My Senior Brother Died as He Should!

Lin Sichu died suddenly and woke up inside the xianxia cultivation novel he had written, as the second senior brother, a cannon-fodder villain. The second senior brother was arrogant and domineering. Relying on his powerful family background, he constantly led the bullying of the impoverished male lead. In the end, the male lead turned evil and tortured him to death with every cruel punishment imaginable. The moment Lin Sichu opened his eyes, the male lead, Qin Zhou, was being forced to kneel before him. The boy was gaunt, his eyes lowered, with a fresh bloody welt across his cheek. "Look at your pathetic, poverty-stricken face. Hurry up and..." The word "get out" was already on the tip of his tongue, but Lin Sichu had a sudden flash of inspiration and nearly bit his tongue: "...bring me something tasty so our junior brother can build up his strength!" Qin Zhou: ? - To keep himself alive, Lin Sichu diligently maintained his villain persona in public. In private, he humbled himself and groveled without delay: "Junior Brother, does it hurt? Let your senior brother blow on it." "Junior Brother, are you hungry? I'll make you noodles." "Junior Brother..." Besides that, Lin Sichu donned a secret identity and returned to his old profession, determined to become the top storyteller in the entire cultivation world! As he watched his junior brother grow into a handsome young man, and his gossip-filled storybooks spread throughout the cultivation world, Lin Sichu achieved fame and success. It was time to make his graceful exit. So he staged his own death and made a clean getaway. Who knew that after he "died," his junior brother would turn evil? Not only did he betray his sect, he also took up forbidden arts. Word was, he planned to bring Lin Sichu back to life... Lin Sichu was horrified. Oh no! Does he plan to revive me first, then kill me?!!! He sent Qin Zhou a dream: "Junior Brother, anyone destined for great things must endure all the hardships life has to offer. Your senior brother's death was meant to temper you. I died for a worthy cause! Don't let your senior brother down!" The moral blackmail worked wonders, and Qin Zhou returned to being the upright pride of the immortal sect. Lin Sichu was relieved and traveled far and wide, enjoying life. Until one day, a young man stopped his carriage, dark energy swirling around him, his gaze gloomy. "Senior Brother, you made me suffer so much." Bonus Scene: One day, Qin Zhou brought out a romance storybook by the author Chu Si. "Senior Brother, do you know this author, 'Chu Si'?" Lin Sichu stiffened his neck. "...No." Qin Zhou's eyes curved into a smile. "The things written in this book seem remarkably like you and me." Lin Sichu laughed awkwardly. "What a coincidence. Ha, what a coincidence." Qin Zhou leaned closer, unhurried. "Oh? Then what does 'Eighteen Techniques of Male Love' mean? Would Senior Brother teach me...?" Theme: Turn the tables and work hard.
