Don't Bully the Kitty

[Shy, timid little sister x a possessive, competitive, fiercely devoted and tender older brother]

[Kind-tempered but not necessarily obedient x terrible personality but listens to his little sister]

Youyou had the enviable life of a princess on paper, but lived the exact opposite way.

When she was sixteen, her father brought home a boy, calling him the orphaned son of his best friend.

He was refined and polite, handsome and gentle, a model student with no fault anyone could find.

Youyou secretly thought that her older brother was so gentle and considerate. If only he were her real brother.

If only she hadn't stumbled upon the true face of this perfect older brother...

*

That night, the young man who was the darling of everyone blocked the girl's way, stretching out one long leg.

Leaning lazily against the doorframe, he held her love letter between his fingers. His whole demeanor was cold and aloof, almost unrecognizable.

He lifted his eyes and glanced at it. "Bad writing, typos. What did you get on your final exams, that you think you can follow everyone else into a school romance, hmm?"

You crazy, unhinged bastard...

"You're secretly cursing your older brother in your head."

"I'm not..."

Song Shiyan gave a faint smile and coaxed her softly. "Youyou, do you like your big brother, or do you like... your little classmate?"

He toyed with a strand of her hair wrapped around his finger. They were so close it looked like they were about to kiss.

Under someone's increasingly cold gaze, Youyou's face flushed bright red.

"I-I like my big brother..."

As if...

*

It wasn't until the truth came out that Youyou realized everything had been a lie Song Shiyan had woven.

He had planned it all, scheming for years and hiding his feelings for just as long.

Beneath the warm, gentle mask was a cold-hearted, calculating madman.

The story of the true heiress turned into one about a penniless supporting character.

The man who had climbed to the pinnacle of power by stepping on the Xu family held her, the daughter of his enemy, and traced the curve of her ear with his fingertip.

His eyes lowered, his voice tender and obsessive. "How about marrying your big brother after you graduate?"

Song Shiyan was crazy, so Youyou ran away.

Bonus Scene:

After returning to the country, Youyou deliberately chose a city a hundred thousand miles away from her crazy older brother.

A man who had long since become the hottest name in their circle, wealthy and untouchable, inexplicably appeared in a tiny, rundown cafe.

In the stairwell beyond a wall, the door was shut tight. Quiet, restrained panting came from within.

The dignified man, with a handprint on his face, silenced his phone as it rang again and again.

Song Shiyan's gaze traveled inch by inch over her flushed, furious face. He chuckled. "Youyou, would your little boyfriend like to listen to us kiss over the phone?"

Their skin pressed together, warmth enveloping them. His dark eyes were deep and shadowy, his knuckles firmly gripping her waist. In a husky voice, he said, "You don't like your big brother? That's fine. Big brother will teach you."

*

To Song Shiyan, hate that lasted or love that lasted, none of it mattered anymore.

Youyou said she loved her big brother most. Why didn't she love him anymore?

[They are not related by blood. They are not in a romantic relationship before adulthood. The blurb uses the heroine's childhood nickname.]

1. The older brother is seriously unwell, and his values may not be entirely sound. He's an obsessive sister-con type, with a little bit of wall-pinning, a breakup and reunion, a groveling arc, and the man gets put through the wringer.

2. At heart, the heroine doesn't suffer. Her lovesick older brother acts like her mother and father early on, then turns into a dog. He blames her for making him fall for her (in his opinion), saying she likes him (under duress) and then abandons him (that part is true).

3. The younger boyfriend is a misunderstanding. Both leads are sexually inexperienced, and this is their first love.

I'm terrible at writing blurbs, TT. I'll polish this more later!

I got a sudden urge to write about a rotten guy who's one person on the outside and another on the inside, but truly loves her, ovo.
