ok so mc's mom was cursed to die in 10 years and the curse would pass on, after her death, to the one she loves the most. MC ends up getting cursed because his mother loved him the most. I think he was about 17 when got cursed so he's got 10 years left to live. And he decides that no matter what he wouldn't fall in love because his beloved would be cursed because of him.

MC meets ML at an orphanage and he soon becomes attached to him. No romantic stuff happened when they were young. Even if they had feelings they never really showed. MC soon realised that he was falling in love with ML so he leaves him. But then he gets into an accident that leads him disfigured and mangled to the brink of death. Now his curse will make him live for 10 years since it's activation so no matter what for 10 years he will have an immortal body and won't die.

So when he heals, his facial features change a lot. And he starts a new life.

Years later (one year before mc's inevitable death) - On the other hand the ML is distraught and he somehow build a guild. And then he meets MC but can't recognise him because he's looks different now. So he doesn't know the one he loves and thinks is dead is right infront of him.

Now both are suffering - one is unable to forget the light of his life and the other who feels remorse and pain for hiding his identity and unable to reveal himself because of his imminent death that'll again hurt his beloved.

They somehow reach a consensus to find some spirit or relic that can erase memories because ML suffers from hallucinations of the MC and wants erase him from his life. On the other hand, MC wants to help ML because he feels guilty and he thinks that wiping his own memories too will make his death that's coming become more easier to accept.

So yeah.... enjoy

its a happy ending truly if it wasn't I would've die from depression so yeah

Especially the ML's reason why he build his guild and only searching for cursed items. That's because he wants to go back to the past to 'erase' the root of his misfortune, including his sad meeting with MC.

When MC know his reason, though he feel bitter and sad, he secretly agree and determined to help ML so he can die alone in peace knowing that his curse won't be transferred to ML

The main characters are both cursed in a way, that makes loving someone impossible.

The entire story hinges on MC not revealing to ML that he's cursed and ~destined to die~ in 10 years, and when he does the curse gets transfered to who he loves the most. But uh, the way he goes about it, he will mentally torture ML to death before the curse ever kills him.

MC gets to know ML by visiting him once a week for a year at his /orphanage/... Then when he realizes he has feelings for ML he /totally does not commit su*cide/ in front of ML and then abandons him for real bc love lol. ML, a teen, ofc blames himself for being unlovable. 8yrs later MC and ML have a happenstance meeting. ML 100% knows it's MC. MC is like nah... And if you keep on insisting that I'M GOING TO KMS (again, if I were that person, but I'm not.) (: Then after doing this huge spectacle to reject ML, he spends his entire last year w ML anyways?? Its kind of embarrassing?? Have some shame??

Like, friend, spend your time doing fetch quests /together/ with capable ML to break your curse. Instead of whatever mean, deceitful, poorly thought out, hurtful rewriting history plan you've got going on. And if you're afraid of breaking ML's heart... ML has 10 additional years after you die to figure out the curse and do the rewriting history thing or whatever. 😭
