Going Viral on Variety Shows with My Top-Tier Star Brother Turned Cat

Gu Wanxing, a rich family's idle layabout, dreams one day that she's the cannon-fodder female supporting character in an entertainment-industry novel, and that her younger brother, Gu Yu, is a newly risen top-tier star.

In the novel, Gu Yu joins a family variety show, where he and an ordinary person are temporarily paired up as siblings.

While other families are full of sibling affection, these two are stiff and fake, the perfect negative example.

After the show, the ordinary woman paired with Gu Yu exposes him for throwing his weight around and giving her the cold shoulder.

With scandals following him everywhere, Gu Yu's company sues him for an astronomical penalty. A crazed fan breaks into his home and writes "Go die" beside his bed.

In the end, Gu Yu jumps off a rooftop and dies.

To change her younger brother's tragic fate, Gu Wanxing decides to join the variety show with him.

Who knew that Gu Yu had a shocking secret?

He can turn into a cat without warning.

If anyone finds out he can turn into a cat, he won't just have to leave showbiz. They might even cut him up for study on the spot.

Gu Wanxing: ...!!!

At first, no one has faith in this duo, and countless netizens even protest their appearance.

[Can you stop using your actual sister for publicity? Wouldn't it be better to stop throwing your weight around and acting like a cold, cool guy?]

[Help, is Gu Yu's sister going to be just as hard to deal with as he is? If she's also a spoiled princess, I'm really going to lose it!!]

Later...

The viewers are beside themselves: Why don't you just turn her down? Where's your cool-guy act? If Gu Wanxing told you to eat stinky tofu and luosifen, would you really eat them without batting an eye?!

Gu Yu not only does everything Gu Wanxing asks, he's also good at everything.

He can hold his own at a formal event and in the kitchen. He even made Gu Wanxing's evening gown himself!

Watching Gu Yu, his face still cool and distant, carefully straighten his sister's dress, the guests grow jealous: We were wrong to be so loud before. Could you make another fish with pickled cabbage today?

A hashtag shoots to the top of the trending list: Repost this Gu Wanxing. Can I get a nurturing big brother like him too?!

Rumor has it that Gu Wanxing is an unemployed layabout living off her parents, then her younger brother, making her the shame of the wealthy.

Who knew...

During their free time, Gu Wanxing takes Gu Yu to eat at an upscale private restaurant.

The head chef and owner: Actually, this restaurant was only able to keep operating because Miss Gu invested in it.

The show team joins forces with the most popular VR game company on the market to hold a battle royale competition.

The company's founder: If Miss Gu hadn't come through with an investment when we needed it, this game wouldn't exist today.

And the number of people she's helped is beyond counting. These days, they're all leaders in their industries, eager to do anything for her and make her happy.

A supermodel who rules the fashion world, a top director whose every production is a masterpiece, an award-winning actor who's won every honor...

In a panic, the director brings everyone to a private island owned by an ultra-luxury resort brand.

Surely this can't have anything to do with Gu Wanxing, can it?

Gu Wanxing: No...

Everyone breathes a sigh of relief. Finally, this one's not.

Gu Wanxing: ...Not just this island. I invested in all the islands in this area.

The guests: Sis, take us with you!

Netizens: You call this unemployed?!

#Repost this investment genius, and all your funds and stocks will soar!#

#Repost this rich and generous heiress, and kind people will help you too!!#

No matter what, just repost Gu Wanxing!

[Bonus Scene]

They say Gu Wanxing isn't just an investment genius. She also often finds cats on the show set.

Have ragdoll cats all become strays these days?

Gu Wanxing: ...Actually, this cat is Gu Yu. Do you believe me?

Everyone: Hahahahaha, you're so funny, sis! Hahahahaha!

Coming soon: I Found a Demon King and Brought Him Home [Ancient-to-Modern]

Rong Wei finds a husky.

More precisely, she is driving along as usual when a strange man suddenly falls from the sky and crashes into her windshield. She watches with her own eyes as he transforms from a man into a husky.

After he wakes up, Rong Wei learns that he's Xiu Yi, the Demon King who rules over the Three Realms and strikes terror into everyone's hearts.

The Demon King looks haughty. "How much? This venerable one will compensate you."

Rong Wei glances at her beat-up, secondhand little Alto and decides to take advantage of this Demon King who knows nothing about the modern world. "Thirty million!"

Xiu Yi: Hah, a mere thirty million... Once my powers recover, I can have as much as I want!

Xiu Yi needs time to regain his powers, so Rong Wei takes him in for the time being.

But she soon regrets it. The company she works for is about to go under, and now she has to support a husky who's useless except for eating a lot and looking cute!

Rong Wei: ...I'll go learn how to survive in the city as a homeless person first.

Until one day, Xiu Yi accidentally breaks one of her plates.

Rong Wei: As punishment, you're washing dishes today.

Xiu Yi is very reluctant. "I am the Demon King..."

Rong Wei: Even if you were God himself, you're washing the dishes today!

With his tail between his legs, Xiu Yi slinks off to wash the dishes, while Rong Wei secretly records a video of the husky doing the dishes and posts it online.

Who knew that overnight, the dishwashing husky would become the most popular fluffy star in the pet section?

People even send gifts: This little dog is so cute washing dishes! More, more!

Rong Wei silently looks at Xiu Yi.

Xiu Yi: Absolutely not!

Rong Wei: We can make money.

Xiu Yi: Still no!

Rong Wei: I want to eat meat, sob sob sob!

Xiu Yi: ...Just this once.

Rong Wei: Yay!

Even though this doesn't suit his noble status as the Demon King at all, seeing Rong Wei count her bank balance with a delighted smile, Xiu Yi still quietly films cute pet videos with her every day.

It's just that the netizens love him too much, and he has no choice but to make a few videos to satisfy their enthusiasm.

...It's absolutely not because Rong Wei's smile shines too brightly.

No one expected the videos to get more and more popular, with more and more private messages coming in.

Someone even invites Xiu Yi to join the entertainment industry and act in a movie as a dog.

Before the movie comes out: Huskies are dumb and mischievous. Can one really act well?

After the movie comes out: Sob, sob, where can I adopt such a cute and handsome husky?!

Looking at the huge increase in her bank balance, Rong Wei happily lies flat.

So! Many! Zeros!

Xiu Yi: See? I told you it'd be easy to support you!

Rong Wei grabs his ear. "Mm-hmm, good dog!"

Xiu Yi's ears turn red, and he squirms awkwardly. "...I'm not a dog. I'm a wolf!"
