After Transmigrating as the Younger Brother of an Arrogant Beauty Grand Duke

Synopsis: Also known as "How to Prevent Brother from Turning into a Gloomy Ghost". Family-oriented, the male lead is a traditionally upright, kind, and healing 'little sun', revered by his followers as a 'divine messenger', 'saint', 'angel'... The older brother, lacking love since childhood, is elegant and noble in appearance but twisted and gloomy inside. He equally looks down on everyone except the male lead, hoping to become an eternal 'we' with his younger brother.

The main text (《The Royal Capital Arc》, 《Construction Arc: Dense Forest》, 《Flower Street Arc》, 《Construction Arc: Birthday, Black Death》, 《Civil War Arc: Storm, Blaze, Dawn》, 《True Dragon Arc》, 《Truth Arc》) is concluded. 《True Love Hemolysis Arc》 is a sequel to the main text's extra chapters.

Synopsis One: Family Version

Xiao Yun transmigrated to another world, becoming Lucien, the half-brother of the beautiful, arrogant, and sickly Divine Grand Duke Alaric. Feeling uneasy, Xiao Yun tried to escape in the middle of the night, only to be stopped by Alaric's spatial barrier, set up in advance to prevent his brother from running away.

Xiao Yun: "...If I said I left my bedroom by climbing out the window in the middle of the night to escape...would you be angry?"

"A little angry," Alaric embraced his brother, who was wandering outside late at night, "Be careful not to catch a cold!"

...

Hearing that his younger brother had once again rejected a noble young lady's proposal of love, Alaric was puzzled: "She's very cute and has a good personality, very suitable to be your wife."

Xiao Yun shook his head: "I don't want to get married."

"Why?"

"Because I hope that every day of your life, you can truly feel that you are my only one."

"But..."

"You see me as your dearest brother, and of course, I will love my older brother too... I want to sway in the same wind as you, sharing the same joys and sorrows."

...

"All commotions will find their final peace beneath the cold soil, only we will become an eternal 'we'... We will always be together..."

Special Statement:

The original concept of this novel was a fanfiction where an original male lead transmigrates to save a tragic character from the original work. However, during the actual plot design, it was excessively re-written (the original world-view, character settings, background stories, etc., were all re-structured and originally modified). If the original character names were still used, it would be misleading, so it is marked as an original work.

Statement:

1. This is a fictional otherworld, with a retro hodgepodge world-view of Japanese Western fantasy and medieval Western fantasy, mixed with elements such as system gacha, public display of power, Cthulhu-esque monsters, kingdom building, and war.

2. Author's notes will occasionally include small theater scenes, fragmented settings of the otherworld, and annotated settings for parts of the main text. The content might be extensive, so readers who dislike too many author's notes should turn them off.

3. Many settings in this novel refer to the Western fantasy progenitor series 'Conan the Barbarian' created between 1932-1936, and the Japanese super-long Western fantasy light novel 'Guin Saga' (also known as 'The Leopard Lord Legend', including 'Berserk', most Japanese Western fantasy works have referenced this novel) created between 1978-2009. Strictly speaking, this novel is actually an original work adapted from these two fanfictions.

4. This novel has approximately 120,000 words of free content. We believe this much free content is enough for everyone to understand the novel's world-view and settings. Mwah~

5. The cover image material comes from the antique book cover of the English edition of 'The Bird', an essay by French historian Jules Michelet (1798-1874).
