In a story about the real and fake young masters, your brother is the fake young master. After the real young master, the protagonist's love interest, returns home, your brother can't stand it. He humiliates him and tries to drive him away. In the end, the protagonist and his love interest join forces to take revenge. Your brother is abandoned by everyone, hated by all, expelled from school, and killed in a car accident...
Ji Nao: What about me?
System: You're a child adopted by the family. Because you bullied the real young master along with your brother, you're thrown out of the house and killed in a car accident with him.
System: What are you going to do?
Ji Nao: Keep an eye on my brother 24/7 so he doesn't get the chance to turn evil!
Ji Nao devotes himself to stopping his brother from turning evil. However, he doesn't notice that the real young master's gaze is growing more and more unsettling...
Real young master: Nao Nao was supposed to be my little brother. I'm going to take him back.
Ji Yujing: Get lost!
System: ???
This can't be right! The villain's corruption level is about to explode!!!

In a cultivation story, your brother is a madly devoted villain who uses every means to force himself on the protagonist's love interest. His ending is to go blind, lose a leg, have his entire family wiped out, and fall off a cliff while saving the protagonist's love interest, leaving no body behind. After his obsession turns him into a demon, the protagonist kills him so completely that his soul is destroyed.
The point in time when you transmigrate: your brother is about to attend the immortal sect's selection trials and fall in love with the protagonist's love interest at first sight.
System: What are you going to do?
Ji Nao: Break my brother's legs so he can't leave the house.
System: ?
Ji Nao: I mean, cling to my brother and get him to take me along to cultivate. Then I'll outwork him like crazy so he has no time to turn evil!
And yet, for some reason, his brother still goes down the path of locking the protagonist's love interest away in a little dark room. Ji Nao can only run off with the protagonist's love interest, letting him and the protagonist live happily ever after together.
System: That actually worked... (eating popcorn.jpg)
Wait... how did you max out the protagonist's love interest's affection for you?
Wait... your brother's coming to kill you!

In an apocalypse hoarding story, your brother is the unlucky foil to the protagonist, a man blessed with incredible luck. The protagonist can find a treasure chest even while scavenging trash, but your brother finds nothing but trash when he opens a treasure chest. Your brother sees the protagonist as a thorn in his side and targets him at every turn. His ending is bankruptcy, then turning into a monster...
System: I haven't even finished. Why are you packing your bags?
Ji Nao: I'm getting a new brother. The lucky protagonist next door seems pretty good.
Ji Nao has barely stepped out of the safe house when someone yanks him back inside.
Ji Yujing rests his head on Ji Nao's shoulder. "Nao Nao, where are you going?"
This world is too dangerous. You can only stay by my side.
A villainous, brother-obsessed, overachieving older brother (top) x a younger brother who's an expert at getting his brother into trouble (bottom)
Reading notes:
1. The top and bottom aren't related by blood and aren't listed in the same household register.
2. Some worlds involve quick transmigration, others slow transmigration. They won't necessarily be written in order.
Theme: Deep sibling bonds, relying on each other to survive
