Liu Xinyu was born into a prominent family, was exceptionally well-read, and had everything going for her.
Her younger brother, Liu Huaijue, was a top-tier star whom netizens both loved and hated, thanks to his breathtakingly handsome face and his sharp, defiant temper.
One day, she discovered that she and her brother were living inside a book, where her brother was a disposable foil character.
After appearing on a variety show with his fake sister, he acted like a diva and refused to follow the script. The whole internet turned against him, his acting career plummeted, and he soon died of depression.
Meanwhile, the protagonists, a brother and sister who treated each other with loving respect, won the adoration of the entire internet and rose to the top.
Thinking of the fate awaiting her lively little brother, Liu Xinyu, who only wanted to keep a low profile and focus on her career: ...

Top-tier star Liu Huaijue announced that he would appear with his older sister on Dear Family. The news set the internet abuzz.
[I'd never heard he had a sister. Where'd they hire her from?]
[Liu Huaijue has a terrible temper and always looks pissed. No need to see the sister, she's obviously just there to suck up to her brother.]
On the first day of filming, Liu Xinyu appeared in a flowing white dress, looking like a fairy.
Liu Huaijue looked handsome in his suit, striding forward with his eyes fixed ahead.
Liu Xinyu suddenly turned around and smacked her brother on the head. "I told you to watch where you're walking. You stepped on my dress."
Liu Huaijue, who usually looked down his nose at everyone, said nothing and obediently bent down to straighten his sister's hem.
Netizens looked at their two strikingly similar, breathtakingly beautiful faces. There's no way they're not real siblings.
During a day of vlog filming, the lead siblings spent the whole time yielding to each other, so harmonious and polite they seemed like roommates sharing a rental.
Seeing her brother still sprawled in bed, Liu Xinyu didn't say a word. She threw off his covers, pulled open the curtains, turned on the speakers, and started the music, all in one smooth motion.
Liu Huaijue tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. A tuft of bedhead sprang up as he sat up, and with an exasperated roar, he obediently went to make breakfast.
Netizens: I've learned something. This is the right way to get your little brother out of bed.
Liu Huaijue's reputation made a stunning turnaround. Just when netizens thought this was as meek as he could get, he kept surprising them:
# During a rural-life experience, Liu Huaijue swung a hoe and worked hard in the fields while his sister rested under a tree, fanning herself.
# In the 108-challenge contest, the usually arrogant Liu Huaijue watched Liu Xinyu answer every question fluently and said, "I'll go with my sister's decision."
# During the wishing-well segment, he used his precious wish for his sister: I wish my sister would find a good match soon.
Netizens' hot take: Just marry his sister off and he can turn around his place at the bottom of the family hierarchy.

No one could have imagined that Liu Huaijue's wish would work so well.
On an agricultural-support variety show, his rival Cheng Yunchi suddenly showed up as a guest and stuck close to Liu Xinyu, a professor at an agricultural university, calling her "big sis" every other word.
The straightforward Liu Huaijue warned him, "I'm telling you, stay away from my sister. She's got only one little brother, and that's me."
Cheng Yunchi replied, "That's fine. I'll work hard to become your brother-in-law."
Without a second thought, Liu Huaijue said, "No way. You're as dumb as I am. You'll mess up our family's genes."
Netizens: Is this one of those cases where you hurt the enemy by eight hundred, but yourself by a thousand?
