I Became the Heroine's Older Brother in a Tragic Novel
The heir of Yongning Duke, Jun Huailang, is reborn one day, only to discover that he is the cannon-fodder character No. N in a “stepmother literature” novel.
The male protagonist, Xue Yan, was originally an unfavored prince who had been ostracized and secretly harmed since childhood. After turning dark, he formed his own faction, supported his young half-brother in ascending the throne, and became the regent who held all the power in his hands.
He even slaughtered the entire family of the young Empress Dowager, forcing her into an illicit relationship with him simply because she had once offended him when they were children. And during the process, the Empress Dowager fell in love with him, willingly becoming his plaything.
The entire novel was filled with the two of them’s erotic scenes, making Jun Huailang tremble with rage.
Because this Empress Dowager was none other than his biological younger sister.
And the family that was slaughtered was none other than his own.
After being reborn, when faced with his six-year-old little sister, the refined and courteous Jun Huailang made a decision for the first time.
He would kill that beast for his sister.
——
The first time he encountered Xue Yan, the boy was being bullied by palace servants, shoved around by several young eunuchs.
The second time he encountered Xue Yan, the boy had been framed. At the Emperor’s command, he was dragged outside and beaten bloody in front of all the assembled officials.
The third time he encountered Xue Yan, his serious injuries had not yet healed. He was being toyed with by several of his brothers and was forced, in the middle of the first lunar month, to jump into an icy lake to search for a fan pendant.
Jun Huailang had read too many books of the sages and could never bring himself to strike.
Instead, he developed compassion.
As long as I can straighten this kid out and make sure he doesn’t become enemies with my sister, I’ll spare his life, he thought.
But he did not know that this kid had already become as dark as he could possibly be.
Under his efforts, Xue Yan did not become enemies with his younger sister.
Instead, he developed improper feelings toward him.
Until many years later, when Jun Huailang was pressed against the palace wall by Xue Yan, who was now even taller than him, and kissed until the world seemed to spin around him, did he finally understand what it meant to raise a tiger only to invite trouble.
