Forced to Save My Corrupted Junior Brother

[The Main Story Is Complete]

Shen Zhizhi works for the Immortal Realm Administration Bureau. After completing her mission and returning, she is told that the mission failed because its main character has turned evil.

Shen Zhizhi thinks it over. Zhao Yu hid his illness so she wouldn't find out, and when he got hurt, he would hide away and bandage himself in secret. He even got up early to cook porridge for her. What a considerate child. How could he have turned evil?

The cost of a failed mission is too great, so Shen Zhizhi has no choice but to go back.

On a rainy night, the youth holds her tight. His glassy eyes shine with the joy of having found her again. "Sis, don't leave me all alone."

Just look at him. What a poor, sweet child. How could he possibly have turned evil? The System must have malfunctioned.

Later, she discovers that someone has placed a tracking talisman on her.

And hidden in the youth's sleeve is a chain glinting with a cold light.

Shen Zhizhi: ??? You're acting suspicious.

Reader's Guide:

1. The female lead has a secret identity early on.

2. The male lead's descent into darkness has a progress bar. The confinement scenes don't start right away.

Up next, a preview of a future release:

"Half-Demon"

Meng Zesheng is a demon hunter. While hunting a demon, she rescues a child.

The child blinks his big, dark eyes and silently follows her everywhere.

With no other choice, Meng Zesheng takes him as her disciple and teaches him the trade:

"Among the demon clans, half-demons are the most formidable. Before awakening, they can completely conceal their demonic aura, and they're the best at bewitching people's hearts. They're the natural enemy of us demon hunters."

After finishing, Meng Zesheng turns around and sees her disciple silently taking notes. She is quite pleased.

The child is obedient, filial, and talented. One day, he'll be able to carry on her legacy.

Meng Zesheng has always believed this, until one late night, beneath the rippling moonlight, she sees him sitting by the river, stubbornly and cruelly plucking the scales from his own body one by one.

She hears him call out in a hoarse, strained voice, "Master."
