[Senior Brother, as he is now]
Shen Qiandu has three daily activities: brewing goji berry tea, drying medicinal herbs, and telling his junior sister to stop working herself to the bone.
"Junior Sister, today is a good day for osmanthus dew, and a bad day for fighting."
As Yunmengze's number-one model retiree, he can deliver the laziest lines in the gentlest voice.
[Senior Brother, according to Master]
"Five hundred years ago, your senior brother leveled three demon cities with a single sword strike. The blood rain fell for three whole months."
With the calming candy my senior brother had given me in my mouth, I mumbled a protest. "Master, stop trying to fool a kid!"
Then one day, I accidentally wandered into a temporal rift
In the Ninefold Abyss five hundred years ago, black iron chains pierced the thin shoulders of a boy, and blood-red talismans crawled across his pale face.
The boy known as the "Child of Calamity" lifted his head. In those amber eyes, the same ones I looked into every day, raged a madness that could destroy the world.
The boy was drenched in blood. He tilted his head and smiled. "Do you want to save me too?"

Later...
"Tiaotiao, don't be afraid." Shen Qiandu's warm palm covered my eyes. "What you're seeing is the version of me that's most human."
