Gu Xi woke up to discover that her top-tier star, cool-and-arrogant younger brother, Gu Xingye, was actually the novel's number-one love-struck cannon fodder.
In the original story, Gu Xingye deleted all the women from his contacts for the female lead. On a dating reality show, he was uncooperative, scowled, and made cutting remarks to the other female contestants, earning himself the label of a misogynist celebrity.
To salvage his image, he joined a variety show for siblings halfway through. But he took the female lead's side without question, and the siblings started bickering and giving each other the silent treatment, even getting into a physical fight. That cemented his reputation as a misogynist, and the whole internet turned against him. In the end, he fell into depression and jumped to his death.
Gu Xi: ? I think I've forgotten how to read. Let me look again.
System: "Host, the plot can't be changed. Your brother is so deep in his love-struck ways that it's in his bones. The female lead points, and he jumps."
Gu Xi immediately called him. "I'm joining that sibling show with you."
A cold laugh came from the other end.
"No. Do you still think you can order me around for five dimes like some little kid?"
The System was just about to pity this delicate older sister, abandoned by her own brother,
when Gu Xi said, "Three, two..."
The cool, arrogant younger brother who'd been trying to play hard to get immediately panicked. "I'll join! I'll join, I'll join!!"
The System was baffled: ? Weren't we told his love-struck obsession was so extreme that he didn't care about his own family?
When people heard Gu Xingye was joining the show with his non-celebrity older sister, the internet let loose. These two would either have a sister who spoiled her brother rotten or constantly fight like cats and dogs. Either way, it'd be a great show!
A surprise interview revealed that
The short-tempered, misogynistic top-tier star stood in the corner with red eyes, holding a broom over his head as punishment and repeatedly saying, "I was wrong. I won't hang up on you again."
Meanwhile, his sister Gu Xi, with her delicate little-white-flower face, sat back with her legs crossed, leisurely sipping coffee.
Netizens: ? What a performance. Let's see how long these two can keep it up.
-
On the first day of filming,
A villain deliberately provoked Gu Xingye, who declared that he would never bow to anyone.
Gu Xi slapped him across the face.
Gu Xingye's foxlike eyes instantly turned into tear-filled, pitiful eyes. He stood behind her and apologized over and over.
Netizens, who'd been waiting to pounce: ...Is she taming her little brother or training a dog?
Gu Xi: He's just my little brother. I can handle him :D
The gift-giving segment
Gu Xingye was dressed head to toe in luxury brands, while Gu Xi wore plain clothes and carried just one bag.
Haters poured on the criticism: They make so much money, yet he won't buy his sister anything nice. What a stingy, heartless brat!
The sales associate asked respectfully, "Miss Gu, shall I put together men's outfits as usual?"
Gu Xingye looked immensely proud.
Netizens: ? The top-tier star is proud of wearing all counterfeits?
The haunted-house segment,
Gu Xingye confidently took the lead.
Halfway through, the other guests looked at Gu Xingye, who'd lost all composure and was hiding behind Gu Xi, and urged him to stand up straight and walk on his own.
Gu Xingye tried to sound calm. "No, my sister needs me!"
Netizens: ...You're the one who needs your sister, aren't you?
Seeing that Gu Xingye, whose good fortune she'd stolen, had returned to normal, the original female lead panicked and tried to brainwash him again.
Instead, Gu Xingye said, "I need to ask my sister first."
Original female lead: ...?
-
The original plot was incredibly powerful. After everything, Gu Xingye still joined the dating show, along with his sister.
The difference was,
he went from being a misogynistic celebrity to a misandrist celebrity.
"Get lost. Stay away from my sister!"
"You're not as handsome as me. Get lost!"
"So what if you're rich, handsome, considerate, a good cook, and devoted? I'm my sister's most loyal servant!! You can forget about taking my place!!!"
Reader's guide:
1. The younger brother is a well-behaved sister-complex. Both siblings have their own romantic pairings, and the sister and her actual romantic partner get along great! Don't get the wrong idea!! Even a love-struck guy deserves someone worth falling for!
2. A silly family-bond story. Come have some fun, and please add it to your collection~
3. The male lead appears later on.
