Yan Jiaxin opened her eyes and found herself back in her original world, having returned from a cultivation world.
The good news: her younger brother was alive, and had already become a top-tier star beloved by half the country.
The bad news, part one: this was a feel-good entertainment-industry novel, and her brother was the comparison point.
On a family variety show, the heroine and her brother were gentle and considerate, getting along wonderfully. Meanwhile, her brother was harassed by obsessive fans and oppressed by his company, so he was irritable and obnoxious on the show. His popularity plummeted, and he left the industry in misery, saddled with a massive contract penalty.
The bad news, part two: the heroine had a luck System and had been stealing her brother's good fortune all along.
Yan Jiaxin: ?! And I'm supposed to put up with that?
News that top-tier star Yan Jiaxu would appear on a family variety show with his older sister brought his haters swarming out of the woodwork.
Hater No. 1: Yan Jiaxu has a sister? Never heard of her. Is she ugly and short, so he doesn't want to show her off?
Hater No. 2: With Yan Jiaxu's temper, they'll probably get into a fight on the show, right?
Hater No. 3: A family variety show? Have they lost their minds? What normal person could put up with that rabid dog Yan Jiaxu?
After the show aired...
While exploring a haunted house, the heroine and her brother supported each other.
Yan Jiaxu was just about to step forward when Yan Jiaxin yanked him behind her.
Yan Jiaxin, expressionless: Stay behind me, you little weakling.
Viewers: Damn, that sister makes me feel so safe!
During a countryside cookout, the heroine washed her hands and cooked for her brother.
Yan Jiaxin set the pot, knife, and cutting board they'd won in the games in front of Yan Jiaxu. "Same as always. You're in charge."
As he cooked, Yan Jiaxu grumbled, "Hmph, if you keep acting like that, you'll never get married... I guess I'll just have to put up with you and take you in."
While running his mouth, Yan Jiaxu whipped up a feast that looked, smelled, and tasted like it came from a five-star hotel.
Viewers: What? Yan Jiaxu can cook like that?
Before their skydive, the heroine and her brother stood with tears in their eyes, as if saying goodbye forever.
Yan Jiaxu: I'll go first! In our next lives, I'll be your big brother and protect you!
Yan Jiaxin raised an eyebrow and jumped straight down, the corners of her mouth lifting in the wind.
Forget that. I'll just keep being your big sister in our next life.
Viewers: Aaaaaa, what is this heavenly sibling bond!
As for the people they encountered on the show...
"Girl, run! Your fiance secretly got married! You're the other woman!"
"There's a woman who died horribly behind you. She's been haunting you, trying to clear her name. That's why you have nightmares every night."
Bigwigs from every corner came calling on the variety show, all just hoping Yan Jiaxin would read their fortunes!
Before long, Yan Jiaxin and her brother had outshone the heroine and her brother, becoming the most popular sibling duo of the year! Yan Jiaxin was practically drowning in work offers!
Yan Jiaxin, buried under a mountain of work offers: Wait! How did I get even more popular than my top-tier star brother?
