    In this book, you can enjoy a fantastic combination of relationships: fellow disciples, siblings, childhood friends, and even a couple (just a random pairing) all within two characters. [Kiss][Kiss][Kiss] I especially love the protagonist's character. He doesn't have the typical black-and-white, ruthless, selfish, or greasy male protagonist who's instantly smitten with women. He's just a cute, sunny puppy. There aren't any female characters who treat the protagonist differently; the female characters are all well-developed, distinctive, and soulful. In other words, every character the author creates is vibrant and colorful. [Shy] (Spoilers ahead) The protagonist has a senior brother, Zhong Chen, who is incredibly powerful and carries the destiny of Zhong Kui. Early on, due to an accident, the protagonist takes on the responsibility of saving Zhong Kui's sister, Zhong Meier, to save his senior brother. From then on, they are both fellow disciples and siblings. [Laugh][Laugh] In the beginning, you might wonder why the senior brother is so good to the protagonist. In the second chapter, he risks his life for his junior brother's request. When completing dangerous missions, he always protects his junior brother, taking responsibility for any injuries his junior brother sustains, and feeling guilty and regretful about it. Knowing his junior brother is cold in winter, he always warms his hands, including holding him while sleeping. He is exceptionally gentle and indulgent towards his junior brother, yet never goes too far. (He also mentions that the junior brother shared his first kiss with him.) Later, it becomes clear that the senior brother and the protagonist were childhood friends. The protagonist's broken promise from childhood remains a lifelong obsession in the senior brother's heart. He recognized the protagonist at their first meeting at 18, but never told him he was the heart warmed by the protagonist's lover in his childhood, a precious memory he couldn't bear to lose after their reunion. The senior brother never wants to lose a single night without his junior brother. At first glance, you might think the senior brother is gentle to everyone, but in reality, his heart is only open to his junior brother. His gentlest side is always reserved for the window where his junior brother is. The senior brother is usually a bit quiet and aloof, but he always has a smile on his face in front of his junior brother. This is because the protagonist is a cute and sometimes slightly abstract little sun, and the senior brother is like a sunflower always facing the sun beside the little sun, and like the wind that blows away the dark clouds on rainy days, driving away the wolves and tigers for his junior brother. The protagonist also always thinks of his senior brother. I think that for the protagonist, Zhong Chen is family, a senior brother, a best friend, an older brother, and the most important person in his heart. But... Maybe it's different for the senior brother... He's a younger brother, family, a childhood best friend, a light that was hard to grasp, the most important person besides his master, or... (You can decide for yourself) [Full][OK] (Also, I want to ask the author, the protagonist is definitely straight, but the senior brother seems a bit off to me)

    The first book needs no introduction 🤓 It features Xu, a possessive and scheming man who loves to spot villains, and Qi, a thin but intelligent boy. They understand each other perfectly, knowing one is a villain and not a saint. "You're my brother now, so what's wrong with taking some of the damage for me? 🤓☝️" Eat up, author, you're selling this! The second book is also fantastic! Who's shipping the older brother and younger brother pairing? Oh, it's me! The author had some issues 😭 and stopped updating 😭😭😭
