My Lover, Who Sacrificed Himself for the World, Has Returned

Xiao Youci considers himself cold-hearted and ruthless. Fifty years ago, a bloodthirsty, violent demon emerged in the demon realm, bringing disaster to the mortal world. Xiao Youci sent his peerless senior brother to seal it away. His senior brother sacrificed himself to save the world, while Xiao Youci became the leader of the greatest sect under heaven. Fifty years later, the seal weakens. But the one who emerges from it is not the demon that once plunged the world into chaos. It is his senior brother, who sacrificed himself to save the world. For fifty years after his senior brother left, Xiao Youci dreamed night after night of the figure walking away without looking back. He shouted until his voice was hoarse, but he couldn't call his senior brother back. When they meet again fifty years later, he prepares to atone with his life. But his senior brother lifts his chin and asks softly: "Junior brother, what good would your death do me?" He wants Xiao Youci to atone by living, not by dying. P.S. There are other reasons Xiao Youci tricked his senior brother into sealing the demon away. The protagonist only considers himself ruthless; he has never harmed anyone. Theme: A story about atoning with your life.
