He Is My Brother

Lin Xiaoman was adopted by the Gu family as a child, seeing her cold "brother" Gu Shiyan as her lifeline—until she was betrayed by her best friend, dumped by her boyfriend, and fired. Crouching on the street crying, the usually distant Gu Shiyan suddenly handed her a warm milk tea: "Xiaoman, I'm not your brother." It turns out Gu Shiyan is the "Xuan Yu Lord" from the immortal realm, sent to protect her via a system mission, hiding as her "brother" for ten years.

As Xiaoman watches the "brother" who once didn't know mobile payment, she realizes—those late-night blanket tucks, the panic of running in the rain for ginger tea—none of it was sibling love… When the "brother" mask falls, what's left is ten years of unspoken love, hidden in every gentle act.
