What Kind of Senior Brother Spoils His Junior Brother into a Dragon-Proud Protagonist?

[Two Male Leads + Cultivation + Younger Love Interest + Nurturing + Reborn + Mutual Secret Crushes + I Hate That the Moon Shines on Everyone but Me]

This book is also called “I Went Down the Mountain to Exterminate Demons and Picked Up My Husband,”

“My Green Tea Junior Disciple's Daily Battle for Favor,” and “After I Died, My Junior Disciple Fell to the Demonic Path”...

Basically, it's the cultivation romance of two geniuses.

Shangguan Tianxuan, the senior disciple of Qingyun Sect and the leading figure among the new generation of cultivators, is gentle and upright. He considers protecting his junior brothers and sisters his duty, and excels at medicine, talismans, and formations. He is the sect's “pillar of stability.”

But, well, Shangguan Tianxuan has some psychological issues. He's actually rather pessimistic, likes saving everyone, and carries every burden himself. He's the first number-one cultivator in history to suffer from depression.

Xiao Hengyang is a lunatic, and a green tea schemer to boot. Cold and cutting in front of others, he turns into a sweet, obedient “poor little thing” in front of his senior brother. He's good at using reddened eyes and a hoarse voice to recount his tragic past, making Shangguan Tianxuan ache for him so much that even his sword techniques are taught to him personally, one move at a time. The second number-one cultivator.

He's hopelessly in love with his senior brother. Usually, he's a jealous grouch who also loves to act cute, and Shangguan Tianxuan is happy to indulge him.

It should have been a sweet romance, but...

When the heavenly tribulation struck Qingyun Sect, Shangguan Tianxuan shattered into a sky full of spiritual energy before Xiao Hengyang's eyes as he underwent his tribulation.

He said, “Now I can protect you all a little longer.”

Xiao Hengyang went mad. After quickly becoming the strongest under heaven, he discovered that ascending to immortality couldn't bring his beloved back to life, and just as quickly fell into the demonic path.

He became the most ruthless Demon Lord, trapping Qingyun Sect inside a barrier to “keep watch over them.”

He hated them. He hated that his sect had failed to protect his senior brother.

Until... Shangguan Tianxuan was reborn...
