Hua Lingyue is the youngest disciple in his sect. He has a beautiful face, but his androgynous looks mean his third senior brother is always teasing him by calling him "Little Junior Sister," and the other senior brothers and sisters have followed suit.
Hua Lingyue has protested countless times, but to no avail.
No matter. Hua Lingyue trains hard in martial arts, and every time his third senior brother calls him that, he beats him up.
His third senior brother goes from never fighting back to fleeing for fear of being beaten to death. In the process, he becomes the best in the world at lightness skills.
As they grow older, they no longer spend every day together as they used to.
One day, his third senior brother elopes with someone. Hua Lingyue doesn't understand.
Later, Hua Lingyue elopes with someone too. Now he understands.
Hua Lingyue gets his heart broken. He and his third senior brother, who has also been dumped, sit by a cliff and contemplate life, talking from poetry and lyrics to their ideals in life.
Remembering his ex's complaint that he didn't love him enough, Hua Lingyue can't help feeling melancholy. "Senior Brother, what does it mean to like someone?"
His third senior brother takes Hua Lingyue's hand and presses it to his chest. "When your heart pounds like this, it means you like someone."
Hua Lingyue ponders this. "Then you don't like me?"
His third senior brother reflects for a moment, looking troubled. "Not exactly."
After some thought, Hua Lingyue kisses his third senior brother on the cheek and feels his heart pounding beneath his hand.
Oh, Senior Brother likes me.

The eldest senior sister asks the third senior brother, "If you like the most beautiful people, why don't you like Little Fifth?"
The third senior brother says, "I'm gay. How could I like Little Fifth?"
The eldest senior sister is silent for a moment, then says, "Little Fifth is a man too."
The third senior brother is silent for a moment too, then says, "Oh. I guess he is."
Hua Lingyue, who has been discussed right to his face, frowns and raises his whip, chasing his third senior brother from the mountain top all the way down the mountain.
A stubborn, competitive younger disciple-top who works hard to take care of the eldest senior sister and senior brother x a frivolous, rebellious senior brother-bottom with gender identity issues
1. Both the top and bottom have exes.
2. Their relationship will probably be pretty messed up, though I think it's very pure love (not).
