The Proud Dragon's Beloved Junior Brother

A very intense doting-wife story. Dark and twisted. Avoid if that's not your thing. Be warned. Condemn it. (The author has never deleted any comments. If a comment is gone, it was most likely automatically removed by the System.) Ruo Jianying was once a spoiled little junior disciple of an immortal sect, a law unto himself. But then Luo Linxiao appeared, the “senior disciple who went down the mountain to gain experience years ago and never returned,” as his father put it. Ruo Jianying fell for this arrogant chosen one, a prodigy of the immortal realm with an absolutely foul temper, as easily and recklessly as if he'd been bewitched. From then on, he became a clingy hanger-on who pursued his senior disciple every day, forever calling out “Senior, senior!” He couldn't wait to put on a wedding dress, spend their wedding night together, and become his senior's obedient little wife. Only at the very end did he learn that this inexplicable affection and admiration came from Luo Linxiao being the child of the Heavenly Dao, while he himself was nothing more than a standard cannon-fodder character in a power fantasy novel. At ten, Luo Linxiao's family was slaughtered by the demonic sect. From then on, he lived only for revenge and cut himself off from love. But there were always flowers and weeds with no self-awareness, throwing themselves at him. The prettiest and stupidest of them all was naturally Ruo Jianying. Ruo Jianying clung to him for an entire lifetime. Even after Luo Linxiao was reborn, the first person he saw upon waking was still Ruo Jianying. It wasn't until he started taking it for granted that he would always be Ruo Jianying's number one that this pretty idiot suddenly began acting strangely. At last, someone told him the truth: Ruo Jianying only liked him because he had something called a “protagonist halo.” Top: A sharp-tongued, conceited power fantasy hero early on; a controlling, gloomy walking landmine later Bottom: A spoiled junior disciple who throws himself at his crush early on; a clear-headed, helpless little victim later A warm reminder from Natural Hermit: This is an atypical transmigration-into-a-book setup. Both the top and bottom are modern people, but the modern-world arc only appears at the very end. Content warnings: 1. Multiple POVs, including both leads and sometimes side characters. 2. My deeply wicked personal preferences are on full display. This is genuinely vile, and I don't recommend it to anyone with intense character-protection preferences. Be warned! Be warned! Be warned! If you're not enjoying it, please stop reading. 3. The leads have only been with each other. The bottom is somewhat of a heartthrob and will attract plenty of minor characters of every stripe, with lots of people thirsting after him. The top is an obsessive, dark, twisted sort, whose feelings for the bottom are warped and unhealthy. 4. My take on the immortal cultivation setting. There are no power-level systems like Foundation Establishment or Golden Core. It's just a simple world built to let the couple fall in love. If you see any strange settings, I made them up. 5. The scenes mentioned in the blurb appear later in the story. Read with caution. Upcoming stories. If anything catches your eye, please leave a star. Thanks so much! After the Foolish Little Wife Gets Dumped by Her Husband The dim-witted, doting wife who did nothing but call out “Husband!” has finally been dumped by her husband. Yue Xuezhi is beautiful, but utterly useless. He threw himself at his crush, climbed into his bed, and clung to him until he finally got to marry his senior, whom he'd secretly loved for years. Yue Xuezhi had no ambition. His lifelong dream was to cook for his husband, be a good wife, ease his husband's burdens, and take good care of their adopted son. But this foolish, husband-obsessed wife ended up with nothing but divorce papers. Yue Xuezhi thought his husband had gone too far. Heartbroken, he clung to his beloved adopted son and cried. He refused to sign the divorce papers, but his adopted son's words were like a spell: “Sign them. That man doesn't deserve you. He's hardly ever home. What's the point of having a husband like that?” “Sign them, Mom. I swear I'll always take care of you.” In the end, Yue Xuezhi resolved never to forgive his husband, gathered his courage, and signed his name. But the moment he took one step out of his marriage, every mentally ill man in the world came after him. The list of unstable men: [Seems calm and sensible, but is actually psychologically unwell] Adopted son [Acts aloof and stubborn, but is actually possessive and deeply jealous] Ex-husband [Seems considerate and doting, but is actually a sinister schemer with ulterior motives] Childhood friend [Likes to pick on people and bully them, but is really just desperate for attention] College boy Theme: Finding true love and growing together
