    It's not an old saying, but I especially like sister-brother love stories. The requirements are very high. Although the male protagonist is the younger brother, he must not be brotherly, cannot be yandere, or be paranoid. He must be smart, capable and responsible, and a little domineering. The key is to observe male ethics and not be childish. This double cp is a pair of first loves reunited after a long separation, a pair of siblings who are four years apart. I like the relationship between the sister and brother very much. They are happy enemies in the front, and they like each other more and more in the back. It's not ridiculous. It's fun to watch.
