Brother, Why Can’t You Love Me?

After waking from a nightmare, Chi Yu suddenly remembers that he and his younger brother, Jiang Ziyi, are nothing more than cannon fodder in an entertainment industry novel. In the original story, the brothers each fall for one half of the main couple, only to meet tragic ends. Chi Yu is disgraced, while Jiang Ziyi ultimately loses his life.

Determined to rewrite their fate, Chi Yu decides that the first step is to stop his brother from ever meeting the “culprit,” the protagonist shou. To derail the plot, he deliberately pulls the protagonist shou into a different reality show, The One They Hate Most, a chaotic variety show that forces pairs of celebrities rumored to be enemies to work together.

Chi Yu is convinced that changing the plot will change the ending.

But then… why is Jiang Ziyi on this show too?!

Treating every interaction like a battlefield, Chi Yu keeps a close watch on both his brother and the protagonist shou, terrified that history will repeat itself. Yet despite his constant vigilance, he never notices one crucial detail.

Jiang Ziyi’s eyes never once linger on the protagonist shou.

Instead, his gaze follows someone else through the crowd… carrying the very same wariness that fills Chi Yu’s own heart.

Shen Yan was once a legendary figure in the entertainment industry. He skyrocketed to fame, only to disappear overseas after getting into a highly publicized street fight with top idol Jiang Ziyi.

Now he’s back.

The internet immediately explodes,

Is he back to start another fight… or because he’s broke?

Shen Yan: “Thanks for asking. Neither. I’m back to pursue my brother.”

Everyone: “???”

Love at first sight?

Shen Yan smiles.

“I’ve had a crush on him for years.”

Meanwhile, a certain brother-obsessed sibling, who has known the truth all along, is on the verge of losing his mind:

“Get lost! That’s my brother! Don’t you have your own brother? Why are you trying to steal mine?!”
