Reborn as the Male Lead's Wicked Senior Brother

[Complete] The revised, bug-fixed official version is only available on Jinjiang.

Shen Xiuyuan transmigrates into an unfinished novel he just finished reading, becoming the male lead's vicious senior brother.

To return to the modern world, he has to help the male lead complete the plot. But the male lead's hatred of him is already maxed out, and he can't break character.

The System offers him a "junior sister" with one hand and a "miracle doctor" with the other, coaxing him along: Want some secret identities?

Shen Xiuyuan nods vigorously: Yes!

The sunny, warm junior sister diligently showers the male lead with praise;

The elegant, dashing miracle doctor goes to great lengths to help the male lead break through his bottleneck;

He can even add a cool, aloof flower courtesan who quietly passes along information about the male lead's enemies...

Best of all, if one secret identity gets ruined, he can just put on another and run away!

After making amends and playing the model senior brother for a few months, he decides to quit while he's ahead, return to his miracle doctor identity, and give the male lead some more warmth.

But when he wakes up, he finds himself in a coffin.

Shen Xiuyuan: ??

He switches to several other secret identities, only to discover in despair that every single one is in a coffin.

With no other choice, he becomes the senior brother again.

This time, he isn't in a coffin. Instead, he's on a bed, his hands and feet shackled with fine golden chains.

The male lead lifts the bed curtains and grips his chin. "Senior Brother, you have the nerve to change identities. Do you have the nerve to keep running?"

Content warnings:

1. Everyone has a divine beast form. The gong is a Azure Dragon, and the shou is a merfolk. The gong is rather scheming.

2. Pure sweetness. The shou raises the gong.

Yi Nianchu is the protagonist gong of a novel. He suffered many hardships as a child and became a bloodthirsty tyrant after ascending the throne. Fortunately, the protagonist shou showers the tyrant with care, gradually opens his heart, and becomes the apple of his eye.

Although Lin You feels sorry for the tyrant, he just can't keep reading the book. "The tyrant had a tragic past and is very guarded. How could he be touched with no reservations when a stranger like the protagonist shou suddenly shows him kindness? What if..."

The book: "If you can do better, go on, then."

And then Lin You transmigrates into a favored consort offered to the tyrant by a neighboring kingdom. The tyrant is wary of that kingdom, so he hasn't yet turned his knives on Lin You, but his gaze is full of ice.

So Lin You begins his reverse seduction campaign.

For example, when the tyrant nitpicks over his food, Lin You takes away his plate. "Don't eat, then. Starve to death."

When the tyrant, whose legs are crippled, is about to bathe, Lin You goads him. "I bet you can't get clean, unless someone helps you."

And when Lin You risks his life to pick a snow lotus for the tyrant, he looks disdainful. "It's just a lousy flower. That was easy."

After Lin You appears, Yi Nianchu discovers he has gained a special ability: he can hear Lin You's thoughts.

"He's so cute when he eats. Big Brother will make you a fresh serving, so eat a little more, okay?"

"I really want to give him a bath."

"Go, go, go! Pick him a little flower to cure his illness!"

Finally, after Lin You is once again saying the opposite of what he means, Yi Nianchu can't take it anymore. He silences that babbling mouth with a kiss. "If you like me, just say so."

Coming soon: Reborn as the White Moonlight of Two Emperors

The thing Sheng Yao regrets most is that when his imperial brother ordered him to wipe out a general's entire family, he took pity on one boy and let him escape. Later, Sheng Yao gets into danger while hunting with a bow, and the grown boy appears out of nowhere to save him.

When Sheng Yao learns the man's identity, he thinks this is his reward for having done a good deed.

Later, they fall in love and become intimate. But the man uses his connection to Sheng Yao to take control of the army left behind by the general, then stages a coup and usurps his imperial brother's dynasty without Sheng Yao's knowledge.

When the truth comes out, Sheng Yao is forced to take his own life. After his soul leaves his body, he hears the man say before his memorial tablet, "From beginning to end, I only ever used you."

Sheng Yao laughs until tears stream down his face.

So their vows of eternal love had been nothing but a laughable scheme all along.

When he opens his eyes again, he has been reborn in the imperial palace more than twenty years later. Beside him is a prince who has been banished to the Cold Palace. He looks a lot like that man, and even has the same temperament.

Sheng Yao turns and walks away.

As he passes the long-neglected Fengyi Palace, a palace eunuch sweeping the grounds falls to the floor in fright. "The Empress, the Empress is back!"

Completely bewildered, Sheng Yao flees back to the Cold Palace.

Seeing no way out, he takes in the prince, though he doesn't take much care of him either. He only hopes that when the prince leaves the Cold Palace, he can take Sheng Yao along.

Later, he gets to enjoy a showdown between two generations of emperors.
