Lin Manman thinks her boss is the tragic second male lead in a novel. Even when he's exhausted enough to be hospitalized, he still works overtime like crazy to earn money and give it to the heroine. Though she already has feelings for someone else, she keeps stringing him along, waiting for him to pour his heart out so she can finally tell him, "I think of you as a big brother."
After transmigrating, Lin Manman discovers that she has become her boss's biological mother, and a drunk who clutches a bottle of liquor day in and day out.
Her future CEO boss is currently a lonely little cabbage, his heart broken by his mother, convinced that nobody loves him.
Lin Manman: Well, what else can I do? Raise him, I guess. Preventing the boss from growing up into a workaholic is every wage earner's destiny.
◆Coming soon: My Dark-and-Controversial Top-Tier Star Brother's Big Sister Is Back
Duan Yixin's parents divorced when she was young. She and her younger brother each went with one parent.
As they parted, she saw her teary-eyed little brother tugging at her clothes, and could only comfort him.
"Don't cry. Big Sis will come back to see you."
"Really?"
"Mm. But you have to promise Big Sis you'll be strong and live well. That way, Big Sis can come back to the country sooner."
Years later, Duan Yihan grew up to become a top-tier star in the Chinese entertainment industry.
Everything he did could set the trending topics on fire.
Meanwhile, Duan Yixin, far away overseas, broke her promise because of her health. She never made it back to see Duan Yihan again, not even before she died.
Duan Yixin hadn't really had any regrets, until after her death she discovered the truth about this world: it was a novel, and her younger brother Duan Yihan was the beautiful, strong, yet tragic male supporting character in the heroine's harem drama.
Only then did she learn that although Duan Yihan was a top-tier star, he was a notorious top-tier star with antis everywhere. Nine out of ten comments insulted him, and the tenth person was busy liking and reposting the other nine.
You little brat, and you call that living well?
And those comments online, saying Duan Yihan bullied his bandmates and picked on rookies.
Bullying? Her stupid little brother? The Duan Yihan who, as a child, had all his snacks stolen by her and still asked through his tears if Big Sis liked them?
Later in the novel, Duan Yihan develops severe depression at a young age and dies after falling from a height, without even being allowed a shred of dignity in his final moments.
A mouthful of blood surges straight to her heart, and Duan Yixin is reborn.
The first thing she does is book a flight home.
At this point, Duan Yihan is about to appear on a sibling variety show. This is also the show where the whole internet turns against him, he is harassed by obsessive fans, and his mental health begins to suffer.
When Duan Yixin and Duan Yihan first appear on the show, online commenters say:
--Someone like Duan Yihan even gives his own big sister the cold shoulder. He's beyond saving.
--Did these siblings come here to get roasted?
Later:
--Wait, Duan Yihan isn't giving her the cold shoulder. I just saw him secretly wipe away a tear!
--Damn, who would've thought the cold top-tier star was actually a softie? Who can handle that kind of contrast?
Then the camera turns to Duan Yixin.
--Big Sis! Big Sis! Big Sis! Big Sis! Big Sis! Big Sis, you're killing me!!
Theme: A mother will always be a mother.
Manman, don't be fooled by him. I still hope that the two people can divorce first and then slowly develop a relationship. I don't want to see the heroine not divorce for the sake of the child. Strictly speaking, the child is not hers. She worked for him in her previous life, and she will have to sacrifice her right to pursue a new life for her in this life.
If it weren't for his father, his mother wouldn't have been able to block the knife, and Yu Jianli wouldn't have been in danger. He was such a shitty son.
Advantages: The plot does not drag on, and the supporting characters who should be cut off end neatly. Disadvantages: There is nothing impressive about it. The writing is very colloquial and mindless. It can be read without thinking to pass the time. It is not considered a masterpiece.
Did the filial son take action or did the old lady do it on purpose??
It can only be read as a mindless novel. The logic is not rigorous, and the supporting characters forcefully subdue their wits. But what is relatively novel is the self-involvement between the supporting characters. The male and female protagonists are not involved in the whole process.
Where did Yu Jianchen get his big face?
Let's write some extras and watch them. I want to see Yu Ci grow up in this life.
I thought that my aunt, like Su Yuanyuan, regarded this company as something in her pocket for profit. I didn't expect that this aunt really loved her sister, but she just felt sorry for her sister's son, and there was such a reversal.
Manman, don't be deceived by him.
A little sad, this is too short, not enough sugar?
