After being controlled by the plot for ten years, Gu Li unexpectedly awakened.
It turned out she was the main villain in a sweet romance novel.
Her fraternal twin siblings, Gu Xiao Chi and Gu Shuangling, were supporting characters destined to be cannon fodder. They were about to appear on a variety show as the contrast to the female lead and her younger brother, commit countless wicked deeds, and die at the hands of extreme haters.
The real female lead was Su Ruoyu, a poor student Gu Li had sponsored. On the show, her heartwarming sibling bond won her countless fans. She not only reached the peak of her career, but also married into a wealthy family and achieved a happy ending.
Gu Li pulled out a photo. You're telling me these two little rice balls, who call me "Big Sis" every other word, are going to be hated by the whole internet?
Fine. I'll invest in the show.

The lineup announcement for the variety show Sweet Bonds quickly topped the charts. Top-tier star singer Gu Xiao Chi and popular girl group leader Gu Shuangling were joining the show with their older sister.
The haters tore into them:
[I always wondered why those two Gu siblings were so annoying. Turns out they're from the same family. Their older sister? How could she be any good? Another rich brat everyone hates]
[Gu Xiao Chi and Gu Shuangling have a sister? Is she an actress hired by their company? The three of them don't even look close. Putting on an act is the worst]
But when the show began, the haters were promptly proven wrong.
Day 1
The show staff asked each group of guests to rate one another.
Gu Li opened the envelope: [I hate you! I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!!! Score: 8/10]
Gu Li smiled the smile of death.
That evening, Gu Shuangling snuck into Gu Li's room, pillow in hand.
"Since you hinted at it, I'll graciously keep you company while you sleep."
But she bumped right into Gu Xiao Chi...

Day 2
Gu Xiao Chi was furious because someone had taken the yogurt from the fridge.
Gu Li calmly said, "I took it. Got a problem?"
Gu Xiao Chi: "It's just one bottle of yogurt. I'll buy ten cases!!!"
"Brown-noser. She definitely won't like the flavor you buy. I'll get it."
"No way. Why should you buy it...&%6@#%"

Day N
Gu Li merely glanced at a puppy by the roadside, and the two of them immediately fought over who would take it home.
"If my sister didn't like you, I wouldn't take you home to share her affection."
"I'm warning you, dog. Don't cling to my sister when we get home!"
"She's only allowed to cling to me!"
"Get lost, Gu Xiao Chi! I'm the only one who gets to be my sister's little sidekick!"

As the show aired, public opinion about the two changed completely:
[Is this right? Why do Gu Xiao Chi and Gu Shuangling seem kind of cute the more I watch them...?]
[How bad can idiots who compete with a dog for affection really be? Hahaha]
[Am I the only one who wants a big sister like that? As long as you serve your household master well, she really showers you with money! The world's top supercars, the latest luxury bags from H, tutoring from top students at Qingbei... She's got everything]

Gu Li was not only voted the internet's "dream big sister." Popular young actress Su Ruoyu, the youngest Best Actor in history, a physics prodigy, and many others all competed to call her "Big Sis."
Gu Xiao Chi and Gu Shuangling: We'll show the whole world that no one can take the place of her household servants!

Gu Shuangling thought she was strong enough not to long for family affection anymore. But then one day, it seemed her older sister had come back.
"Shuangshuang, I'll always be here to support you."
"Shuangshuang, let's walk the road to stardom together!"
Gu Xiao Chi realized that ever since his older sister returned, he'd fallen back to being the family's "little brother" again.
"Can't be helped. There's a big and a little tyrant at home, and I can't afford to offend either of them!"

Blurb:
A certain famous divorce variety show put its cast lineup up for a public vote. The once-popular actress Chu Xi and Fu Shen, CEO of Yunsheng Group, the "couple who hate each other," took the top spot.
Rumor had it their relationship had fallen apart and they were about to divorce.
Rumor had it the two had once fought fiercely, and the next day President Fu showed up to work injured.
Rumor had it they'd lived apart for six months and each had found a new lover.
Chu Xi said that all of it was true.
Her husband, Fu Shen, was once at the top of A City's must-eat food list. Even though he was married and no longer young, he was still the national heartthrob constantly hounded by admirers.
Even harder for Chu Xi to tolerate was her husband's increasingly cold attitude.
She had to get divorced!
-
Fu Shen woke up one morning to discover he'd gone from being eighteen to being thirty-eight.
Good news: His longtime crush had become his wife.
Bad news: Their relationship had fallen apart, and they'd agreed to divorce after the variety show.
Fu Shen timidly raised his hand. "Um... I think this marriage can still be saved!"
Smack!
His fantasy was shattered by his wife's fragrant slap.
Chu Xi glared at him with wide, beautiful eyes and angrily scolded him. "Get away from me!"
Fu Shen caught her hand and pressed it to his other cheek. His puppy eyes burned with emotion. "Wifey, this side needs one too."
Thirty-eight-year-old Fu Shen discovered that his wife seemed to have another man on the side.
The guy was clingy and shameless, and he often left discreet, yet boastful, marks on Chu Xi.
Chu Xi seemed happier with him.
Fu Shen was so jealous he was going mad, but he still refused to ask for a divorce.
Even if he had to die, he would be the only one with the rightful title of Chu Xi's husband.

After the show aired, Chu Xi and Fu Shen's divorce fans eagerly awaited their separation, while haters checked in every day to post [Shen-Xi Couple Divorce Countdown].
Everyone waited and waited, but what they got was...
Fu Shen was overflowing with possessiveness, and the question he asked most every day was, "Where's my wife?"
Chu Xi was beautiful and difficult, treating Fu Shen like her personal servant.
And Fu Shen always wore a cold expression as he obeyed her every order.
Netizens: "Couple who hate each other" is kind of a ship, isn't it? Are we sure they're not a "couple in love"?
At the end of the show, the host asked Chu Xi if she still wanted a divorce.
Fu Shen, usually as steady as a rock, answered for her. He tugged pleadingly at the hem of her clothes.
"We're not getting divorced!"
