Favoring Sons over Daughters? I Become a Star and Leave My Family Stunned

I wanted to make my little brother famous, so I suggested he play the flute with his nostrils on a variety show. The one who went viral across the internet turned out to be me.

My brother, who's about as bright as a rock, was going to audition for the role of a devoted second male lead. Mom grabbed my hand, tears in her eyes. “Yueyue, your brother is the dragon of this family. Whether he soars to greatness depends on you!” I nodded solemnly, then ordered him an extra-spicy hot pot from hell.

The next day, my brother's face was swollen like a pig's. On camera, he tried to say “I love you” and came out with “I love you” slurred into gibberish. He earned himself a trending hashtag: #TheEntertainmentIndustry'sFirstSausageLips.

When the whole family blamed me for failing to look after him, only Gu Huaizhi, the movie star sitting in the corner, gave me a meaningful smile.

Later, the company tried to salvage his image by putting him on a variety show to showcase his talents. Once again, I offered my “thoughtful” advice. “Bro, singing and dancing are too ordinary. You need to think outside the box! Trust me, play the flute with your nostrils. It'll blow everyone away!” He believed me.

That night, my brother stormed the trending charts again with his bizarre nasal rendition of “Two Tigers.”

And because I was always by his side wearing an expression of “sincere encouragement and heartfelt concern,” netizens dubbed me #TheUnluckiestBigSisterWithTheGreatestContrastEver. Overnight, I had more followers than my brother had notes in his flute before he ran out of breath. My brother was furious, and my parents were dumbfounded.

Then the movie star Gu Huaizhi placed an S+ leading-lady contract in front of me, a smile playing on his lips. “Miss Su, I think you were born for this line of work, especially when it comes to setting people up.”
