One day, Lin Wei wakes up as a three-and-a-half-year-old doomed little girl in a story set in a bygone era.
According to the plot, this sickly little sister will be abandoned in the mountains by her grandmother, who favors boys. After losing their little sister, her four older brothers, each destined for greatness, will gradually turn dark, and their family will end in ruin.
Before her are...
Her sixteen-year-old eldest brother, rebellious and headstrong, about to go to the provincial capital to "make it big" with a bunch of thugs;
Her thirteen-year-old second brother, gloomy and taciturn, secretly sharpening a knife to "settle the score" with the bully who picked on her;
Her ten-year-old third brother, precocious and clever, planning to steal money to buy medicine on the black market because her illness won't get better;
And her fourth brother, just six, so thin and pale from hunger himself, yet offering her the very last spoonful of porridge.
Lin Wei reaches out her little hand and tugs at her eldest brother's pants. "Big brudder, carry me..."
She grabs her second brother's knife hand. "Your hand's cold. Let me warm it, brudder..."
She leans close to her third brother's ear and whispers, "Third Brother, there are... eggs in the woodpile!"
Finally, she pushes the spoon of porridge back toward her fourth brother. "Fourth Brother, you eat too. Let's grow big together."
From then on, everything changes at home.
Her eldest brother stops hanging around with thugs and starts running freight for real.
Her second brother stops being gloomy and carries his little sister around the village, bragging, "My sister's the cutest!"
Her third brother puts his cleverness to use in school, saying he'll become a doctor and "cure my little sister."
And her fourth brother... becomes his sister's personal shadow.
Soon the family whose fate she changed is thriving.
Her parents, now well-off, laugh as they lift her high in the air.
Her successful brothers take turns giving her pocket money.
Even the grandmother who once wanted to abandon her has started sneaking her candy.
One day, the boy who was supposed to become her "fated nemesis" in the original story shows up.
He looks at me, surrounded by my family and dressed in a red padded jacket like a doll in a New Year picture, and hesitantly holds out his hand. "Can we... be friends?"
My four brothers immediately step in front of me.
My eldest brother sneers. "Stay away from my sister."
My second brother flashes his knife. "Not a chance."
My third brother adjusts his glasses. "Your IQ isn't high enough. Don't even try."
My fourth brother... just grabs me. "My sister is mine!"
Surrounded by them, Lin Wei blinks. Having too many big brothers is a real problem~
