[Fake Incest] [Chasing His Wife to the Crematorium] [Faking His Death] [Redemption]
Jun Zhuyan transmigrated into a book as the male lead's dark moonlight older brother.
The male lead was born into humble circumstances and endured torment and scorn throughout his childhood. The original owner had protected him, only to kick him while he was down, crushing his sincere affection beneath his heel.
In the end, after the male lead ascended the throne, he had Jun Zhuyan torn apart by horses until not a scrap of him remained.
Jun Zhuyan: Thanks, I can feel the pain already.
He turned around and took a look. Hey, the male lead was only ten years old, still a tiny little kid.
Jun Zhuyan patted his chest. It's fine. Kids can still be taught. There's hope for him.

To save his own skin, Jun Zhuyan took good care of the male lead in every way.
When palace servants bullied the male lead, Jun Zhuyan swooped in to save the day.
When the old emperor punished the male lead without cause, Jun Zhuyan knelt to plead for him.
When the male lead was left alone to keep watch over the Cold Palace, Jun Zhuyan brought him home for the New Year and slipped him a big red envelope.
When the male lead killed his enemy, Jun Zhuyan quietly took care of the aftermath and taught him the difference between a tyrant and a wise ruler.
Jun Zhuyan faithfully played the role of life mentor and confidant, doing his best to stop the male lead from growing into a great demon king.
Feeling the child's faint, unspoken dependence on him, Jun Zhuyan was immensely proud of himself.
Who could have guessed that five years later, the male lead would still raise an army and rebel?
On the day the city fell, Jun Zhuyan stood atop the city wall, battered and bloodied, looking down at the people below with red-rimmed eyes.
He'd miscalculated. The boy had been reborn.
Everything that had happened before looked to him like calculated schemes and clumsy performances.
Five years of warmth hadn't melted his inborn cold-heartedness. Jun Zhuyan was still destined to meet the same fate.
How absurd. How tragic.
As the rebels cursed him, Jun Zhuyan's heart turned to ash. Without hesitation, he leaped from the wall.
When he opened his eyes again, Jun Zhuyan had become a sickly male consort in the new emperor's palace.
His new body was so frail that he was out of breath after a few steps. What bothered Jun Zhuyan even more was that his new face looked almost exactly like his old one.
On the day he was forced to serve the emperor in bed, Jun Zhuyan saw how much the male lead had grown. His eyes reddened, and, panting, he raised his exhausted hand and slapped him hard across the face.
The male lead only smiled and held him captive in his arms, his eyes wild and his emotions surging as he called him, “Elder Brother.”
This time, don't even think about leaving again.
*
Time and again, in the dead of night, Jun Yan returned to that day in his dreams.
His usually gentle elder brother had looked at him with eyes cold as frost. His white robes had fluttered, and when he hit the ground, blood had splashed like plum blossoms.
From that day on, he guarded his elder brother's corpse day after day, his eyes bloodshot as he slit his wrists and gouged out his heart.
If he comes back, I'll lock him by my side and never let him leave again. He can resent me, curse me, hate me. I'll bear it all.
Two trails of bloody tears ran down his blood-red eyes.
As long as he comes back, anything is fine.
