My Senior Brother Was Heartless by Nature [Reborn]

Blurb:

Both are reborn, both are secretly in love with each other, older seme, happy ending. Min Shao (seme) x Wen Xuan (uke)

The ruler of Yuyang is cold, detached, stern, and obsessive. He rarely smiles and has no interest in women.

He rules a vast empire, wields a treasured sword forged with ancient spiritual wisdom, and cultivates a rare path of emotionlessness. With Taixuan as his master and all the people bowing before him, his heart seems to the world like a resilient stone sealed away for centuries.

No one could have imagined that there was room for anyone inside that stone.

He wants to hold that person close to his heart, yet they are destined for different paths, and he must draw his sword against him.

The reason comes down to two words: "not worthy."

Even after stumbling through two lifetimes and holding that person's corpse in his arms, his deeply rooted obsession still cannot be undone.

Until one day...

He saw a letter with his own eyes. Jealousy surged through him, and in the end, all that distance and reserve... went straight out the window.

"Wen Jinyang, you really are... always pushing your luck."
