- Forthcoming sister-brother variety show novel: The Young Miss Takes Her Biological Younger Brother on a Variety Show to Pretend to Be Poor

Chu Yu suddenly has a strange dream. As details from the dream gradually come true before her eyes, she realizes that she is in a novel, and that she is nothing more than a cannon-fodder supporting female character.

In the novel, the heroine becomes an overnight sensation on a variety show thanks to her touching interactions with her younger brother, winning the love of fans across the internet.

Meanwhile, Chu Yu and her rebellious younger brother, whose relationship is terrible, become a stark contrast to the heroine and her brother, and are mocked by the audience.

Chu Yu lets out a cold laugh.

So they've cast her as a cannon-fodder supporting female character? Just wait and see.

On the variety show, it's time for the siblings to exchange gifts.

The original heroine and her younger brother share a heartfelt moment, exchanging handmade gifts and moving everyone on the production crew.

Chu Yu glances at her younger brother, Chu Chen. "Don't pull any of that fake sentimental stuff on me. I don't want some cheap gift."

Chu Chen: "..."

Stung by her words, Chu Chen grandly whips out a luxury handbag worth a million yuan. "Is this enough? If it isn't, I'll take you shopping for more!"

The audience is stung too. "That's more than enough! I'd be happy with just one of those!"

Next is the siblings' wilderness camping segment.

The original heroine and her brother cheer each other on and work together to pitch a tent, exhausting themselves in the process.

Chu Yu and her younger brother lounge around like a pair of pampered masters, each sprawled off to one side, neither willing to lift a finger first.

As night approaches, Chu Yu finally glances at her useless brother. "That's it? You can't even pitch a tent?"

Chu Chen: "... Who says I can't?"

He hurriedly calls his rich second-generation friends to come help.

In the end, not only do all his rich friends show up, but so do a whole group of their employees, all eager to please. "Boss's sister, we'll take care of it."

The audience is green with envy and in tears. "Waaah, can I have a younger brother like that?"

Later, the siblings work together on a photo shoot.

Chu Yu, with a cold expression: "Just make me look good. My brother can look however."

Chu Chen shoots back, unconvinced: "Don't worry about my sister. Just make me look handsome."

The audience: "These two fake siblings are killing me, hahaha!"

Later on, Chu Yu and her brother keep appearing on variety shows and becoming hits. They successfully go into business together, leading their family company to new heights and becoming the most popular rich sibling duo.

"Rich siblings, the absolute best!"

"After watching the show, I want to beat up my own loser little brother."

"Waaah, I dream of having a younger brother who takes me shopping on a spree."

After Chu Yu becomes famous, it's revealed that her ex-boyfriend is actually Gu Jinhuai, a well-known young heir from the capital's elite circles. The news sparks heated discussion across the internet.

Chu Chen, now transformed into a sister-adoring fanatic, rolls up his sleeves and confronts Gu Jinhuai furiously, demanding:

"Tell me! My sister is so wonderful, so why did you break up with her?"

Gu Jinhuai says helplessly, "Your sister was the one who dumped me first."

Chu Chen plants his hands on his hips, looking proud. "Good for her! That's my sister!"

Gu Jinhuai, the hopeless romantic: "..."

The Young Miss Takes Her Biological Younger Brother on a Variety Show to Pretend to Be Poor

The wealthy young heiress Shi Lexi wakes up one morning and unexpectedly learns that she is actually a vicious supporting female character in a novel.

In the story's future, she flaunts her wealth nonstop on a variety show, relying on her rich family background. She draws the ire of viewers and netizens, gets showered with insults, and becomes the cannon-fodder contrast to the original heroine and her younger brother.

Meanwhile, the original heroine wins the sympathy of countless netizens and earns a tremendous amount of goodwill, rising to fame in the entertainment industry and going from an unknown newcomer to a hugely popular award-winning actress.

Having realized the truth early, Shi Lexi smiles. "Whatever. I'll pretend to be poor."

So, filming begins for the first episode of the siblings' variety show.

The production team tells three pairs of siblings to choose a mode of transportation and make their way to the filming lodge.

To save money, the original heroine and her brother choose to take the subway, earning widespread praise from viewers.

Shi Lexi says, "We'll take shared bikes, thanks."

Her younger brother, Shi Yanze, stares in disbelief. "What the heck?"

He's always had a chauffeur-driven car take him wherever he goes!

A few minutes later, the livestream shows the Shi siblings shrieking in panic as they ride shared bikes.

The younger brother, riding a bicycle for the first time in his life: ... I'm done.

The audience: "?"

What an unpretentious way to get around!

After finally reaching the filming lodge through countless hardships, Shi Yanze begs under his breath, "Sis, I was wrong. I'll study hard for my next exam, I promise. Please stop torturing me, okay?"

Shi Lexi lectures him sternly. "Being able to endure hardship is one of the most basic virtues a person can have. Got it?"

Shi Yanze's mouth twitches. "Got it."

The audience feels sorry for them. "Shi Lexi and her brother are so hardworking. You can tell their family wasn't well off when they were growing up. That's how they developed such a good habit of enduring hardship."

Later, Shi Lexi and her brother's hard life is witnessed by their parents: riding crowded buses, scrambling for supermarket sale items, and calculating every discount just to save three yuan.

The two parents exchange a look and fall silent.

Shi's mother asks, "We haven't gone bankrupt, have we? What's going on with Lexi and her brother?"

Shi's father looks grave. After thinking for a moment, he replies, "Maybe they're out of pocket money. I'll transfer a hundred million to them right now."

Shi Lexi, who inexplicably receives a hundred million: "?"

Before long, her childhood sweetheart and domineering CEO fiance also hears that Shi Lexi's family has "fallen on hard times" and calls to check on her. "I heard you took your brother on a variety show and rode crowded buses?"

Shi Lexi tries to save face. "... That's not true."

Her CEO fiance says, "I transferred a hundred million to your account. Let me know when you've spent it."

Shi Lexi, who inexplicably has another hundred million: "..."

Theme: Harmony at home brings success in everything.
