[Completed / Heian period]
When his younger brother Teng Quan Jie was little, his elder brother, the Middle Counselor of the Fuji clan, suffered a horrific disaster that left him terribly disfigured. But it seemed that more than his appearance had changed: his once kind and understanding nature gave way to a short temper, and he would even beat his retainers to vent his anger.
His ugly appearance became a shackle. People at court mocked his brother, his attempts to court women became a laughingstock, and even at home their father despised him.
As Teng Quan Jie grew up amid a flood of rumors and gossip, his sympathy for his brother gradually turned to shame.
He wished for his elder brother's death more than anyone else. Just then, in a desperate bid to save himself, his brother turned to a mysterious sorcerer and staked everything on his help. After painstaking research, the sorcerer produced a "medicine" said to restore his appearance.
But can his brother truly be freed?...
Side stories: The Diary of the Left Minister of Ono no Miya, and the Diary of the Middle Counselor of the Fuji clan.
Theme: You can't judge a person by their appearance
Xiao Rong can finally have his brother all to himself, which is happiness for him, right?
My brother's love is paranoia, dominance, jealousy, restraint, and fantasy. My brother who is so sick and coy is whining. My brother was so astringent that he knelt on the ground and was held by his shoulders and his upper body was pulled up, like a fully-stretched bow.
Ah, this younger brother must be too conflicted. He doesn't want his elder brother to be too good, nor does he want him to be too bad. He secretly rejoices when his elder brother is in trouble, and secretly hates others for not knowing the truth. He gets angry when others stay away from him because of his appearance, and he is unhappy when others get close to him regardless of his appearance.
If you are looking for recognition and salary, the author's writing style is still suitable for newspapers. Publishing it online is not the best choice. It is still a bit obscure and difficult to read. If it is written more popularly, more people will appreciate it, but it will also lose some flavor.
Ah? Ah? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh????? Why? The younger brother asked why he wanted to kill his older brother???
I didn't see the connection between the extra and the main text hahh
I seem to understand! Because of Bunzen's wish, the elder brother fell in love with the fourth princess. The fourth princess does not exist, but is actually a statue with a similar face to Fengqian. So the younger brother broke into the fourth princess's boudoir, and saw a face similar to Bunzen's, and the only thing he held in his arms was Homoki. Because from the beginning to the end, the fourth princess did not exist
When Dayan was first burned, he acted coquettishly and attached to his brother. Here the status of the two brothers has been reversed, and the younger brother has become the more powerful one.
The psychological description of the younger brother killing the servant is very good. Even though he has done it many times, he still has chaotic thoughts like a lunatic when he kills. The style of this description is closer to that of Raskolnikov's murder.
As soon as I heard that my brother was going to visit the Fourth Princess, my brother sat up in shock as he was dying hahh
