Free-spirited older brother shou x Yandere, corrupted wolf cub gong
Younger gong, loyal dog, raising-up, secret love
At sixteen, Song Jian followed his father on an expedition to crush the Teng Family Army’s rebellion. In a reed marsh, he found a filthy little child. The boy’s eyes were clear yet stubborn, like a little wolf cub abandoned by its pack. Feeling sorry for him, Song Jian brought him home and named him “Jiang Lu.” He’d found him in a reed marsh, so that would do.
He taught Jiang Lu to read and practice martial arts, took him horseback riding and archery, and even let him crawl into his bed every night, where he would softly call him “Older Brother.”
Jiang Lu grew up day by day, but the look in his eyes grew increasingly strange. Song Jian didn’t think much of it. He was just raising a kid. What trouble could there be?
Then, one day seven years later, Song Jian went off to battle with his troops and accidentally fell off a cliff, leaving no remains behind.
Three years after that, Song Jian suddenly came back to life, but everything had changed. His sworn brother had become the emperor, and the child he had raised himself was acting strange, too.
He discovered that his little wolf cub had transformed from a well-behaved little bundle into a nearly sinister, obsessive madman.
Jiang Lu acted obedient on the surface, but secretly kept track of everything happening in the entire Song household. He even knew what color underclothes Song Jian wore each day.
One night, Song Jian climbed over the wall to investigate a case. The moment he landed, Jiang Lu cornered him. The young man’s voice was husky, his damp eyes fixed on Song Jian.
“Are you going to leave me behind again, Older Brother?”
Song Jian: “...I was just going for a walk.”
Jiang Lu smiled crookedly. “Then I’ll come with you.”
Song Jian: “You really don’t have to... A-Lu, you don’t have to accompany me everywhere. Sure, I raised you, but that doesn’t make you my child bride.”
Jiang Lu: “If Older Brother wants, I can be.”
Even more frightening, Song Jian gradually discovered that his death years ago seemed connected to Jiang Lu’s past. And his sworn brother, Emperor Liang Shuo, also looked at him strangely...
Liang Shuo: “I’ve missed you all this time.”
Song Jian: “Then burn more paper offerings for me.”
Jiang Lu glared and silently drew his sword. “He’s alive and well. Why burn paper offerings?”
Liang Shuo: “...”
