Haruki Murakami

Haruki didn't know who he was, where he came from, or for what purpose he existed. For three years, he had lived on instinct, scraping by with the rudimentary sword skills he'd gained through life-and-death encounters, eking out a meager existence. He had long resigned himself to the belief that he would muddle through life until his luck ran out and death finally claimed him. That was, until he met the general—clad in gleaming silver and blue armor—cutting through enemies with the grace and ease of someone sipping tea at a garden party. Haruki couldn't look away. By the time Haruki realized just how deep the pit he had fallen into, he was already utterly, hopelessly, and foolishly in love with Lanling. But things weren’t as simple as exchanging deep feelings—especially when you’re repeatedly robbed of your memories, and there’s the looming risk of losing the ability to even create new ones with the person you hold dear. In the end, will Haruki be able to remember and keep his precious memories? And Lanling—can he break free from the curse that is constantly testing his love for Haruki? ~#~#~#~#~#~ Bright, Straightforward, but easily teased gong (Haruki) x Calm, Mysterious and slightly black-bellied shou (Lanling) #GongProtagonist #PowerBottom #FatedLovers The pair in the past had a different dynamic o.o —2 chs/day —This a tragic love story with a HE.

When Haruki, one of the most celebrated actors of his time, suddenly dies, he finds himself transported 30 years into the past—into the body of his younger self, just starting his career in the industry. Given a chance to rewrite his mistakes and reshape his destiny, Haruki faces a pivotal choice: follow the old path of fame and emptiness, or rediscover the true essence of acting. But can he escape the shadows of his past and the people unwilling to let him forge a new future? A story about second chances, the pursuit of meaning, and the power of genuine emotions.
