"All those days and nights my junior brother coveted me, and I knew nothing of it."

When Jiang Yu was nearing the end of her allotted lifespan, she received a mission: guide a group of wicked young cultivators who might become demons in the future onto the righteous path. She worked diligently and conscientiously, devoted to caring for each and every one of them.
But in the end, she still failed. She was locked away in a dark cell, with the most vicious of the pack crouched nearby. He gazed at her with a sickly obsession and said she was always fickle, always falling for someone new.
Jiang Yu was thunderstruck. Heaven itself could bear witness: she had only ever cared for every one of them equally!

From the day Pei Zhi was adopted by Jiang Yu, he knew that many dogs circled her. They gathered around his senior sister in little groups, wagging their tails and begging for her affection. They were as irritating as swarming flies, yet they were always skilled at acting docile in front of her.
He endured it for many years, finally finding the chance to kill them one by one, without a sound.
The first to die was naturally his senior sister's nominal fiance.
Blood ran down his pale, slender knuckles, making him look both murderous and feral.
Later, when the truth came out, he was imprisoned in the Black Prison.
Before he died, she still came to see him. "What is it you really want?"
"I only want my senior sister to give me a little affection."
He raised his head, revealing an innocent smile.
"...Absurd!" She grew angry. "Even now, you're still lying."
A dense, gnawing pain devoured his hollow heart. He gazed greedily at his senior sister, and amid the pain, there was also a trace of sweetness.
His senior sister truly understood him. He had indeed been lying.
He was greedy by nature, fierce and untamable. It was because he coveted her that he willingly let himself be chained and stayed by her side.
So what he wanted was not a little affection bestowed on him out of pity. That would be no different from drinking poison to quench his thirst.
What he truly wanted was all her love, all her attention, everything within her sight. Unfortunately, he could not ask for it, could not take it, and could not wait for it. So he went mad and became a demon, beyond saving.
