Eldest Senior Brother

[This novel is currently updating slowly] Wen Ling'er was born into this world from the womb, and found herself inside a book written for male readers. She knew that Yue Wangying, an outer disciple, was the male lead. In the early chapters, he would endure endless humiliation at the Wen Dao Sect, then make a comeback and wipe out his enemies in one satisfying sweep. Wen Ling'er had a simple plan: latch onto this powerful ally and keep the Wen Dao Sect from meeting its sacrificial-extra fate. So, despite her sect leader father's fierce objections, she firmly refused her engagement to her senior brother, ran away from home, and traveled a great distance to bring Yue Wangying spiritual medicine. She thought Yue Wangying would at least be grateful to her. Until he slaughtered the Wen Dao Sect and looked down at her with a cold sneer. "Ling'er, since you love me so much, shouldn't you hate what I hate, too?" Only then did she realize that even a wolf could be tamed, but someone as cold-blooded and vicious as Yue Wangying deserved to die without a burial place. That same day, someone came walking through a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Her once noble and unblemished senior brother, Cang Yan, had fallen to the demonic path with a single sword strike. He took her hand and led her down this muddy road from the mountain. He kissed her fingertips softly. "Lingling, go. Never look back." But Wen Ling'er still looked back. She saw the sweet osmanthus tree in front of her courtyard turn into demonic fog that blotted out the sky. She saw its beautiful branches stained with demonic corruption like mud. She saw divine fire from the Ninth Heaven burn through every meridian in its body, killing it amid agony and convulsions. In a daze, she heard Yue Wangying's lackeys talking. "Who would have thought Cang Yan was a ten-thousand-year-old tree demon?" "Without the Divine Fire of the Ninth Heaven Wen Ling'er gave us, we really wouldn't have been able to deal with him." "He was just a sweet osmanthus tree that never bloomed. Now that it's dead, there's not much left of it..." But the sweet osmanthus had bloomed before. When she was little, she used to sneak off to play in the back mountains. She would often water the beautiful sweet osmanthus tree, cherishing and caring for it with all her heart. She even built her cave abode beside it. After that, the scent of osmanthus often drifted in through her window. When she was thirteen, a jade-like young man sat on a branch and leaned down to offer her a tiny white osmanthus blossom. Later, that young man became her senior brother, peerless beneath heaven and unrivaled in the world. When she woke again, she had been reborn to the day she broke off her engagement. Silken hair like snow and frost falls from the branches; the osmanthus shines like a full moon carved from jade. Once he stood against the gentleman's sword from the Ninth Heaven. Who could rival senior brother's proud, icy grace? [Head Storage Service] This novel now offers head storage.

[Content Notes] A sweet story about two people choosing each other, with a complete cultivation and power-progression system. A growing female lead, not an invincible, feel-good powerhouse. The female lead saves the entire sect and the world. The plot and romance are roughly a 60/40 split. The female lead does not love Yue Wangying. She only wants to avoid becoming a sacrificial extra and resents her fate. In her previous life, the female lead broke off her engagement because of a misunderstanding with her senior brother. Her senior brother seems like an emotionless, icy character on the surface, but in truth he is possessive, obsessive, gentle, and dangerously unhinged. [The text may be lightly edited at any time, but there will be no major plot changes.] This novel shares a single vast multiverse setting with "When a Nurse Gets Transported into an Immortal Apocalypse," "Building the Greatest Sect of All Time by Picking Up Beautiful, Strong, Wretched People," "Slaying Qianjin," and "I Parasite in the Body of a Demonic Cultivator." The settings will only intersect after the protagonists complete their respective arcs and advance. Theme: Hard work will pay off!
