After My Senior Brother Proved His Dao

- The main story and all extras are complete. - My next upcoming novel is Don’t Need a Cremation After Faking My Death: a goofy, sweet fantasy BL. Please add it to your favorites~ Synopsis One (Angsty Version): The Second Prince of Heaven shattered the sacred Soul Lantern. His magic was taken away, his appearance concealed, and he was banished to the mortal realm to undergo a trial. The talentless and plain Second Prince became the junior disciple of the Piaomiao Sect, nervously setting out on the path of cultivation. At first, everyone bullied him. Only his stern, taciturn senior brother treated him well. Later, he learned that his senior brother and he were born with a fated bond. Unless one of them was reduced to ashes, they were destined to become Dao companions. His heart swelled with joy, until one day he saw his senior brother defy his master and hold their master in his arms. He tenderly called, “Miaomiao...” So even that stern face could look gentle. That was their master’s pet name. The Second Prince stopped hoping his senior brother would look at him. But he never expected that one day his senior brother would come to him, distraught, and plead, “Xiao Qi, save Master. Only your life can be exchanged for his.” The next time around, the Second Prince didn’t dodge that sword. He died by his senior brother’s hand. In a daze, he saw the look of disbelief on his senior brother’s face. He died and returned to the Celestial Court. His father, the ruler of the Ninth Heaven, helped him to his feet. The Second Prince, battered and bruised, asked for a Pearl of Severed Affection. He had suffered enough in this life; becoming an immortal without love or emotion would be just fine. But he never expected that his senior brother would become the only Demon Lord in all the Three Realms. Only then did he learn that after his death, his senior brother had knelt beneath the parasol tree, his face streaked with tears and blood, frantically trying to piece together his shattered soul. Synopsis Two (Sweet Version): The Crown Prince of the Ninth Heaven shattered the sacred Soul Lantern and was banished to the mortal realm to undergo a trial. He became Xiao Qi, a mortal destined to pine after his senior brother, Qi Zhuoyu, with all his heart. The tragic life of the mortal Xiao Qi played through his mind like a fleeting show: He competes with the sect leader’s son for Qi Zhuoyu’s affections, gets thirty lashes from the sect leader’s son, and suffers a humiliating face-slapping! He gets into a fight with a spoiled princess over Qi Zhuoyu, is framed by the princess, and suffers another humiliating face-slapping! He and his beautiful master both secretly love Qi Zhuoyu, but he’s treated as a substitute and brings humiliation upon himself, followed by yet another face-slapping! What the hell? He came down to the mortal realm to undergo a trial. He didn’t come down to get beaten up, for fuck’s sake! And so, His Highness the Crown Prince came to terms with it. He made the most of his fine qualities while undergoing the trial. Bravery: I can always kill myself. Optimism: Hilarious. So what? I can always kill myself. Acceptance: Why go through a trial? I might as well kill myself. Kindness: Why don’t you just kill me yourselves? But why was his senior brother looking at him more and more strangely? * Includes a regretful pursuit arc. * The synopsis is rather heavy, but the actual story is lighthearted~ * Unhinged top x spoiled brat. * Readers are welcome to point out reasonable content warnings in Chapter One, but please don’t attack or insult anyone personally~ * This novel is part of Jinjiang’s 2023 novel recommendation event. Leave a recommendation of no more than 20 characters in the comments to receive 1,000–3,000 Jinjiang coins! Everyone is welcome to join in! Content warnings: * The top is awful in the early part of the story. * The top has a fake first love early on, but that storyline is dropped later. * The top is the strongest character, and the bottom is the most beautiful. * There are two side couples, but they don’t take up much space and are just for flavor. * The setting isn’t traditional cultivation fantasy; it includes some elements of Eastern fantasy. * The main couple’s story is mostly focused on their romance. There is a plot, but it stays in the background. A sweet-and-sour confection centered on their relationship~ * Readers who love old-school melodrama featuring a scummy top and a masochistic bottom should be cautious about purchasing chapters individually. The actual story is light and cheerful~ Theme: Teenagers need to develop a healthy understanding of romantic relationships.
