The Ultimate Idol, but with One-Sided Love [Entertainment Industry]

◎ A dazzling, spoiled, sickly princess on the receiving end, and a powerful older-brother figure on the giving end ◎ A battle royale for everyone’s affection, with debut training and dog-training both on the agenda Treating the receiver like a girl / treating the receiver like a cat Yan Xiyin has liked many people. But never for more than a month. His feelings are sincere when he falls for someone, but the moment they return his affection, his fondness turns to disgust. It’s commonly known as lithromanticism. ** He joined a talent show and found someone new to like. But he kept himself in check and put his career first. Unfortunately, he’s so popular that there’s a love triangle wherever he goes. The viewers love every minute of it. [Practiced alone in the same room as my little sister from morning till night, and he’s happy again, bro./] [Straightened my mom’s belt for her, and he’s secretly thrilled again, stepdad.] [Fine, I’ll admit it. I’m not a CP fan, I’m a Yan Xiyin stan. I can wear whichever of my hundred costumes I want, and every pairing’s sweet moments with the princess belong to me. Shipping the princess has defined my whole life.] ** But when it came time to debut, Yan Xiyin realized he’d liked the same person for over a hundred days, far longer than a month. This person had never once returned his feelings. It was as if they existed solely to indulge his tendency toward lithromanticism. And yet... One day, the other person said: “I’ve belonged to you for fifteen years.” “How could I not like you? Yan Xiyin, I know nine out of every ten things you say are lies. I know you play with people’s hearts like it’s a game, and that you change men as often as you change clothes. But I still love you hopelessly.” It turned out he’d been planning this for a long time, fighting desperately to keep himself in check. ** That long love story ended there, and Yan Xiyin went home to find his childhood friend, his older brother. After a wild night together, Yan Xiyin rested his head on his brother’s arm and sighed, “Why can’t anyone resist falling for me? All they have to do is let me be the one who likes them.” His brother leaned down and kissed the corner of his mouth, teasing him for a long while before finally giving in. “Why not try liking me?” Yan Xiyin gazed at him, his eyes misty with tears, as though full of affection. He gave it serious thought for a long time, then finally said, “But, big brother...” There was a hint of regret in his voice. “I don’t feel that way about you.” ** You little brat. Just a moment ago, you were crying and calling me hubby, saying you loved me. ◎ Older partner and younger partner, raised together; physical first, feelings later, and big brother becomes husband ◎ The giver is chaste; eight-year age gap “Big brother” is just what they call him. Both the giver and receiver have their own families [The receiver is an expert at training dogs and never acts pathetic when he likes someone.] [The competition format and events are inspired by existing talent shows and serve only as background. The characters are not based on real people.] [His older brother matters more to the receiver than any of his boyfriends.] [The receiver ends up with his older brother, but the brother won’t have much screen time. The story will mainly focus on the talent show’s love-triangle drama.] Theme: Idols should shine brightly.
