[Wild, flamboyant top x ruthless, taciturn walking powder keg bottom]
Yue Yuan, a disciple of Liufeng Valley, vanished unexpectedly while on a mission to eliminate demons, leaving behind only a broken wooden messenger bird. Every sect concluded that he had died, but his junior disciple Yun Sui carried the bird with him day and night, refusing to accept that his senior brother was gone.
Several years later, a new Demon Lord appeared, leading his followers to occupy a small hill on the border of human territory. As the human race hurried to prepare for war, they watched in disbelief as the demons pulled out hoes and began reclaiming the land, planting vegetables and flowers.
Everyone: ...What kind of bizarre cultivation method is this?
Even more horrifying, someone discovered that the new Demon Lord looked exactly like the supposedly dead Yue Yuan!
Resurrected, Yue Yuan claimed the hill as his own and lived in carefree comfort, having completely forgotten his old sect and companions.
Yun Sui ventured up the mountain alone, only to be flung away by a gust of sinister wind as soon as he set foot there.
Yue Yuan appeared and scolded him: "Reckless fool! You're standing on my vegetables!"
Yun Sui took out the repaired wooden bird, hoping to bring back his senior brother's memories, only to find that the bird had broken in two again from the earlier attack.
On guard, Yue Yuan laughed. "I thought it was some divine artifact or precious treasure. Turns out it's so fragile."
Yun Sui stared at the broken bird in his hands, his fists clenching.
He took a deep breath, expressionless, grabbed a handful of dirt, hurled it at the Demon Lord, and turned to run.
[Top's perspective]:
Amnesiac Yue Yuan: Some guy dared to throw dirt at me. If he weren't so good-looking, I'd beat him up every time I saw him.
Recovered his memories, Yue Yuan: ...I'm doomed.
That's the junior brother I've protected for years, the one I finally managed to warm up!!
