Little Senior Brother

Synopsis (screenshot saved):

Zhao Li is one of Guiyi Sect's most celebrated disciples. Though still young, this junior brother is a genius at cultivating immortality, skilled in swordsmanship, spellcraft, and divination. With his feminine beauty, he is adored and admired by disciples of every gender. If he has one flaw, it's that Zhao Li is too aloof and rarely speaks.

But Zhao Li doesn't avoid talking because she dislikes it. She simply doesn't dare say much.

She's afraid that if she talks too much, people will discover that she's actually a woman.

Her master said no one must ever learn that she is a woman, or she will lose everything she has now.

Including her path to the summit of the immortal sects.

Mo Qingbai was already eighteen when he joined Guiyi Sect. This junior brother was frail and often ill. He would collapse after standing for a while, grow breathless after walking a little, and could barely hold a sword. Everyone in the sect felt sorry for his weakness and looked after him.

The one who cared for him most was that outstanding, aloof yet considerate senior brother.

When Mo Qingbai was in danger, the senior brother shielded him. When he made a mistake, the senior brother offered to take his punishment. When he fell ill, the senior brother stayed up all night to care for him.

But Mo Qingbai wasn't really frail. He was only pretending.

He feigned illness to hide his identity as the Demon Sect's leader while infiltrating Guiyi Sect to steal its greatest treasure.

But on the day he succeeded, he not only took Guiyi Sect's treasure, he also kidnapped that cross-dressing senior brother and brought her back to the Demon Sect amid the chaos.

In the Demon Sect's underground palace, Zhao Li's meridians were bound, her magic sealed, and her hands and feet locked in enormous shackles. Layers upon layers of barriers surrounded her.

That "frail" junior brother had gone to great lengths to keep her from escaping.

Watching Mo Qingbai approach in his black robes, Zhao Li said furiously, "Mo Qingbai, one day I'll kill you."

Mo Qingbai only smiled, then pulled her into his arms and gently kissed the cinnabar-red scar between her brows.

He knew he couldn't keep Zhao Li imprisoned for long.

"Seven days. If you love me for just seven days, I'll let you leave with Guiyi Sect's treasure."

The strongest and most adored senior brother in the immortal sect, disguised as a man X the lovesick Demon Sect leader, who pretends to be frail but is actually devious
