My White Moonlight's Cinnabar Mark Turns Out to Be Me [Reborn]

Before being reborn, Song Yangzhi had a junior fellow disciple who adored him and confessed his feelings again and again. But Song Yangzhi seemed unable to understand, always giving vague answers until the matter fizzled out. Until one day... Li Yuan: "I don't want to take a cultivation partner until I've reached the peak of cultivation." You know what I mean, right? Once I'm strong enough to protect you, then we can become cultivation partners. Song Yangzhi: "..." I see. He's turning me down as gently as he can. And so Li Yuan let the duck he nearly had slip away. Later, Li Yuan finally found his Senior Brother Song, only for them to face a final parting. The words he'd kept buried in his heart, never daring to say aloud, came naturally to his lips: "Yangzhi, in our next lives, could we be something other than senior and junior brothers?" But the other man could no longer hear him. After being reborn, Song Yangzhi suddenly felt empty. He'd already struggled his way through the cultivation world, serving as both a righteous sect's senior brother and the Demon Palace's right protector. His death was a fitting consequence of all the wicked things he'd done. He had no desire for revenge. The person he loved didn't love him back, so he had no desire to win him over. "Sigh, what a hassle." Until the day his junior fellow disciple, whom he'd once loved, took advantage of being drunk to confess his feelings. And said to him, "Yangzhi, you should know that somewhere in this world, there's someone who came into it just for you." The Demon Lord who'd made him the target of everyone's scorn became his good friend. To stop his good friend from falling further into darkness, Song Yangzhi slapped him hard across the face and snapped, "What are you thinking? You've still got me." Extra 1: Li Yuan: "What should I do to make him understand that I accept his feelings?" "Did he confess to you?" Li Yuan: "Not yet..." "..." Extra 2: When teaching his junior brothers and sisters, Song Yangzhi follows this principle: If they can still get back up, keep beating them until they can't. When fighting monsters above his level, he lives by this rule: If you can't kill me, then you're the one who's going to die. Junior brothers and sisters and monsters: What a strange set of principles. Here we go again... Couple: A gentle, considerate senior brother one second, a violent, monster-slaying lunatic the next (a laid-back, sly top); A heavenly prodigy who seems untouched by dust, who always does more than he says (a taciturn, obsessive bottom). ★ An extreme push and pull between a laid-back type and a man of few words. Reader's Guide: 1. Top's perspective, one-on-one, happy ending. 2. The two don't have much interaction at first, and it feels like they're in different stories. 3. The bottom is shorter than the top before age eighteen, and taller afterward. On the cover, the taller one is the bottom, and the shorter one is the top. 4. The top is two years older than the bottom. -- Upcoming novel: A World With You -- Couple: A top who keeps saying he's maintaining his persona, and feels perfectly at ease pretending to be weak (Ji Wangzhi); A bottom who's helpless against anything weak and instinctively wants to protect it (Pu Shuo); Top's perspective! Ji Wangzhi's job is to maintain a certain level of order in the worlds created by his younger brother, over and over again. Gradually, he lost interest in life. But his successor was taking far too long to show up, leaving Ji Wangzhi unable to put an end to it all. Then an outsider appeared in one of his younger brother's little worlds. Faced with something new for the first time, the brothers had no idea how to deal with it. They couldn't simply destroy a life that wasn't under their jurisdiction. So Ji Wangzhi had no choice but to enter the world and observe whether that person posed a threat to it. * The following sections are from the bottom's perspective, Pu Shuo's. The main story is told from the top's perspective. School arc-- Pu Shuo thinks the best thing he ever did was become friends with the protagonist's love interest after being provoked by the protagonist, just to get under his skin. He personally taught him how to get away from that annoying guy. Who could've guessed that he'd end up with the protagonist's love interest, who didn't even dare fight back when he was bullied? ABO arc-- As a muscular Omega, Pu Shuo was honored to become the personal bodyguard of a young aristocrat, also an Omega. But while Pu Shuo thrived at work, he kept striking out in love. Even high-match Alphas looked down on him. Seeing the worry in Ji Wangzhi's eyes, Pu Shuo kept all his feelings to himself and reassured him: "I'm fine. The young master hasn't found his fated partner yet. I'll stay by your side until you have someone to protect you." Cultivation arc-- Though they were senior and junior brothers, their relationship had always been lukewarm, and they rarely interacted. In his long years of cultivation, the figure that left the deepest impression on him wasn't the beautiful woman who admired him, nor his strict yet caring master, but that gentle, jade-like silhouette. Pu Shuo: "Senior Brother, do you trust me? Jump." Ji Wangzhi continued to smile faintly, showing not the slightest doubt in Pu Shuo's words. With a soft, quiet "All right," he leaped into the ravine without a moment's hesitation. Theme: Flowers can bloom even in pain.
