After Senior Brother Dies

A frail heroine who grows stronger × a dark, truly ghostly senior brother

*

During a training expedition, my senior brother Shen Changjue, whom I barely knew, died protecting me.

His blood splashed across my face, hot and burning. I held his severed head in my arms.

When I looked down, I saw him gazing at me tenderly.

I am the sect leader's daughter, and my fiancé is Wei Fangcun, the radiant and virtuous senior brother. We grew up together, and everyone envies us.

But after our training expedition, while I was still ill, Wei Fangcun returned to the mountain with a woman in distress.

He told me he wanted to marry her.

But later, they died one after another under mysterious circumstances. It was all done by "me," by the dead senior brother Shen Changjue, who had attached himself to my body.

*

Shen and I grew up together, but after I suffered a serious injury, I began to think that everything I had experienced with him had actually happened with someone else.

And then I was going to marry that person.

Senior Brother Shen told me that the day he was closest to me was the day I held his head in my hands.

That day, our blood mingled, and at last he saw a tear fall for him on my face.

The author's tastes are twisted. Lovecraftian cultivation, nonhuman male lead, very likely to have tentacles, immortal and indestructible, creeping through the shadows, obsessive love. The heroine is a sweet, delicate girl who will awaken to her power later.
