The not-so-serious blurb (there is no serious version):

I'm an orphan. My adoptive parents found me, but they didn't treat me well. My big brother raised me all by himself, so he's my favorite person in the world.

My big brother also has a biological younger brother. I don't know why, but our parents treasure their youngest son like a priceless jewel. It makes my big brother seem like a hired hand in the family, while I feel like a complete outsider.

Then, as if my life weren't already hard enough, after our parents died, the three of us got separated. I was the unluckiest of us all.

Years later, I met Ning You again.

But by then, he was a righteous hero, while I was a villain aiding and abetting evil. Not only could I not acknowledge him, I was supposed to stay away from him, so I pretended not to know him.

But he wouldn't let me go. He clung to me, and I couldn't shake him off, so I had no choice but to give in.

On top of that, I discovered that my once-gentle and considerate big brother had turned into a foul-mouthed, shameless liar!

Stay away from me, you scoundrel!!!

He even makes me take medicine, holds me while I sleep, and acts all cute with me!!

Wait, something's not right here.

How did my brother turn gay?!

And now he wants to make me gay too!!

How did someone like him become a hero?

"Xiao Yuan, it's me."

How could I not recognize him?

Ning You says that now he's found me, he won't let me get lost again.

The not-so-serious blurb for Extra Chapter Two (still no serious version):

The three of us brothers were taken in by two old men. Hongyan Sword Manor. Just hearing the name was enough to make me picture the next decade or so of miserable days ahead.

Big brother: "Great, we've met kind people."

Third brother: "Great, we'll get enough to eat."

Me: "Great, I'll have plenty to do from now on."

I never expected that I was born to practice swordsmanship. None of my fellow disciples could match me.

So I bullied my senior brothers and bossed my junior brothers around, turning the sword manor upside down. I nearly stopped recognizing my own big brother.

Later, my big brother had to go home with our senior sister to take care of something, and I shamelessly tagged along.

But the one with business to attend to was our senior sister. We had nothing to do, so I started letting loose again.

And I dragged along my big brother, who always followed the rules.

Who could have guessed that without anyone to keep him in check, my big brother would turn out to be even worse than me?

He sneaks kisses at night and takes advantage of me, with all sorts of indecent intentions.

Wait, aren't we brothers?

He strokes my face and smiles. "I like hearing you call me big brother."

What a disaster!

The arts of raising poison insects, disguising oneself, and manipulating puppets have been lost for ages. Few people have mastered them, and those who have are all villains. They harm innocents for their own selfish ends and deserve to die a thousand deaths.

I've finally uncovered a lead on the villains. This is my chance to earn a great merit and rid the people of these evildoers.

This time, I won't be as carefree and irresponsible as before. I'll protect Ning You, too.

★ Two-sentence summary of the main story: A man who longs for death dies at the very moment he most wants to live. Before he dies, the people who love him and the person he loves all kiss him.

★ First-person narration. The childhood memories at the beginning may be a little slow, but things should pick up from Chapter 4.

★ Short story, fake gu, both pure, 1v1, no secondary couples in the main story.

★ All the sweet stuff is in the extras. Extra Chapter Two is quite long, and the characters are very different from their main-story versions, so you can read it on its own without reading the main story. A very small number of lines may not make sense if you haven't read the angstier parts, but it won't affect the experience.

★ Note on Extra Chapter Two: The author is rather dim and can't write characters who are shrewd or meticulous. The extra will probably just be a brainless (possibly stupid) plot plus the couple's everyday life. It may not have much of a wuxia feel. I've warned you, so if you don't like that, don't read it. Great, now I can let loose.

★ Some extras are in third person.
