Trapped in a perfect dream where your deceased brother lives and you've never existed, every memory becomes a prison. The boundaries between illusion and reality blur as you struggle to remember who you are - but forgetting might be easier than facing the pain of your fractured existence. When your brother ventures into darkness to save you, will you choose the warm lie or the painful truth? The poison in your veins isn't just altering your mind; it's showing you what you've always feared: that your place in the world was never guaranteed.

In the smoldering ruins of their clan, two souls forged an unbreakable bond through fire and blood. When tragedy strikes the Gong family, young Yuanzhi must navigate a world of violence and betrayal, his only anchor the fierce protection of Shangjue, a grief-stricken elder brother determined not to fail again. Their journey from silent survivors to loyal brothers unfolds against a backdrop of political intrigue and dangerous secrets, where each choice could mean life or death. This is the origin story of a bond that would shape the fate of an entire clan.

The moment I heard them call me family, something shifted inside me. Not a breaking, but a awakening—a realization that these brothers who've always watched over me might actually want me close. So I decided to test just how wanted I really am. With stolen robes, stolen seats, and a carefully weaponized 'gege' that makes Ziyu stumble over his words and Shangjue sigh like the weight of the world rests on his patience. This is my verification process: how far can I push before they push back? Spoiler: I haven't found the limit yet.
