She didn't flinch, nor did she point out anything to correct; she simply looked him straight in the eye, her eyes revealing her undisguised affection for him.
"Your Majesty may know that I have a younger brother. I used to love him very much. In my mind, I hope that my younger brother is well-behaved and cute. He can also be a little mischievous and cause trouble occasionally, which is not a big deal."
"After my parents passed away, I took on the responsibility of supporting the family. I didn't care about the hardships I faced or what storms I had to weather. I felt that as long as my younger siblings grew up safely and had a smooth and healthy life, that was enough. With me protecting them, they didn't need to suffer the hardships I had endured."
"But it's obvious they've gone astray. Even wolves know how to repay kindness, but they're jackals who only know how to tear my flesh apart piece by piece."

If he becomes Shen Ning's younger brother, then Shen Ning will definitely love him the most, and Qin Zhuo will have to be relegated to the back.
(To put it simply: Li Yan may want romantic love, but more than that, he craves being uniquely loved. His sister's affection for him seems purer and deeper than romantic love. He's always been jealous of Qin Zhuo's mother's doting affection, so receiving love from his sister is more appealing to him than winning over the female lead. In short—he's a slightly love-starved and somewhat obsessive little brat.)
