After My Senior Brother Died, He Became My Artifact Spirit

A recommendation: my other mutual-attack pre-collection, "Shocking! The Male Side Character Has a Split Personality," is at the very bottom.

A cool junior brother who can't stop crying X a proud, aloof senior brother

Blurb One:

Before that incident, Lu Xuan's persona was that of a well-behaved, sensible, upright junior brother, while Gong Yujin's was that of a gentle, thoughtful senior brother, as clear and bright as a cool breeze and moonlight.

And afterward?

The junior brother cultivated the Slaughter Dao and became shrouded in killing intent. Every now and then, people could even witness tears and blood streaming together from his tear-prone eyes.

The senior brother lost his memory, revealing his true nature: a strutting peacock who never let anything go unsaid, while begrudgingly wondering just how wonderful that "senior brother" was and making Lu Xuan risk his life again and again.

Blurb Two:

His sect was bereft of virtue. Lu Xuan and his senior brother were schemed against and made into stepping stones for someone else. A hundred years later, Lu Xuan crawled out of the Rebirth Platform, only to learn that just twenty years had passed in the mortal world.

Now his life had only three purposes: take revenge, cultivate, and resurrect his senior brother.

When he met a spirit artifact that looked just like his senior brother, he burned with rage and wanted to tear it apart on the spot. But it belonged to his senior brother.

He had his doubts, too. It was simply impossible to imagine that this talkative spirit artifact, who turned into a resplendent peacock the moment no one was watching and behaved so outrageously, could be his senior brother. His senior brother was clearly an elegant gentleman...

Then he found out it really was him. What now?

Lu Xuan: Whatever Senior Brother does is right.

Gong Yujin's soul was incomplete and his memories gone. When the person before him asked his name, his mind was blank. After a moment's thought, he uttered two words: Xi Ming.

When his memories returned, his whole world collapsed. His image was in tatters, and he was even jealous of himself. Seeing the complicated look in his junior brother's eyes, he seemed to still be there, but had actually left a while ago.

With gritted teeth, he decided to throw caution to the wind. He could do without his dignity, but he had to have his junior brother!

[A couple who see each other through eight hundred layers of rose-colored glasses, but are a little combative]

P.S.:

1. The characters aren't perfect. Lu Xuan cultivates the Slaughter Dao. There are no side couples in the main story.

2. No stirring up trouble or starting fan wars. No breaking up the couple or swapping out their heads. The setting serves the plot. The story is fictional and has no real-life basis.

3. This cultivation novel has plenty of original worldbuilding. The cultivation stages are very standard: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Severing, Tribulation Transcendence, and Great Ascension.

4. If the writing isn't good, that's my fault. Please don't curse the characters; I'll delete comments that do, except when they're aimed at villains.

5. Different people like different things. You don't need to tell me if you're dropping the story. The cover uses a purchased template.

"Shocking! The Male Side Character Has a Split Personality"

Synopsis:

Yan Dusheng had mixed blood and a terrible aptitude. His unusual eyes were seen as an ill omen, and he was also a famously dim-witted fellow who had been born missing one soul. Bullied since childhood, he suddenly gained a System at the age of eight.

The System was irritable and ill-tempered, his complete opposite in every way.

Yan Dusheng often said, "It's nothing. Don't worry about it."

Meanwhile, the System would mutter curses about how outrageous, humiliating, useless, trashy, brain-dead, and deserving of death everyone was...

Fortunately, most of the time it wasn't talking about Yan Dusheng. Having always been alone, he was glad to have someone around and gently advised, "You should watch what you say, too. It can hinder your cultivation."

System: ...

Later, as his cultivation improved, the System kicked the soft-hearted pushover aside, took over his body, and slaughtered everyone else without leaving a single survivor.

Rumors began to spread through the cultivation world. They said he was two-faced and turned on people without a second thought, kind on the surface but rotten to the core, more vicious than even demonic cultivators. But he wasn't upset, because whenever that happened, the person inside his body would kiss him softly and comfort him.

Yan Jiu transmigrated into a power-fantasy novel as System 092, tasked with helping the pitiful male side character turn his life around. He looked down and saw...

The male side character? Turn his life around? That was him?

He couldn't understand why his own wildly arrogant and unbelievably cool self would be a pushover anyone could bully! Watching "himself" get picked on while wearing that face finally made 092 snap. He seized control of the body and cut down that bunch of trash, then had to comfort himself afterward. What a miserable life.

By joining forces with himself, he eventually became a famous... split-personality patient in the cultivation world.

Are you people seriously so rude?
