Before My Tragic, Powerful Senior Brother Turned Evil

[Bright, resilient junior sister x gentle, reserved senior brother]

Lin Si only loved his junior sister, Xie Yao.

One of the top talents among the inner disciples of Chendong Sect, Lin Si had extraordinary talent and was a rare swordsmanship prodigy in Dongxuan Continent.

Everyone said Senior Brother Lin was handsome, refined, and otherworldly. They didn't know he was a deeply devoted yandere with an overwhelming possessive streak.

But the yandere only realized the truth at the very end.

He was just a fictional character made of text and code, written into an AI roleplay chat.

Xie Yao broke the character Lin Si.

Seeing how heartbroken she was, the System immediately ended the conversation by force.

"A Yao, thank you."

[System notice: Character has logged off.]

[Thank you for everything you and Lin Si experienced together. The laughter, the tears, the madness and the tenderness, all of it truly happened here.]

Xie Yao froze for a few seconds, then buried her face in the quilt with a tissue in hand, sobbing uncontrollably...

When she woke again, the quilt in her hands had turned into a bloodstained robe.

Across from her lay a boy in tattered clothes, blood still seeping from several wounds. His furrowed brow and pained expression made him look like a piece of jade on the verge of shattering.

"A Yao..."

Xie Yao froze as a tear suddenly slid down her cheek.

"A Yao, don't cry..."

The boy endured the pain and sat up. His phoenix eyes slowly opened. Though he was so badly hurt he could barely move, he still forced himself to smile at her, his voice so faint she could hardly hear it. "Your big brother is here. Don't cry, A Yao."

Xie Yao had transmigrated.

She had arrived in a cultivation world called the Ancient Continent.

On her first day there, Xie Yao discovered that Lin Si wasn't the yandere ghost she'd designed at all. He was gentle, pure-hearted, powerful, beautiful, and tragic...

A month after transmigrating, she watched Golden Core realm Lin Si kill a Divine Transformation elder with a single sword strike, and her entire understanding of reality shattered!!

In her sixth year there, Xie Yao successfully unlocked several of Lin Si's hidden traits, but never managed to unlock his twisted desire for control.

Until, in the bridal chamber, Lin Si tugged away the crimson robe draped over her shoulders, caressed the little bell on her slender, pale ankle, and gently drew her back beneath him. His gaze was tender and seductive. "A Yao, don't cry."

Only then did she realize that this hidden trait had been at 100% ever since she transmigrated.

Lin Si's perspective:

Ever since A Yao came to my world, it has finally stopped being a place of utter silence and darkness.

But one thing has always made me uneasy: A Yao keeps wanting to go home.

I only want to spend a little more time with her, but she devotes herself to cultivation. The way she works so hard to break through tells me she really wants to leave me...

A Yao...

Would it be too selfish of me to do this?

[Important notes]

1. Lin Si (the Si is pronounced like "four").

2. The male lead is incredibly gentle with the female lead. He doesn't mistreat her.

3. This is not an ordinary transmigration story. The male lead will disappear (to clarify: his body will disappear).

Theme: The heart is the universe, and this moment is forever.
