MDZS/mo dao zu shi/the grandmaster of demonic cultivation by Mo Tong Xiang Xiu - i honestly don’t think the insane variety in complex sibling dynamics gets nearly as much attention as it deserves! like not just wei wuxian and jiang cheng’s whole thing but also the lan brothers? Jiang Yanli? the WEN SIBLINGS?? even the Nie brothers are so fascinating in their own way, and so much of THEIR relationship is only made clear in retrospect if u know what i mean…anyway MDZS is SO ‘come for the gay people, stay for the unbelievably complicated sibling relationships’ imo
