#I'mReallyNotOkayWithThis#
1. Tang Jingyan falls for a young woman. She's gentle and sweet-tongued, always calling him "big brother" and flattering him until he's over the moon. He hears her family lives in a remote mountain temple and is poor as can be, and secretly thinks he's hit the jackpot.
2. After Shi Qi and Tang Jingyan get together, someone at a gathering with friends asks, "Brother Yan, how did you manage to win your little sister over?"
The man, drunk and bleary-eyed, wraps an arm around the girl beside him and grins like a dog that just won a hundred million: "She was the one who chased me."
Shi Qi obediently agrees: Mm-hmm.
3. Shi Qi was raised in a temple. Her warmest childhood memory is of an older boy who saved her life. But she has been face-blind since she was little, and when she grew up, she mistook someone else for her savior.
Tang Jingyan: "Say that again. What do you mean, you mistook someone else for him?"
Shi Qi: "I'm sorry, but the person I actually wanted to pursue was your older brother."
Tang Jingyan: ...
I've been showing off our love for ages, and in the end, I'm just a stand-in?
Shi Qi casually hands him a check. "Here's ten million. Consider it compensation."
Tang Jingyan: A breakup fee? Exm?
4. There's a new joke going around the industry: The spoiled young master Tang Jingyan has a sweet, obedient girlfriend, but her poor family background is too embarrassing, so he's never taken her to meet his family. To make it up to her, he even set up a company for her and gave her all kinds of resources.
Who could have guessed that even a duck raised at home could fly away? As soon as his girlfriend becomes famous, she dumps her "sugar daddy."
Tang Jingyan, furious at being dumped, takes a drag on his cigarette and threatens her: "If you want to leave, then leave. I'll curse you out every time I see you."
But later...

Tang Jingyan finally loses his patience and tags the person involved on Weibo: You'd better explain yourself to me. What exactly is going on with all these other men? @Little Seventeen
Shi Qi is filming and doesn't know she's been tagged by name. Her "rumored boyfriends," however, all post at once:
Popular movie emperor: That's my biological little sister, @Little Seventeen. Don't try to ride my coattails, ex-boyfriend, okay? @Young Master Tang
Top screenwriter: That's my biological little sister, @Little Seventeen. Whoever tries to ride whose coattails is a dog. Got it? @Young Master Tang
Chairman of the financial group: That's my biological little sister, @Little Seventeen. Get lost. @Young Master Tang
