People really shouldn't go without looking in a mirror. Seriously.
That's what Lin Jijun says.
Otherwise, seeing what you look like out of the blue might actually make you fall for yourself.

As the Zero Experiment Subject, Lin Jijun escaped from the laboratory when the zombie apocalypse began.
In an empty room, he saw his own face in a mirror for the first time in his life.
Lin Jijun knelt before the mirror and lightly touched the corner of the reflection's eye with his fingertip. The person in the mirror seized his hands and pulled him into an embrace.
From that day on, Lin Jijun gained an ability: "Twin Souls."
At first, no one in the apocalypse knew about Lin Jijun's ability. They thought he was just an ordinary person with enhanced physical capabilities.
That changed when someone held a sword to Lin Jijun's throat and saw him smile, delight gleaming in his eyes.
"What should we do? Someone's about to have a really bad day."
The next moment, the man watched helplessly as Lin Jijun's eyes turned deep gold and his entire bearing grew dark and somber, as if someone else had taken over in the blink of an eye.
Before he died, the man heard "Lin Jijun" say to him:
"You shouldn't have messed with him."

After Lin Jijun's ability was exposed, the leaders of the major bases made a despairing discovery: they had even less chance of beating him now.
They couldn't outsmart Lin Jijun to begin with, so their only hope had been to exploit his comparatively weaker physical strength.
Well, that was out the window now. Whenever a fight came down to pure physical combat, his ability, who was also his lover, would step in without hesitation.
Then... they would be beaten to a pulp.
They weren't being given any chance to survive!

Reader's guide:
1. This is an apocalypse narcissism story. The top is the bottom's ability. Once the top has a body, he looks the same as the bottom, but his eyes are deep gold while the bottom's are brown-black.
2. Both leads are powerful.
3. The name Lin Jijun comes from: "On the lonely terrace, tonight I call for you again and again. Through the haze I glimpse a thread of ghostly light, revealing a peach blossom face."
Feng Chiluo comes from: "In the yellow plum season, rain falls on every household; frogs croak in every grassy pond. My guest has not arrived, though midnight has passed; I tap the chess pieces and watch the lamp flowers fall."
Lin paired with Feng.
