[Fake Death] [First time going premium. I only just figured out that bonus extras can’t be posted until after the novel is finished (T^T). The bonus extras will be posted after the story officially concludes. Thank you, everyone!]
Yi An transmigrates into a book as the villainous senior disciple who torments the protagonist’s junior brother.
According to the original plot, Zhou Zhu is hung up and whipped every three days, and forced to kneel on a gravel path until his flesh is bloody every five days. He is constantly humiliated and tortured, covered in wounds and left utterly hopeless.
In the end, Zhou Zhu betrays the immortal sect, only for the sanctimonious senior brother to strike him off a cliff, leaving him at death’s door.
Five years later.
Zhou Zhu has fallen completely into darkness. Clad in black and carrying a sword, he returns to the immortal sect, captures the senior brother who once kicked him while he was down, and tortures him in every way imaginable, slicing him into more than ten thousand pieces before grinding his bones to dust.
System: [Time of transmigration into a book: Two years after Zhou Zhu was thrown off the cliff. Remaining lifespan: Three years. Mission: Survive. May you live as long as the southern mountains!]
Yi An: ?
Yi An: I’m out.
*
If he can’t afford to provoke Zhou Zhu, surely he can at least stay out of his way!
To survive, the first thing Yi An does after transmigrating into the book is figure out how to get the immortal sect to seal off the cliff, eliminating every chance Zhou Zhu might get to kill him.
Fortunately, things go smoothly, and the immortal sect finally agrees to seal the cliff in three years.
Yi An is overjoyed and checks his remaining lifespan again: [Three years].
Yi An collapses: Why am I still going to die?!
System: [You need to change the original host’s villainous image. The higher your image score, the longer your remaining lifespan will be~]
And so Yi An sets off on the path to cultivating the image of a shining senior brother.
There’s one junior brother in particular who catches his attention:
The junior brother is adorable and upright, handsome and talented. With proper guidance, he’s sure to become a rising star of the immortal sect.
If the seal fails, the more powerful people around to take a hit for him, the better!
To prepare for the worst, Yi An quickly comes up with Plan B: He decides to cling tightly to this powerful ally.
When the junior brother is in danger, Yi An unhesitatingly throws himself in front of the blade;
when the junior brother is captured by an evil spirit, Yi An goes straight to destroy its lair;
when the junior brother is injured and feverish, Yi An lets him sleep beside him and tells him stories all night.
Yi An proudly puffs out his chest. “Don’t be afraid. Your senior brother is here!”
The junior brother gazes at him with sparkling eyes and smiles. “Senior Brother, I’ll remember you forever.”
Yi An is delighted, convinced his future is so bright it could blind someone.
*
Until the day the cliff is sealed.
The junior brother’s face transforms back into Zhou Zhu’s. Ghostly energy surges around him as he smiles at Yi An, just as he used to, making Yi An’s blood run cold. “Senior Brother, I’ve always remembered you.”
#Oh no! The junior brother I raised is actually my sworn enemy!#
Yi An makes a swift getaway.
*
Zhou Zhu hates Yi An to the bone. To exact his revenge, he takes on the appearance of a junior brother and stays by his side.
Whenever he sees Yi An throw up blood while saving him, utterly weak and exhausted, he acts deeply concerned, but thinks to himself, “That’s right. You owe me, and this is how you should pay me back.”
The day he reveals himself,
he watches Yi An run away.
There’s no rush. He’ll take it one step at a time.
One step at a time, until Yi An is left with no way out.
One step at a time, until Yi An is utterly broken.
One step at a time, watching the once-gentle, optimistic senior brother become hopeless and empty-eyed.
Then he’ll lock him up and savor every moment.
Zhou Zhu leans close to his ear and says, “Senior Brother, smile at me.”
Yi An can’t smile.
Yi An’s health steadily deteriorates.
The once-powerful senior brother becomes a sickly man who can’t even lift his sword.
Zhou Zhu thinks he ought to feel satisfied.
But he keeps searching for the finest spirit medicines in the world and feeding them to him. His hand trembles uncontrollably as he holds out the medicine. “Even if you die, you’ll die by my hand!”
Yi An gently brushes the corner of his eye, his smile as tender as ever. “Life and death are in fate’s hands. Don’t cry. Your senior brother is here.”
*
Yi An’s death is spectacular.
His spiritual meridians shatter, and his body is reduced to ashes, exploding in the sky like fireworks. Not even a corpse remains.
His soul drifts through the air and looks back one last time.
Zhou Zhu clutches the last remaining fragment of his spiritual meridians, refusing to let go, and weeps uncontrollably.
[One-on-one, happy ending]
