Chapter 1: What to Do When My Brother Is Too Popular?
【Select Your Poison: Bad Man Warning!! High concentration of psychopaths, a heroine who loves handsome faces, and readers do not have a complete “God’s eye” view. It is recommended to read the author’s note in the first chapter.】
【No female rivalry, but contains a massive amount of male competition. The male leads will constantly frame each other with absolutely no bottom line. The early stages contain suspenseful foreshadowing and plot locks; things will become clearer as you read on. The only angst for the female lead in the entire text is two chapters regarding the family arc; feel free to skip if you dislike it.】
In the dim and gloomy operating room, the pungent smell of disinfectant permeated the air, accompanied only by a bone-chilling silence.
The glaring incandescent light cast mottled, distorted shadows.
A syringe filled with transparent liquid pierced the woman’s skin, handled deftly by hands clad in medical gloves.
“How is she?” A deep, pleasant male voice asked.
“Near-death state. Currently, her heart rate is extremely low, and the drop in blood oxygen saturation has caused respiratory failure.”
“The epidermis is preserved very well. She will look perfect when done. I will preserve the best texture for you to the greatest extent.”
The man, who looked like a medical professional, was doing things no human should ever do.
He gently inspected the girl’s skin, ensuring she was flawless.
“She will be the most perfect work of art.”
The girl’s long brown hair cascaded over her shoulders like a waterfall, spreading chaotically across the pristine white operating table.
Strands of hair intertwined, resting against her fair cheeks and winding messily down her snow-white arms, finally drooping off the edge of the table.
Everything was filled with a grotesque beauty on the verge of withering.
The girl was ruthlessly strapped to the cold operating table. Even as she was about to perish, she remained dazzlingly beautiful.
The man’s gaze was fixed dead on her. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed, seemingly with a sense of urgency. The corners of his eyes were flushed with an abnormal redness, like a fire ignited by desire.
“My Xiao Yi, why?”
“Why can’t you realize how much I love you? Why did you have to leave me?”
His large hand, with well-defined knuckles and thin calluses, caressed her pale, soft face. His movements were filled with an unspeakable attachment and lingering affection.
“Why do your eyes always only see that little beast…”
Ruan Yi knew she was dying. The tinnitus caused by her near-death state made it impossible for her to hear anything clearly.
“You will forever…”
Stay by my side. You can never escape again.
Ruan Yi slowly lost her sensory abilities. She didn’t know what was happening, or even who wanted to kill her.
On the electrocardiogram monitor, the faintly undulating green lines suddenly turned into a straight line. The instrument emitted a piercing sound, sharp and shrill, echoing madly in the silent space.
Ruan Yi was truly dead.
As the eldest daughter of the Ruan family, Ruan Yi had been the “perfect child” everyone compared their kids to since childhood. She had good grades, was generous and poised, and possessed beauty she was proud of.
How did it turn out like this?
Her life script, which should have been smooth sailing, had uncontrollably become stained with puddle after puddle of pitch-black, viscous filth.
Did it start when her younger brother appeared?
No.
Ah Zhi was very considerate and clingy. Ruan Yi liked this brother, and she was happy to be a good sister.
That was until her stable life suddenly shattered.
Time and again, Ruan Yi noticed that her nemesis—her fiancé—took extra care of her brother.
Her steady and refined stepfather lurked in the shadows, coveting her brother like a ghost.
In the corner, her slender hand gripped a vase, trembling incessantly, before she used all her strength to smash it against the man’s head.
“Ah Zhi!” Ruan Yi supported her brother’s body, which was trembling in pain from being drugged.
Her mother overturned the metal tray, and torn pieces of psychiatric medical records fluttered in the air like snow.
When the nurses rushed forward, she was slamming her head against the wall, her fingernails digging deep into the surface. Her pupils surged with muddy agony until the sharp needle of a sedative pierced her neck.
Tears, large drops of tears, slid down her face.
Her brain was in chaos. Memories from her life were a tangled mess, shattering into thousands of fragments like a broken mirror, then merging and mixing in a bizarre way.
Forming a void, a hallucination.
Dense, scarlet text emerged in the darkness of the void.
[The vicious female supporting character is finally dead! So satisfying! Wishing for the female supporting character’s mom to go offline too!]
[The annoying vicious female support just gets jealous that our Shou-baby is loved by the male leads!]
[The little Shou is about to be imprisoned by the male leads soon! Getting broken and whatnot~ So exciting!]
[Good riddance! Finally entering the main story! The hubbies are finally going to get some meat, hahahaha!]
[This kind of story where a stunning straight man gets forced into love by a group of Gongs is the most thrilling, ahhh!]
[Buy stocks, buy stocks! Daddy is the tastiest!]
[I support President Shen~ The bad sister’s fiancé. Immoral literature is the most delicious!]
[Eh, why is Shou-baby here? He should clearly be…]
[Ah—]
The scarlet text vanished in an instant.
What terrifying, bizarre words.
Gu Zhi was a very considerate brother. He was happy about getting into Ruan Yi’s university because he could stay by his sister’s side.
He had even said he wanted to get a girlfriend in college. He clearly looked so straight that he couldn’t be straighter.
A novel? This world is a novel? Ruan Yi felt she must have read too many novels and gone crazy.
The world Ruan Yi had lived in for so many years was fake.
Judging from those barrage comments floating in the void just now, this seemed to be a BL, 1-vs-N, unfinished forced-love novel.
Gu Zhi is the protagonist shou?
Being forcibly humiliated and bent by multiple protagonist gongs, and she was the one constantly interfering with the plot development—the vicious female supporting character?
Could it be that in her case, the book’s title was What to Do When My Brother Is Too Popular?
Was this retribution for reading too many novels in the past and writing long essays roasting the plots?
Even the gender of this vicious supporting character was wrong… These goddamn people, isn’t it enough to write about women fighting women?
Absurd. A bunch of scumbags forcing her brother, doing so many horrible things, and this was actually called love?
Now it was great. Ruan Yi was dead. No one would hinder the plot’s development anymore.
And no one could save Gu Zhi.
Or perhaps, did he really not need her?
The little girl who thought herself kind turned out to be a vicious villain role in the end? So aggrieved. She wanted to cry…
Beautiful amber eyes suddenly snapped open, and long eyelashes trembled a few times.
Ruan Yi woke up. The environment was familiar; it was the school infirmary. Outside the window, the scorching sun was shining. The air conditioning was on inside, keeping the temperature comfortable. The boy lying by the bed slowly looked up.
“Sister.”
Under the sunlight, Gu Zhi’s soft hair glowed with a faint golden luster. His eyes still held the innocence and daze of someone who had just woken up.
He blinked, trying to dispel his sleepiness. His good-looking features possessed a budding handsomeness that didn’t match his age.
Gu Zhi swayed slightly, leaned forward to grab Ruan Yi’s waist, and buried his face directly into her embrace.
She could feel the boy’s high nose bridge pressing against her soft abdomen, poking her until it felt a bit itchy.
The boy’s pleasant voice came muffled from her arms. “Sister, you suddenly fainted from heatstroke. You scared me.”
She was really reborn. If she remembered correctly, today was the junior year sports meet.
Only, she had fainted from heatstroke before she even took the field.
This moment was the beginning of everything.
