Praise to Ruin

Only on the brink of death did Ji Jingming learn that there was a way to kill someone called "spoiling them to death."

Throughout his short twenty years of life, his older brother had always cherished and loved him, treating him like a precious jewel.

He had been lifted so high, all the way up into the clouds, almost close enough to touch the stars in the night sky.

So when he fell, he fell hard enough to be shattered to pieces.

After being reborn, Ji Jingming didn't dare hope for anything anymore. All he wanted was to escape the "honey trap" as soon as possible and live a safe, peaceful life.

But Ji Jingcheng refused to let him go.

He refused to let him go!

Ji Jingcheng was consumed by ambition, and everything he wanted in life was tied to the Ji family.

After his adoptive parents died, he easily dealt with the useless younger brother he'd raised.

Then... just as his adoptive mother had once done to him, he tore away the veil and laid every cruel truth bare before him.

He loved his sweet, innocent smile, and he loved his tears, as if his heart were breaking.

He was so happy.

Then he lost him forever.

He never imagined that he would get another chance.

This time, he would love him properly!

Potential squicks or selling points:

1. The main story is written in first person.

2. This isn't a traditional groveling redemption arc.

3. The broken relationship may or may not be mended, depending on how the story develops.

4. The top and bottom aren't related by blood, and their romance begins after the top becomes independent.

I'll write this after I finish The Real Young Master's Beloved Daily Life~
