[Farming, slow burn, pocket dimension, a little System, raising kids, sweet romance. If you want the sweet stuff, start at chapter 90. Important announcement, repeated three times: this is a BL story, a BL story, a BL story. Don’t read if that’s not your thing.]
Qi Yu died from overwork and woke up as the eldest son in a farming family, saddled with a whole household to support.
He planned to lie flat and raise the kids, but soon realized his second younger brother, Qi Jinghuai, looked at him strangely. The boy was only six, yet his eyes held the world-weary sorrow and obsession of an adult.
Qi Jinghuai had been reborn.
In his previous life, after his eldest brother was killed by their aunt, the siblings were sold by the Zeng family. His younger brother and sister died at the hands of powerful officials.
Alone, he pursued revenge, clawing his way up from the mire and climbing to power over a sea of blood. He killed his enemies with his own hands, but in the end, someone seized upon his weakness, and he was beheaded alone in the public square.
Only as he lay dying did he learn the truth: he was the Emperor’s eldest grandson, and the empire should have been his.
Given another chance at life, Qi Jinghuai swore that this time his eldest brother would not die, his younger siblings would be protected, and not one of his enemies would be spared. He would reclaim the throne, but most importantly...
He would keep his eldest brother locked by his side, never letting him go anywhere.
Qi Yu thought he was raising a well-behaved little brother. Little did he know that this “little brother” was scheming every day: how to keep him alive, how to make him unable to leave, and how to make him stay of his own free will.
This is the story of a hunter pretending to be prey, carefully laying plans to ensnare the one he loves.
In his previous life, he died alone. In this life, he wanted his eldest brother by his side as they ruled the world.
