What?! Everyone’s Love-Struck, This Family Would Fall Apart Without Me

Si Xin unexpectedly discovers that the world she lives in is a novel, and she's a cannon-fodder supporting character who isn't even worthy of a name.

In the novel, the Si family is an elite, wealthy clan, but their love-struck parents have raised a whole brood of love-struck children.

The eldest brother is world-weary and slacks off so much that he keeps putting off his doctorate year after year. He willingly becomes a tool for a sea queen to write her thesis, working day and night until he drops dead.

Brainwashed by his eldest brother into working hard, the short-tempered second brother becomes a model employee. Without a second thought, he gives up his inheritance rights and meekly becomes a stand-in, only to die saving the scumbag's one true love.

The mute third sister became famous at a young age as a genius painter, but puts down her brushes and dutifully becomes a housewife. Her husband and his mistress plot her gruesome death so they can steal her inheritance.

The eccentric fourth brother is obsessed with fortune-telling and superstition. He falls in love with a married woman who is often beaten by her husband, becoming a champion of pure love, only to be beaten into a vegetative state.

The useless fifth sister is spoiled and has no sense of caution. When her childhood sweetheart and fiancé cheats on her, she turns evil, but her low intelligence gets her killed in an instant.

So when Si Xin, who has lived abroad since childhood, returns home, she discovers the family's been ruined. Everyone but her has been wiped out, her mother has gone mad, and her father has fallen ill from the shock.

The burden of carrying on the family falls to her, trapping her in a sea of work.

Now holding the script in her hands, Si Xin decides to give them a token helping hand.

Under her tailored guidance, the story veers further and further off the rails.

The eldest brother stops being a simp, the second brother beats the scumbag senseless, the third sister sends the freeloader to jail, the fourth brother gives up his savior complex, and the fifth sister chooses to wish the couple well and let them stay together forever.

Si Xin peacefully settles into a life of doing nothing.
