My Junior Brother Is Playing the White Lotus Again

Lei Zeyue, the senior sister of an immortal sect, bears a sentence of doom: she is destined to die soon. She's gotten used to it, but the junior brother she picked up seems to have gone a little crazy.

That elegant, gentle young immortal, so devoted to the Dao and pure of heart, was supposed to be a lotus untouched by the mud. Yet he schemed to bind himself to her with a demon-lord pact, so they would live and die together.

Knowing she'd refuse, he came to her covered in wounds and barely breathing, stirring her compassion as he begged her to live a long life.

One day, she accidentally entered a formation and disappeared for several days. When she came out, she saw her usually obedient, docile junior brother kicking aside a head that had rolled to his feet. The one who had set up the formation and his entire household were trapped in it, and he was cutting them down one by one, in order.

Her bright and elegant junior brother stood amid the scattered corpses, slowly wiping the blood splashed onto the wrist holding his sword. “I almost missed this spot. Senior Sister would be sad if she saw it.”

Had she... raised her flower wrong?

-

1. Both leads are devoted only to each other. Happy ending.

2. Some ensemble cast. Equal focus on plot and romance, with dungeon runs and leveling up.

3. Spirit realm ranks:

Qi Refining → Primordial Foundation Realm (seven stages) → Ascendant Origin Realm (three stages) → Cloud Immortal Realm → Saint Realm

Demon power ranks correspond to spirit realm ranks:

Low-rank beasts = Primordial Foundation Realm, Stage Three or below;

Rank Four beasts = Primordial Foundation Realm, Stage Four;

Rank Nine great demons = Ascendant Origin Realm, Stage Two (that is: Primordial Foundation 7 + Ascendant Origin 2)

Millennium-old great demons = Cloud Immortal Realm; ancient divine beasts = Saint Realm

Coming soon: Don't Mess with My Sister

They say the Marquis of Dingbei has killed so many that his wife died young, leaving one child dead and the other mad.

The missing one is Xue Yan. The mad one is Xue Yi.

With the court eyeing the Xue family's military power and no heir to inherit it, Xue Yi simply buys a death warrior on the black market and sends him to the frontier to impersonate her missing brother.

The whole capital wonders whether the marquis's heir, returned from afar, is real or a fake. Xue Yi waits by the city gate, looking frail and teary-eyed.

When the Xue army's banner arrives, the young lady rushes tearfully toward the young man behind her father. The townsfolk watching are all moved by the heartwarming reunion.

Xue Yi plunges into a cloak that smells of jasmine, so fragrant she can barely breathe.

Hey, big brother, are you cold? It's already spring!

She looks up, a tear still hanging in the corner of her eye.

The young man looks even more sickly than she does, with skin like ice and jade, red lips, white teeth, and tender affection in his gaze.

Where's the battle-hardened death warrior she hired???

Who is this foxy beauty???

He wipes the tear from the corner of her eye with his cool fingertips, then draws her into his arms again and whispers, “Little sister, how could he take my place?”

“I'm your brother.”

Xue Yi hates losing control, yet she's the one most prone to it.

Whenever her illness flares up, she curls up alone in a dark room filled with luminous pearls and gets through each long night by herself. She has hidden it well, and no one has mentioned her affliction in a long time.

Eleven years later, someone walks in and gently lifts her into his arms.

Xue Yi thinks, maybe he really is her brother.
