The refined gentleman vs. the sunny young man
Xiang Zhiyi thought the instance where he had to retrieve the “Whirlpool-Patterned Jade Disc” was the greatest challenge fate could throw at him. He never expected his world to be even more absurd than the instance.
He thought everything about his senior brother was wonderful: gentle, refined, and the very picture of a gentleman. Too bad he was an NPC, and truly from another world.
Xiang Zhiyi had deceived him to achieve his goal, and felt terribly guilty for two whole days. Then he turned around and went on a full hot-pot-and-barbecue feast with his buddies.
He had already mourned the fictional character for forty-eight hours!
The claim that the “Whirlpool-Patterned Jade Disc” could save the Origin Space-Time was a huge scam. After all that hard work and risking their lives, it only worked for two days.
With no other choice, Xiang Zhiyi headed for the next battlefield
“Senior Brother?! What are you doing here...?”
The now-darkened fictional character gave a half-smile. “My junior brother died a long time ago.”
Note: After he turns dark, there are some coercive scenes.
