If the sky falls, let the tallest person hold it up.
Yan Fei has always held this saying as his life's guiding principle. The whole "Heaven envies the talented" and "too much wisdom brings harm" business? He wants no part of it.
He plays dumb and coasts through life, cold-hearted and indifferent, watching from the sidelines. Even when he goes down the mountain, all he wants is to hurry back to the sect and keep his hands clean of worldly affairs.
Until one day, he discovers in despair that...
His senior brother is the tallest person.

"When Heaven and Earth become a furnace, whether you're gold, jade, ordinary iron, or crude copper, you'll all melt into a pool of molten metal. No one can escape."
"Gold and stone can melt, and lifespans can fade. But isn't the reason we cultivators wield swords so we can tame this furnace of Heaven and Earth for the mortal realm?"
A righteous-to-the-point-of-uncanny senior brother gong x a junior brother shou who accidentally sets out on the righteous path.
An ensemble cast story with a complete setting. I'll write a bit first, then start posting.
