   The first book, based on the synopsis, I thought it would be quite frustrating, but the author handled it very well. The younger brother is a reincarnation of a Celestial Emperor, and he even retains his memories. He's somewhat world-weary and doesn't want to live anymore, but he's resurrected by the Yun family. The older brother is there to comfort and support his younger brother. In the second book, after the younger brother dies, the protagonist arrives in a bizarre dungeon and discovers that his parents and older brother are also dead and kneeling. The older brother is a powerful figure protecting his younger brother, and their interactions are very sweet. If they weren't related by blood, I'd almost ship them!
