When the Tragic Hero Meets the Dragon-Proud Hero

Completed. Here's a new one to look forward to!

A matching ancient-style danmei story about senior and junior brothers: My Senior Brother Died, and I Went Mad for Ten Years

A pre-release blurb for an ancient-style danmei story where the gong and shou share one body and two souls: After the General and I Shared a Body

A beautiful, strong, tragic junior brother suppressed by the protagonist halo and a cheat-like advantage x a domineering, heaven-defying senior brother

Lin Ji died in a spectacular self-detonation, with thousands pointing fingers and countless eyes watching, splattering blood all over everyone nearby.

When he opened his eyes, he had returned to the beginning of the story. He suddenly awakened to the truth: he was merely a vicious male side character in a storybook, there to entertain its readers.

The character bio in the storybook said: Perpetually second-best, relentlessly suppressed by the protagonist halo. No matter how hard he tried, he could never surpass the protagonist. No matter how much trouble he caused, the protagonist would always beat him to the punch. His schemes always fell one step short, and in the end, he would die without a grave.

After learning the truth, Lin Ji gave up: At least his past struggles had given him something to look forward to. If he was going to die sooner or later, what was the point of making such an effort?

Ten years earlier, before he had joined an immortal sect, Lin Ji slung his pack over his shoulder and resolved to avoid the so-called mass recruitment event for immortal sects. But he was still stopped. "Fellow Daoist, you look exceptionally talented, with extraordinary bones. Why not come cultivate with me..."

Lin Ji: "Thanks. Get out of my way."

Could he really be more talented than that guy?

But just as he was about to leave, a sword-carrying youth who looked like a complete jerk walked over and pointed at him. "You. You're the one."

Lin Ji: "?"

He turned around and saw the face he hated most in all the world.

An orphan with mixed spiritual roots and the cultivation talent of a good-for-nothing, he unexpectedly dazzled everyone one day and became the cultivation world's celebrated underdog who rose to become a domineering, heaven-defying protagonist.

Lu Xiaobai had a punchable pretty-boy face. His eyes lit up whenever he looked at anyone, and he had the compassionate air of a bodhisattva. He was always looking at people with pity, and Lin Ji couldn't stand the sight of him.

And yet, his entanglement with this man was impossible to cut or untangle.

After many years, Lin Ji finally had to admit that he simply couldn't overcome the so-called protagonist halo.

He finally figured it out: If he couldn't get the upper hand here, then he'd get it somewhere else.

Later, the final big boss claimed to be the protagonist's nemesis. Lu Xiaobai scoffed. "You?"

"Do you even know what a nemesis is?"

"A nemesis is someone who completely counters the other in every way, from strength to spirit."

"And you can't move me at all."

P.S. An unconventional story, one-on-one, younger gong, strong couple, happy ending.

The beautiful, strong, tragic junior brother is the gong, and the domineering senior brother is the shou.

In terms of strength, the shou is max-level. What can you expect? He's the male lead of a power fantasy, after all. But male leads on Green River have to be gongs on Green River's turf!

Coming soon:

When Gui Ning woke up, he was in a ruined temple.

His body was in terrible shape. He had a persistent high fever, and his legs ached with the pain of frostbite. Most importantly, he had lost his memory.

Apart from his name, he couldn't remember anything about his past.

Gui Ning leaned against the wall and tried to make his way outside to have a look. He couldn't just freeze to death in the temple.

Unfortunately, the next moment, a band of bandits who had suddenly arrived attacked him.

The old saying was right: Never spend the night in a temple.

As the bandits beat him until he was nearly dead, Gui Ning heard another voice in his mind:

"I'll teach you how to kill them."

Shen Yi said he was a great general stationed at the border. He'd taken an arrow on the battlefield, blacked out, and when he came to, he was inside Gui Ning's body.

He didn't know whether he'd died, so Gui Ning had no choice but to take this body and soul on a long journey to the border, to meet the young general whom everyone admired.

Shen Yi was successfully revived, so he recruited Gui Ning into the army and kept him by his side.

Gui Ning's lost and helpless heart finally found a home. At the same time, he fell for Shen Yi, who had stayed with him and comforted him when he was at his lowest.

Unfortunately, Shen Yi was heartless.

The two had weathered life-and-death battles together, but someone drove a wedge between them, and they lost faith in each other.

When Shen Yi mistook him for an enemy spy and ordered his execution, Gui Ning's heart died too.

He was so kind that even in death, he didn't want to drag anyone else down with him. He gave his life to save a stranger, a soldier he had never met, and died in his arms.

Gong's point of view

Shen Yi had been framed by the enemy and nearly killed. When he woke, his soul had entered someone else's body. That person saved his life and returned him to his badly injured body.

Gui Ning had nowhere to go, so Shen Yi kept him. He was curious about this young man, who looked ordinary but had bright eyes and a remarkably clever mind.

He was smart and understanding, and sometimes even a little adorable. Whenever Shen Yi looked at him, his heart would inexplicably pound.

But gradually, he and everyone else began to notice something strange.

Gui Ning had been born a beggar, yet he could read and write and knew military strategy. He could come up with battle plans on the battlefield, and once the fighting was over, he was skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

When rumors spread through the army that he was a spy, Shen Yi drew his sword and carved stone, forcefully silencing the voices speaking against him.

But one day, he saw Gui Ning stealing the most confidential map of the city's defenses from the military tent.

The sword that had once protected him could now be pointed at Gui Ning.

Shen Yi's gaze was sharp as lightning. "Who are you, really?!"

A one-on-one, melodramatic, clichéd story about chasing your love after losing them.

The gong takes the upper hand in the relationship early on, then ends up in the lower position later.
