What is Past manga?

Anime that takes place in the past or clearly seems to take place in the past in case of an alternative universe. This category should almost always go together with one of its sub-categories, because the past can either be a depiction of a historical event(s) or not, in which case it would be alternative past.

I want to overturn that mountain. I am going to fight for myself.” (Source: Novel Updates)

Who Dares Slander My Senior Brother

Description:

Transmigrating into a novel one morning, Wen Jing arrived at the side of the one he worshiped and admired the most, becoming a loyal hound that was willing to go through fire and water for his senior brother. Even the most arrogant cultivator said: “There is no one in this world who can enter my eyes, but only Jun YanZhi is truly noble.” Wen Jing grew up alongside his senior brother, idolizing his senior brother beyond all means. Unfortunately, he was ignorant, and as for this novel, he had only read half of it. Midway through the storyline, he finally realized that things didn’t seem to be the way he thought they were. Wen Jing: “Last night, Senior brother infiltrated Master’s abode. Master, please take heed.” His master: “Nonsense! Your master was inside the abode all night last night, and did not see anyone else.” Wen Jing: “Last night, Senior brother left on his own without permission to meet someone. Martial Uncle, please thoroughly investigate.” His martial uncle: “Nonsense! Last night your senior brother and I were drinking and chatting merrily, all the way until morning.” Wen Jing: “Last night, Senior brother was improper towards me……” His senior sister: “Nonsense! How can your senior brother possibly do that kind of thing? Don’t tell me you’ve long held those kind of intentions towards him, and unable to obtain what you wanted, you’re now framing him?” Many years later. Wen Jing: “There’s this evil brute, specializing in using his top-notch, exquisite looks and elegant disposition to fool people, and everyone is in the midst of danger while not even aware of it themselves.” Jun YanZhi: “If it wasn’t for you, that evil brute would most likely still be struggling in pain and suffering.” (Source: Novel Updates)
