The Elder Worries Himself Sick Every Day (Reborn)

Originally titled My Brother-Con Lover Worries Himself Sick Every Day

Yan's parents help take care of their dear friend's child.

Five-year-old Qi Yi follows Yan Yan around, calling him big brother in his childish voice.

At ten, Qi Yi blinks up at him and says he's afraid of thunder, then squeezes into Yan Yan's bed.

Even at seventeen, and then twenty-seven, Qi Yi still loves clinging to Yan Yan.

As an older brother, Yan Yan is very proud of himself.

Until he discovers that Qi Yi's phone gallery is full of secretly taken photos of him, his bedroom walls are covered in posters of him, and an entire basement is filled with things Yan Yan has used since childhood.

Yan Yan: ...?

After discovering his younger brother's secret, Yan Yan wakes up reborn ten years in the past.

Seventeen-year-old Qi Yi is still afraid of thunder, but he's top of his class and excels at every sport. Yan Yan has never had to worry about him.

Feeling that he must have gone wrong somewhere in raising his brother, Yan Yan is determined to set him back on the right path.

First, he needs to keep a proper distance.

Afraid of thunder and wants to share a bed? No. Here's a pair of earplugs.

Won an award and wants a hug? Nope! Your reward is a set of practice books!

Wants me to scrub his back in the shower? No way. I'll order you a self-scrubbing towel for 9.9 yuan.

Yan Yan sticks to his cool, independent approach to raising his brother.

And then...

Qi Yi's grades drop, and the teacher calls Yan Yan. Qi Yi gets into a fight, and the teacher calls Yan Yan. Qi Yi might be dating someone, and the teacher calls Yan Yan.

The young man seems like a defeated beast, his beautiful eyes gloomy, madness lurking beneath them.

"Brother, I've been so good. Why won't you pay attention to me?"

Yan Yan: QAQ!

Nobody told him that failing at raising his brother would make him turn dark early!

Coming soon: The Righteous Top Has Two Faces

Bewitching, carefree beauty bottom x righteous top with a split personality (upright turns into a madman)

Everyone says that Pei Qilian, the demon of Tianding Mountain, is descended from a bloodline of absolute evil. His parents were notorious fiends from several centuries ago, inhuman and merciless killers.

The righteous sects make it their duty to destroy demons, so the Immortal Cultivation Sect sends its prized disciple undercover.

But... righteous disciples are just too easy to recognize. That fearless, justice-seeking gaze, that tall and straight figure like pine and bamboo, that handsome face like the moon... And those red, indignant eyes after being teased.

The handsome disciple's charms hit Pei Qilian right in the heart.

After Pei Qilian teases and toys with him,

retribution comes.

The sects join forces, the heavenly secrets trap him, and seventy-two crimson thunderbolts strike. Pei Qilian is no more.

After one miscalculation, Pei Qilian's luck goes from bad to worse.

His lingering soul takes root in plants, and after a hundred years he barely manages to form a body of wood and leaves.

The resurrected demon stretches, slings a bundle over his shoulder, and heads off to seek refuge with the Immortal Cultivation Sect. He plans to enjoy a comfortable retirement.

But the righteous disciple he toyed with a century ago has become one of the sect's senior elders.

Remembering the tricks he once used on that man, Pei Qilian packs up and runs again, back to his old hideout.

Then he discovers that his hideout has been occupied.

Under the new demon's leadership, demons and monsters run rampant, driving the immortal sects into an endless struggle.

To keep his options open, Pei Qilian shuttles between the immortal sects and the demonic realm. Then he discovers he's not the only one doing it: the senior elder of the immortal sect is too.

By day, he is a lofty immortal sect master, devoted to cultivation.

By night, he is a cold-blooded, ruthless demon.

Okay, but Master, are you playing both sides just to try out different roles?

Only later does Pei Qilian learn that the young disciple who used to glare at him with flushed eyes in the bath and in bed split off a second personality after Pei Qilian died.

*Bewitching, carefree beauty bottom x righteous top with a split personality (upright and stern + deranged and twisted after turning dark)

*The top's second personality split off after the bottom died.

*At first, the two personalities don't know about each other.

Theme: Only by being honest with each other can two people truly love one another.
