Xu Linlang is a hard-working trainee with no luck. One day, she suddenly dies in the practice room. When she opens her eyes again, she's transmigrated into a book as a universally hated, resource-backed celebrity with a top-tier star for an older brother. She's in the middle of threatening to kill herself.
In the original story, she is the biological younger sister of a top-tier male supporting character. She's spoiled and unprofessional, using her connections to fangirl over her brother's bandmates. She's also exposed for acting as a middleman, selling their contact details to other female idols.
As a result, she becomes "famous" the moment she debuts, with tens of millions of haters.
Netizens: This is hilarious. A walking scandal like her can debut? Can't wait to watch the show.
Her brother's fans: Get lost, you leech riding on his coattails!
Xu Linlang opens her eyes and sees the online backlash flooding in. She promptly tosses away the knife. Why would a young girl be so determined to throw her life away? Being famous for all the wrong reasons is still being famous!

To repair their reputations...
Xu Shao, a stunningly handsome man who can't sing or dance, has fans and antis in equal measure, both at top-tier levels.
He brings his scandal-ridden, resource-backed younger sister Xu Linlang onto a variety show with him.
The gossip-loving netizens laugh: Repair their reputations? The siblings are going to ruin them for good!
But once the show airs, everyone is stunned to discover that the singing and dancing talent his older brother lacks must have all gone to his younger sister. The girl who supposedly debuted after just two months of training turns out to be an all-around ACE.
Fans who admire talent are thrilled, but the old scandals hit them in the face again. They decide to watch the show and wait and see.
Then everyone gradually discovers something even stranger.
Her brother is a beautiful couch potato. His sister is just as beautiful, and yet she's a bona fide workaholic.
The production crew shows up for a surprise visit in the middle of the night, but neither sibling is in their bedroom.
After searching everywhere, they find Xu Linlang dragging her brother through practice in the rehearsal room.
Xu Shao is sprawled on the floor, drenched in sweat and gasping for breath, while Xu Linlang sternly lectures him: You're not going to bed until you nail the new song tonight.
Everyone stares in disbelief: Huh?
As the show wraps up,
Xu Linlang uses a two-month crash course at a devilishly intense training camp to make up for all her brother's shortcomings, all under everyone's watchful eyes. Along the way, she clears up every scandal with hard facts:
# She's not a resource-backed star. She got her sudden debut through her own skill.
# She used her connections to fangirl over her brother's bandmates? What's wrong with a little perk for his own sister!
+ Besides, career-focused Xu Linlang is the very definition of knowing where to draw the line.
# The person who sold the bandmates' contact details as a middleman was someone else. Their future is now ruined, and they've been banished to the sidelines.
Fans who once worried Xu Shao would drag the whole group down be like:
[Having a sister like her is your good fortune (hands pressed together)]
The gossip-loving bystanders, now completely won over, be like:
[Having Xu Linlang in the entertainment industry is a blessing (hands pressed together)]
Xu Shao, the couch potato who never saw any of this coming: I took my sister on a variety show, and now my fate's been completely turned around? My sister is the best! (thumbs up)

Xu Shao's friend and senior in the industry is a whole level above him, an indisputable top-tier star in film, television, and music.
Lately, that top-tier star has been pursuing his precious little sister, and Xu Shao's alarm bells are ringing.
Faced with the star's repeated advances...
Xu Linlang: I'm busy. Not interested. Senior, my career is taking off. Please keep your distance.
The senior star smiles: That's fine. I'll wait until you retire.
Xu Shao has just been reassured by his sister, but immediately jumps up again: What is that guy saying? Is he cursing my sister?
His own sister is the best! (thumbs up again), forever and always!
