[Pre-release: My Villainous Older Sister Is the Top-Tier Star's Sister is now open for collection. Please add it to your list, mwah! Blurb at the very bottom] [Blurb] The first time Lin Cangxing saw Li Sheng was at a college gala. The sight of him playing the violin beneath the spotlight was breathtaking at first glance. She couldn't help wanting to get closer to him. Li Sheng agreed to be with Lin Cangxing, but he refused to make their relationship public. He didn't even show up for her birthday. Only later did Lin Cangxing realize that while she had been waiting for Li Sheng to arrive on her birthday, Li Sheng had been waiting for his first love. That day, his first love smiled at Lin Cangxing. "Have you noticed? Don't we look kind of alike?" "But I'm back now. He doesn't need you anymore." "He needs me, and so does the Li family." - Li Sheng stared at his phone all night. Lin Cangxing, who usually messaged him first, had gone completely silent. He started to panic and, for the first time, sent her a message himself: "Lin Cangxing, you won't leave me, will you?" Lin Cangxing didn't reply. Calmly, she packed up all of Li Sheng's things and carried them downstairs. When she saw a man's back, she hurled the whole bundle at him. The man in front turned around... His face looked a lot like Li Sheng's, but was colder and more carefree. Lin Cangxing froze. Then she spotted the faint tattoo disappearing beneath his collar at the back of his neck. It was exactly like the one she'd seen on the person playing the violin beneath the spotlight at the college gala. Looking closely, there were indeed some differences between him and Li Sheng. His features were more striking, and his presence was even more exceptional. Only then did Lin Cangxing remember that Li Sheng seemed to have a younger brother named Li Song. Having hit the wrong person, Lin Cangxing hunched her shoulders and tried to slip away. Li Song glanced at her lazily and suddenly said, "You threw that at me. Aren't you going to take responsibility?" She would never know why he happened to be downstairs that day. And it was only later that she learned that he was the true heir to the Li family. #Had I been chasing the wrong guy all these years?? #Oh no, this one seems like the real big shot. I can't afford to offend him. I need to run. [Pre-release] My Villainous Older Sister Is the Top-Tier Star's Sister Jiang Tang transmigrates into a book as the older sister of a wealthy villain. In the original story, the older sister hated her younger brother Jiang Che from childhood. She even helped his rival, ultimately ruining his career in showbiz. But after transmigrating into the book, Jiang Tang... After becoming a rich woman, she feels refreshed and sees everything in a much kinder light. She and her younger brother don't get along? No big deal. She's rich. She can move into a huge house, with eight male models downstairs and a cool, handsome guy living across the hall. One day, Jiang Che, a top-tier star who's famous for all the wrong reasons, appears on a family variety show and bluntly says that his sister is the person he's least close to in his family. But when the show airs, Jiang Che looks at the empty mansion and turns away, his eyes slightly red. "My parents are usually away, and now my sister has moved out too." Watching the clip, Jiang Tang suddenly feels a little guilty. On the show, her brother's rival invites a friend from the research institute to help with a task, earning everyone's praise and envy. Meanwhile, Jiang Che gets mocked for being antisocial and having no friends. Thinking of all the awful things his older sister did before, Jiang Tang wants to make it up to him. She volunteers, "You just need a friend from the research institute? Leave it to your big sister!" Jiang Tang had heard that her neighbor across the hall, Shen Wennian, was a big shot at the research institute. In the middle of the night, Jiang Tang knocks on her neighbor's door. Shen Wennian looks down at her and says coolly, "Changed guys again?" "Sorry, I'm not a male model. I don't offer special services." Jiang Tang is stunned. "??" What special services? Wait, the one who came last time was her younger brother, and the time before that was a friend who helped fix her computer! On the next episode of the show, just as her brother's rival is once again bragging about his friend from the research institute, that friend spots the person behind Jiang Che and hurries over, respectfully addressing him: "Boss." While his rival stares in disbelief, viewers in the comments also notice. The person standing behind Jiang Che is none other than Shen Wennian, the rarely seen big shot from the research institute! Jiang Che introduces him to the camera: "My brother-in-law." A moment later, he adds awkwardly, "But I haven't approved yet." [Pre-release] A Secret Embrace The day before the school break, Lin Xiaoyuan works up the courage to hand a love letter to the class monitor. But she catches him bowing his head and taking her older sister's hand as if it were precious. So even someone as aloof as him had someone he cared about. Lin Xiaoyuan instinctively tries to avoid them. By chance, she sees her older sister lift her chin at her smugly. Her mother's words suddenly come back to her. "Everything in this family belongs to your older sister. Don't even think about it." She turns and runs, trembling as she tears up the letter damp with sweat from her hands. To her astonishment, she discovers... The envelope doesn't contain a love letter at all. It's the demerit slip she was supposed to give Su Chi, the school bully! Then what did she hastily leave on Su Chi's desk after school?! - After the break, Lin Xiaoyuan no longer pauses by the class monitor's seat. She no longer brings him milk like she used to, either. Lin Xiaoyuan doesn't notice the class monitor's gaze falter for a second. Remembering that Su Chi's mother, a member of the school board, had asked her as vice class monitor to "keep an eye on Su Chi," Lin Xiaoyuan turns and asks if he'd like the extra milk. "Only kids drink this stuff. I told you to stop meddling." Su Chi, sitting behind her, turns his face away in disdain, but the tips of his ears suspiciously start to redden. - Graduation gala. Lin Xiaoyuan takes the stage to speak as an outstanding graduate. Seeing her excellent daughter no longer care about her, Lin Xiaoyuan's mother looks at her older sister, who failed her exams, and regrets it. She is about to go over and show Lin Xiaoyuan some concern, but the crowd surrounding her with flowers has already pushed her away. In the middle of the crowd, the school bully from No. 1 High School holds an acceptance letter identical to Lin Xiaoyuan's. Turning his head away awkwardly, he asks, "You're really not going to look after me anymore?" Lin Xiaoyuan: "??" Lin Xiaoyuan says in surprise, "Your mom said I only had to look after you until graduation." Theme: Always look ahead.
