After the Demon Lord Kidnapped the Most Hated Senior Brother

Yan Fuyi suddenly realizes that no matter what he does, it always seems to be wrong.

His revered master, whom he worships like a god, dislikes him. His eyes are fixed only on his gentle, lovable junior brother and the so-called “common people of the world.”

He takes his junior brother on a trial and is accused of envying his talent and deliberately setting him up.

He does everything he can to protect someone entrusted to his care by an old friend, only to be accused of greed and currying favor with the sect leader’s son to climb the ladder.

He takes on sect duties and helps weaker, ordinary disciples, only to be accused of harboring ambition and buying their loyalty with favors.

He cares for all living beings, mends the barrier with his own body, and fights the heavenly tribulation, yet even that is dismissed as a calculated performance.

Even the spirit beast he rescued from demonic cultivators and secretly raised in a mountain valley turns against him once it regains its identity as the Demon King’s son and claims its place of honor. It lets the whole world call Yan Fuyi a despicable thief who stole the young heir of the demon race and made the Demon King and his wife go gray overnight.

Yan Fuyi has no way to defend himself.

One day, he suddenly discovers that he is the villainous male supporting character in a Jack Su romance, a Mary Sue romance, and a comeback story about a heaven-defying protagonist. His entire life exists only so the protagonists can humiliate him and use him as a stepping stone to the top.

So be it. He was deluded, and gave his heart to the wrong people. He can simply take it back.

Then one day, the Demon Venerable, sealed away for a thousand years, emerges from the abyss, tears through the barrier, and marches on the immortal sects. Yan Fuyi fights until he has nothing left. As the Demon Venerable’s sword pierces his chest, not one person comes to save him.

His aloof, unfeeling master shields his junior brother with his own body. The spirit beast Yan Fuyi once saved with his heart’s blood doesn’t even spare him a glance.

The immortal sects fall, but the mighty army of demons suddenly withdraws, taking only one person with them.

Yan Fuyi wakes to find himself imprisoned in the depths of the abyss. Looking down at him, the Demon Venerable says that the world is ignorant, and that he will guide Yan Fuyi into demonic cultivation.

Yan Fuyi asks, “Why me?”

“Because I intend to bring down these three thousand worlds and build a path to ascension. To do so, I need to find someone utterly pure and righteous, then shatter his Dao heart.”

“Oh,” Yan Fuyi says flatly. “So I’m the unlucky one again.”

“Will you let it be broken?”

“No.”

But what can he do? He still loves this narrow-minded, ignorant, absurd mortal world so deeply. Through a thousand trials and tribulations, through humiliation and slander, he still cherishes the green of every plant and tree, and would never regret it, even if he had to die nine times over.

After the Demon Venerable abducts the eldest disciple of Kunlun Sword Pavilion, the world descends into chaos.

Everything changes.

The emotionless Immortal Venerable Wentian travels from sect to sect, humbling himself to ask for help, all to bring his disciple back from the demon realm.

The heartbroken junior brother braves the demon lands alone, suffering injury after injury, but never giving up.

The exceptionally gifted son of the sect leader turns against his sect to demand justice for his senior brother.

The young heir of the demon realm goes nearly mad, determined to take revenge on everyone who ever slandered Yan Fuyi. At the summit of Fuyi Cliff, he smashes his horns against the rock.

Yan Fuyi’s name is once again whispered from street to street, but this time, he is no longer a supporting character trapped by fate in someone else’s story.

Those who owe him a debt of gratitude kneel and beseech the heavens, asking only that he be safe.

But this time, the aloof sword cultivator, too softhearted for his own good, never turns back with a smile.

*

They say the broken Ascension Stairway, missing for ten thousand years, has finally reappeared.

They say the last Golden Immortal in the Nine Provinces has held a banquet and taken his first disciple in ten thousand years.

He cultivates the Art of Emotionless Detachment, yet walks the path of compassion.

1. After Saving a Dark Sentinel, My Fake Death Failed: A Thousand Ways for a Charmer to Create a Love-Rivalry Showdown

Yin Siling dies suddenly and wakes up inside a melodramatic Sentinel-and-Guide novel.

In the story, the protagonist couple are locked in a tragic romance, a galactic war rages, and the biggest villain of all is the dark Sentinel Xie Ying. After being cruelly used as a test subject, he escapes, rebels against the Empire, and unleashes a storm of violence across the stars.

As an utterly ordinary, tragic male supporting character, Yin Siling diligently follows the plot, bringing the protagonist couple together for a happy life. Then, following his adoptive parents’ careful schemes, he is sent in the protagonist’s place as a sacrifice to the great villain.

But at some point, his original character setting falls apart completely:

He was supposed to be an unclassified ordinary person, yet he has a 90% compatibility rating with an Imperial Major General.

He was supposed to be as unremarkable as dust, yet he becomes a rising star in politics, with admirers lined up from the palace to the Hall of Heroes.

He was supposed to be torn to shreds the moment he met the villain, yet later, all Yin Siling has to do is crook a finger, and the villain’s mighty white tiger spirit entity rolls around and begs for affection like a big house cat.

After giving the villain a hand and using the opportunity to fake his own death, everything spirals out of control.

First, because of a System error, Yin Siling’s fake death makes it look as if his old identity died to make way for his new one.

Second, he somehow triggers a bizarre plotline: “After he died, they all went mad.”

Finally, his new identity is suddenly taken prisoner and dragged aboard a rebel ship.

Yin Siling: ...It’s fine. With mental powers far beyond an S-rank Guide, Sentinels from every faction are my dogs.

Xie Ying is gravely wounded and dies, only to return to the most unbearable period of his life.

In his previous life, this experience destroyed his mental sea, condemning him to a lifetime of suffering and eventually killing him.

But this time, someone walks in and illuminates the suffocating darkness.

With this person’s help, he regains his freedom earlier than in his previous life and organizes the Freedom Alliance Army, a force that makes the Empire tremble.

But the person he wants to give the whole world to never lives long enough for him to come and get them.

The person who killed him is Xie Ying’s most hated enemy from his previous life, an opponent every bit his equal: Yin Siling, the future celebrated General of the Morning Star.

In his previous life, Yin Siling killed him.

In this life, he killed the person Xie Ying loves most.

Extra 1:

Yin, master of tearjerkers, Siling: He loved me so much that he died for me. I’m the last thing he left behind in this world.

Yin, master of acting, Siling: Would you really destroy his last wish? (sniffles like a sweet, innocent victim)

Extra 2:

Today, the senior officers of the Freedom Alliance Army are once again fighting outside their commander’s bedroom.

Rank 1: Allowed to kiss the Guide’s gloves

Rank 2: Allowed to have the Guide pat your head

Rank 3...

The Alliance Sentinels offer their most heartfelt blessing to the culprit who once again made the Guide sleep in:

Commander, are you impotent today?

Theme: Having seen the vastness of the world, I still cherish the green of every plant and tree.
