Description
In the mansion of the Duke of Tang in Jinyang, a pair of twin brothers resided. The elder brother, Li Shimin, was physically robust and excelled in martial arts, while the younger, Li Xuanba, had been consuming medicines from the time he was born. It was often said that twins shared a mysterious telepathic link. Li Shimin, the second son of the Duke, confirmed these rumors to be true. After several moments of shock caused by the astonishing words originating from Li Xuanba’s mind, Li Shimin decided to confront his twin. “Xuan, do you know that each time you focus your mind, I can hear your thoughts? Can you possibly stop doing so? I prefer not to listen.” Li Xuanba, known far and wide as the fragile son who was always under the weather retorted, “No. If you’re dissatisfied, you can talk as well.” Li Shimin, though physically healthy but mentally not as robust as Li Xuanba, tried with all his might to conjure a mental expression, only managing to squeeze out a single character after turning a shade of purple. “Ah!!!!!!!” This left Li Xuanba almost laughing himself into convulsions. In his previous life, Li Xuanba worked as an editor for a historical marketing account. He had specialized in trolling Li Shimin to gain traffic. However, after overworking himself to death one night, he was reborn as the fragile twin brother of Li Shimin, a character from a historical fiction novel famous for a bravery akin to that of Xiang Yu, but in reality died of illness at the age of sixteen. Li Xuanba thought, “Oh ho, this is retribution.” Regardless, he decided to go with the flow, even telling his brother, “Hey, if you want any spoilers, I’ll tell you!” Li Shimin, exasperated, retorted, “I don’t want to hear anything!!” Years later, Li Shimin was adorned in dragon robes, his hands stained with fresh blood. Li Xuanba, frail as ever, was still alive. One day, after Li Xuanba fell onto the ground pretending to faint after an argument with Wei Zheng, Li Shimin hoisted his brother onto his back and set off running, just like when they were children. “Hahaha, brother, you should have seen how twisted old Wei’s face was!” Li Xuanba laughed. “Shut up!” replied Li Shimin. “Congratulations, brother. You can finally say two words, hehe.” Once again, Li Shimin displayed a grimace of annoyance, carrying his bothersome brother forward with each step. Footnote: This is a story that the author enjoys writing, filled with palace intrigue, sibling rivalry, and acts of patricide. It’s an alternative history, filled with many unfounded rumors and private settings. The dialogs and appellations are more modernized instead of being authentic to the Tang Dynasty. The main characters are far from perfect: Li Shimin has his flaws as a feudal emperor; Li Xuanba is even less of a good person, his main priority being his own well-being. Updates are daily. If any changes, an announcement will be made.

My Thoughts on Li Shimin Feels a Headache for His Younger Brother
Okay, let me tell you, "Li Shimin Feels a Headache for His Younger Brother" completely took me by surprise. I went in expecting something light and fluffy, maybe a bit comedic, but what I found was a surprisingly engaging historical drama with depth, heart, and a protagonist I couldn't help but root for.
First Impressions
Initially, the summary intrigued me – a reincarnated MC becoming the sickly twin brother of Emperor Taizong of Tang? Sign me up! I was a bit wary of the ancient China setting; it's not usually my go-to genre. However, the promise of clever plotting and complex family relationships was too tempting to resist. I'm really glad I took the plunge.
What Works Well
The core of this novel, for me, is the relationship between the MC and his brother, Li Shimin. The familial love feels genuine, and the humor that arises from their interactions is brilliantly done. Li Shimin's constant attempts to avoid hearing about the future from his brother had me laughing out loud. Beyond the central relationship, the world-building is fantastic. The author paints a vivid picture of the Sui dynasty's decline and the subsequent chaos, making the rise of the Tang dynasty feel both epic and believable.
I also appreciate the author's attention to detail when it comes to historical accuracy. While it's undoubtedly an alternate history, the effort to ground the story in real events and figures is evident. The characters, even the minor ones, are well-developed and memorable, each with their own motivations and quirks. The MC's journey from a frail child to a respected strategist is compelling, full of twists and turns that kept me hooked.
Final Verdict
"Li Shimin Feels a Headache for His Younger Brother" is a gem. It's a well-written, engaging story with a strong emotional core and a fascinating historical backdrop. If you're looking for a novel that blends humor, drama, and a touch of fantasy, I highly recommend giving this one a try. I'm eagerly awaiting more chapters!
