The Parenting Plan Goes Wrong

[Please add my next book to your collection: Daddy (modern BL, a daddy-and-puppy pairing; see the announcement for the link)]

Eighteen-year-old Qi Xiangyang was reborn eight years in the past.

An accident with the timeline left his ten-year-old self and his eighteen-year-old self existing in the same space.

Qi Xiangyang thought his ten-year-old self was timid, weak, introverted, yet extremely greedy, sensitive, and conceited. His entire life over the past eighteen years had been made miserable by those traits.

He hated who he was now, and hated his ten-year-old self even more.

He wanted to destroy himself.

But he was unwilling to accept that fate.

So... his ten-year-old self's personality wasn't set yet. If he intervened and guided his growth now, could he turn him into the sharpest and most obedient blade in his hands?

The answer was yes.

He named ten-year-old Qi Xiangyang Qi Sihuo.

For decades, day after day, he told him that the Qi family on the Main Star was his enemy, and that they didn't want him.

He also made him believe that he was the only person in the world who truly cared for him, and that he had to be loyal to him.

Again and again, he forced his own experiences onto Qi Sihuo, demanding that he grow up according to the template he'd given him.

What Qi Xiangyang didn't know was that Qi Sihuo shared memories with him at certain times, and that the other personality he'd split off, Qi Miaomiao, had also been reborn with him.

He chose to become a companion flame, residing inside Qi Sihuo.

He showed Qi Sihuo the course of Qi Xiangyang's life, his desperate struggle in a den of wolves, his life hanging by a thread, and how his family eventually abandoned him, leading to his death

"Big Brother, I've seen it all."

"What?"

"Those days when you struggled all alone. This time, let me protect you."
