When people in the K-pop world heard the name Song Youyuan, they knew nothing about him. Seeing him debut with an excessively beautiful face, they instinctively assumed he was just a pretty face, until Song Youyuan opened his mouth...

"OMG, what is this heavenly voice?"

"I only stopped by, and now I'm a fan of this pair. Is that right?"

"I lasted zero seconds in the 'Listen to Song Youyuan sing without becoming a fan' challenge. Come give it a try too."

After crowds of passersby became fans, they were surprised to discover: wait, does this kid have a lot of skills?

Onstage, Song Youyuan picked up the microphone and launched into a clear, fluent rap. He even pulled off a Thomas flair with ease. Wait, are all his songs self-composed, too?

Aside from his astonishing talent, what left the public most dumbfounded was the swarm of older idol brothers surrounding him. Hey, isn't that a few too many?

#Our Yuanyuan, raised on meals from everyone

#Is South Korea's brother-collecting machine at it again today?

#You can casually toss a brick anywhere in Seoul and hit one of Song Youyuan's older brothers

Reading Guide:

1. A slow-paced, delicate, long-form story with a warm, coming-of-age feel and a very long timeline. It's a sweet and adorable story, not recommended for mean-spirited readers.

2. The male lead is a kind, innocent little Cupid, just a very cute boy. He's not the decisive, calculating, vengeance-seeking type found in power-trip stories. Don't read if that's not your thing.

3. This is fanfiction. Please don't conflate it with reality; it's for entertainment only. Apologies for any out-of-character portrayals.

4. The timeline and some events in this parallel world are jumbled. Please don't scrutinize them for accuracy.

5. Everyone has different tastes. Please respect others' reading preferences. Comments are welcome, and you're free to come and go, but please refrain from comments expressing a sexual interest in minors. Thank you for respecting this.

6. A few chapters contain emotionally painful scenes, noted in the chapter summaries. If you can't handle angst, please read with caution.

7. The protagonist's experiences before debut are somewhat turbulent. Chapters 122-123 are controversial, so here's an advance warning. If this bothers you, you can skip straight to the feel-good post-debut portion.

8. Some chapters have been revised. I am only responsible to readers who support the official version on Jinjiang. I take no responsibility for pirated copies.
