After Picking Up a Black-Hearted Junior Brother

After transmigrating, Ye Chi became a young genius everyone envied. The chuunibyou in him was thrilled. Time to go all out and look cool! After a lot of effort, he climbed to the top of the Heavenly Contest rankings. He’d barely had a few days to enjoy it when he went for one big, flashy stunt. And then, just like that, he was dead. Whenever Ye Chi came up, everyone praised him as a genius. Famous from a young age, he pointed his sword at the sky and roamed the world, sword in hand, with a peach blossom in one hand and a branch in the other. He entered the Dao at eight, established his foundation at twelve, and formed his core at sixteen. The classic disciple everyone else’s teacher wishes they had. It was just a shame he died young. On the day he died, a great fire at Phoenix Hall blazed into the sky, and someone ran him through the heart with a sword. He died in spectacular fashion. * When he opened his eyes again, Ye Chi found he had been reborn a hundred years later. He’d also become the cannon-fodder fiancé in a novel about a beloved, pampered darling adored by everyone. In the original story, he was infatuated with the young master of Fusang Pavilion, pursuing him relentlessly until he met a tragic end. Ye Chi: “...” Thanks, but no thanks. His first order of business after being reborn: break off the engagement! But the young master refused. Not only did he refuse, he followed Ye Chi every day without leaving his side. Ye Chi went east, and he went east. Ye Chi climbed a wall, and he brought a ladder. Ye Chi tried to run, and he blocked the door in advance. Until one day, Ye Chi saw the aloof, otherworldly young master of Fusang Pavilion clutching an old piece of clothing, his expression feverish and obsessed. That garment had belonged to Ye Chi in his previous life. Ye Chi: “?” He took a closer look at that face. Ye Chi: “...” Oh. So he was the junior brother I raised. Well, that’s fine, then. ...No, it isn’t! * Cloud Between Moons had a difficult childhood and never imagined anyone would see him at his lowest. Sensitive and insecure as a boy, he felt that the other person’s approach shattered every bit of pride he’d tried to protect. He had never met anyone so bright and sunny. He was jealous, but also grateful. He had once thought of killing Ye Chi and taking his place. But on the day Phoenix Hall burned, he knelt on White Jade Capital, helpless. He could only watch Ye Chi take an arrow through the heart. He sat alone on the Conferred Gods Altar for a long time. Snow fell and returned through countless cycles, the seasons turned and changed, and White Jade Capital became a distant, unreachable legend. Only then did he quietly acknowledge the obsession in his heart. If time could turn back and life held no regrets, he would tell Ye Chi himself: “I love you.” 【Little darlings, the blurb for my upcoming novel is below】 When Ye Jingxue was young, he had no father or mother, and everyone turned against him. Even stray dogs would kick him as they passed. One day, while people were humiliating him, a voice suddenly appeared in his head. It mocked him for being spineless and cursed out the people bullying him. Ye Jingxue thought it was someone’s prank and silently swallowed the insult. Then he looked up and met a pair of disdainful eyes. The ghost yelled at him, “You idiot! Throw a left hook, a right hook, an uppercut, a lowercut, then sweep their legs and beat them up!” Ye Jingxue: “Who are you?” The ghost was stunned. “Huh? You can see me?” From then on, a wandering ghost stayed by his side. With a sharp tongue, scams, tricks, and a habit of standing up for the wronged, the ghost lived and died alongside him, helping him survive in the perilous cultivation world. But they couldn’t stand each other, and both found the other annoying. Later, the ghost gained a physical body through a fortuitous encounter. He immediately stabbed Ye Jingxue in the back and ran off. That day, snow fell thick and fast. Kneeling in the snow, Ye Jingxue swore he would never let Shi Zhi get away with it. ＊ After Shi Zhi died, he thought they’d never see each other again. But when he woke up, the whole cultivation world was hunting him. A hundred years had passed, and Ye Jingxue’s hatred for him had only grown. When he caught him, he threatened to grind his bones to dust. Seeing that playing on their old feelings wouldn’t work, Shi Zhi’s mind went blank. To save his life, he shouted in front of everyone, “I did it because... I love you!” Ye Jingxue smiled faintly. “Fine. No time like the present. Let’s bond today.” Shi Zhi: “Huh?” Wasn’t he supposed to disgust him so much that he’d throw him away?
