin Xu" later became Su Yin and met the new Lin Xu, I still couldn't forget Su Yin in the first week. Then I felt some loneliness and pain with Su Yin, and felt that it was difficult to do well no matter what choice I made. But the original intention of all "Su Yin" is to save himself. It was really shocking to see "save yourself thousands of times" there. Also, I really like my wife's writing style, which is very clean and neat. Whether it is characterization or other aspects of description, it is very comfortable to read, very concise and clear. Furthermore, it was a genius choice to intersperse "One Hundred Years of Solitude" into this article, because when I read this article, I recalled the feeling of reading "One Hundred Years of Solitude" countless times. Facing the endless cycle of the Buendia family, I was also very emotional at the time, but at the same time I felt lonely and empty. And seeing this, when "Lin Xu" went to see Lin Xu, he repeated what "Su Yin" did. I also felt very lonely. Do I really want to continue like this? Will they really be happy if this continues? Can "Lin Xu" be relieved? Will Lin Xu continue to work on the next project with this loneliness? But fortunately, they broke out of the cycle. "Lin Xu" did not follow the old path of "Su Yin". She did not abandon herself. She was well together with the person who loved her and loved herself. I think this is a good ending. No matter what, they are all happy now, and "Lin Xu" met someone who surprised and redeemed him when he was young. When he became an adult, he redeemed Lin Xu and gave himself a stable answer. This is the best ending. I don't know how to express my love for this work, but I always feel really emotional after reading it. At first, I just saw a recommendation, so I clicked on this work with the mentality of giving it a try. Unexpectedly, I accidentally encountered a work with a philosophical atmosphere that really appealed to me, and I felt that the definition of Narcissus was a little deeper. I really hope more people can discover my wife.
Hahahahaha the author Amway's "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is true (bushi) 🐶
