After the Scum Top Died, His Aloof Senior Brother Fell to Darkness

[Next book candidate, though I might start both]

Liang Ruohan thinks people in this world are often unreasonable. It was clearly his senior brother who confessed to him beneath the moonlight, half-dressed and intoxicatingly beautiful as he drank alone. And it was also his senior brother, eyes bloodshot like a madman, who pointed a sword at his heart and said, “We will never see each other again.”

So why is Liang Ruohan the one getting blamed?

“Faithless and fickle.” “Devious and malicious.” “Scum of the earth.”

Sigh.

Actually, he has always been someone who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and grudges. Well, a demon, that is.

Who knew that whenever someone died, it was always the demon’s fault?

“Ruohan, I taught you this. When you kill someone, you must pay with your life.”

Liang Ruohan pushed himself up from the ground. His senior brother’s sword pointed at his neck. A sharp sting, then warm blood trickled down.

Liang Ruohan had paid with his life for the life he took.

But demons can survive anything. Even after losing all his cultivation and dragging around his battered body, he could still “come back from the dead” in an ordinary family’s home, gain a loving mother and father, laze around doing nothing, and raise a useless little brat.

Liang Ruohan thought the life of an ordinary person wasn’t bad at all. He had almost forgotten the pain once his wounds healed.

But in the end, he couldn’t forget.

His senior brother suddenly showed up at his door, wanting to take him away. Demonic energy swirled around those cool, immaculate features.

“...Can’t we go back to how things were?”

“How?”

Reader’s guide:

1. A gentle, scummy heartthrob who used to be hopelessly love-struck but is now afraid to love x a cool senior brother who turns dark

2. Extremely melodramatic, full of love and hatred, and a pretty brutal groveling chase after the top...

Theme: Discern right from wrong.
