[Blurb]
In the ninth year of the Jiqing era, the demonic god Tao Yan burst onto the scene and shook the Three Realms.
He was a hate-filled ruler of the Demon Realm who slaughtered people, destroyed kingdoms, and fed on demons. Heaven could not punish him, and earth could not control him. Yet before he became a demon, he had been an ordinary cultivator from a reputable sect, bullied by others but endlessly patient.
Then one day, he used a slingshot to kill Chu Yunjiang, the tyrant of the immortal sect, with a single shot. From that moment on, he abandoned the Dao and embraced the demonic path.

Heaven: There's a chance to be reborn. Do you want it?
Chu Yunjiang: Is there a catch?
Heaven: Complete a difficult mission to eliminate demons and uphold the righteous path.
Chu Yunjiang: ?
Heaven: You'll be reborn ten years earlier and protect your junior brother, Tao Yan.
Chu Yunjiang: Are you kidding me?
Heaven: Refuse, and you'll go to hell.
Chu Yunjiang: He killed me with a slingshot, and you're telling me to go back and protect him? Are you crazy, or am I?
Heaven: It's not just protection. You must cherish him, care for him...
Chu Yunjiang: ?
Heaven: Raise him into a fine, upstanding young man. Prevent the demonic god from ever appearing. If he turns evil, you'll go to hell.
Chu Yunjiang: I have something to say, but I'm not sure I should say it.
Heaven: You must treat him well, without conditions.
Chu Yunjiang: ...

This is the story of a wastrel turning over a new leaf and discovering he likes it.
After being reborn
His junior brother gets beaten.
Chu Yunjiang: I'll take him back for treatment right away.
His junior brother gets scolded.
Chu Yunjiang: He comforts him like a gentle spring rain.
His junior brother is in danger.
Chu Yunjiang: He shields him with his own body and would take a blade for him.
His junior brother is hungry.
Chu Yunjiang: He washes his hands and cooks for him.
At last
His junior brother becomes upright and sunny, as graceful as jade and refined as an orchid.
It should have been a happy ending, but Chu Yunjiang can't shake the feeling that something is wrong.
Tao Yan: "Senior brother, can I sleep with you tonight?"
Chu Yunjiang: "..."
Tao Yan: "Senior brother, I understand how you feel."
Chu Yunjiang: "What?"
Tao Yan: "One person for a lifetime."
Chu Yunjiang: "..."
Treat him badly, and he'll kill me. Treat him well, and he wants to sleep with me.

I've read them all, author, please keep up the good work! That phrase "you would have loved me" really pokes at my cruelty (so cool)
I want to see my brother meet his mother. I feel that my brother is also very pitiful.
It turns out that everything started because of his mother! I thought it was Jiujiu who was redeemed, but it turned out that it was Ache who was really redeemed. Jiujiu finally waited for his love. This process is really sad. The writing is really good, and I still have more to say. When will you come back to write a sequel?
I've been waiting from the first-class extra to the third-class quasi-professional
It's good, but I think I seem to be missing a muscle in love.
Very nice, but I feel like I haven't seen enough
Oh, ah, ah, madam, it's great. All the foreshadowings are done very well. You are a fairy.
Ahhhhhh it's over!!!! I still have more to say. Leopard Cries. It's really touching. Even though I'm sad, I always feel that the story is not over yet! I want to watch the extra episode. Big QAQ. It makes me cry so much.
It's not that Chu Shangyan gave Xiao Chu a clean place and then said he was surprised to see his dead grandson. There seems to be a bit of a contradiction here.
It's really fast, but it's not bad. It's the end of the world! I need this new past life extra. Hey, does this count as a past life change? Can this still be called a past life? Oh my god, we can't think about this kind of problem of time and space.
