Blurb:

It seemed that Qiu Canjin had just died.

She couldn't accept it.

She redeemed her memories and returned to the mortal world.

She had gambled everything, yet when the truth finally came to light, she suddenly felt at peace.

Or maybe she'd gone mad.

Even her partner... had been keeping things from her...

She was a sinner.

"O ignorant traveler, are you willing to leave behind the mortal world, cast off your past, and ascend to godhood?"

Qiu Canjin lay silently in the void. Everywhere she looked, there was nothing but emptiness. Her dark eyes gradually lost focus, turning into a dead pool of water, undisturbed by even the slightest ripple.

The voice traveled up her trembling throat, broke through its shackles, and passed the blood clogging it, striving to see the light of day again.

Where she couldn't see, Gui Shu knelt beside her, stretching out a trembling hand, trying to cover the hand that was no longer warm.

Two faintly trembling voices joined together, as if they belonged to one person:

"I am willing."

"You are noble. You are graceful. You see through the hearts of others. You are so extraordinary! O tyrant who looks down on all things, let others flatter you and prostrate themselves before you. Welcome back, Your Majesty!"

"You are the only believer of the King. You willingly turn the halo that symbolizes an angel into chains, imprisoning yourself so you can follow forever. The tyrant's canary, his only salvation. You are the King's incarnation! Welcome back!"

"You've long since fallen into fantasy. Why cling to the splendor of your past life?"

"To have another life is already a blessing. Why care about the love you left behind?"

It was a pity that one fleeting glance had already destined them to seek each other across ten thousand years.

What Qiu Canjin redeemed was not only her memories, but also the love that had never found its ending.

The ending was already foreseen. Why endure endless reincarnation?

Ah...

The world believed she was a murderer, but she knew she was actually the victim.

No one could hear her. They couldn't hear the cries of someone wrongly accused.

It was as though the whole world had shut her out. There was no evidence, only rumors everywhere. No one, not a single person, stood up for her.

What did her self-respect even matter?

What did she matter?

No one would ever love her again, would they?

If so, she might as well make herself a murderer.

A perfect criminal.

What did it matter if she got what was coming to her?

But... the tyrant had forgotten that an angelic canary was waiting for her in its cage.

Everything was fated, impossible to undo.

It was her own greed, her greed for the warmth of a dream.

What did it matter if she fell into endless reincarnation?

Life after life, never to fade.

That was... her debt.

Qiu Canjin woke up and suddenly realized she had lost her memory...

And the person beside her was called Gui Shu...

Please note:

1. The ending will... most likely be a bad ending. I originally wanted to write a bad ending from the start... but I can't quite bring myself to do it. I'll see how it goes.

2. The main character isn't particularly virtuous. Read with caution.

3. The receiver is an imperfect protagonist.

4. The top is a protagonist who comes very close to perfection.

5. In a sense, this should be a story about falling in love with yourself.

6. The author is underage, so updates will be slow. Thanks for reading.

7. The top will be very dependent on the receiver, especially later on, when she turns into a huge, clingy golden retriever. If that's not your thing, please take note.

8. The author is obsessed with details and loves picking them apart. Please keep an eye out for them.

9. There will be a plot resembling endless reincarnation. If you don't like that, turn back now!

10. The receiver is a female lead who grows over time.

11. The top is a forgiving, accepting female lead.

12. The receiver is NOT a genius! NOT a genius! Everyone in an infinite-flow story may be smart, but she isn't.

She's just a charming, popular girl who likes using little tricks and is good with people. You have to understand the charisma of a social butterfly.

Note: INFJ (top) & ENTP (receiver)

Please don't criticize the author, okay? I'm sensitive and prone to overthinking. I'm the sort who hides under the covers and cries in the middle of the night, orz. Don't yell at me, 555.

Just kidding??????? If something isn't good, tell me, or it'll be hard to fix later... I'm exhausted from trying to finish this story.

Thanks for reading. Have a lovely day, mwah!
