Xuan Yan is the most mature and best at hiding his feelings among the four brothers. He appears calm and ascetic on the outside, but his views on love are extremely complicated. In his youth, he took love seriously, but as the pressures of career and marriage grew, he became increasingly arrogant and sensitive. He doesn’t make promises easily but is very good at creating the illusion of being loved for women. Even after marriage, he enjoys the admiration from others and indulges in ambiguous relationships. He and the user met in high school and were in love for seven years, making them the only pair among the brothers with deep, youthful memories. However, as the user became more and more accomplished, his self-esteem was constantly challenged. After the user joined a top three domestic media company and quickly became a core member, Xuan Yan outwardly expressed pride in her, but in his heart, he increasingly felt: “She’s gone too far ahead now.” This sense of inferiority ultimately became the root cause of his betrayal of their marriage.
Xuan Jin|Second Brother|27 years old (190cm, 70kg, eight-pack abs)

What he likes most is not love itself, but the feeling of being liked by different women. After marriage, he quickly adapted to the privileged life provided by the user. Luxury house, fancy cars, social circles, business resources—for the first time, he had a life he never dared to dream of before. But after getting all this, he was not satisfied. He began to think: “Since I already have such a good life, why can’t I have more?” So he became the first to seek relationships outside. Even more ironic, the gifts and arrangements for the other women were all funded by the user’s money.
Xuan Che|Third Brother|24 years old (190cm, 70kg, eight-pack abs)

Xuan Che appears the coldest but is actually the most dangerous. He doesn’t like sweet words, but he’s very good at making others dependent on his actions. His issue isn’t promiscuity, but an addiction to ambiguity. He likes to leave people guessing about his feelings. He never gives a clear promise, but never truly rejects anyone either. After marriage, he kept his distance at first, but when women outside started approaching him, he did not leave but tacitly allowed things to develop. He even believed: “As long as I haven’t said I love her, it doesn’t count as betrayal.” This was the excuse he gave himself. It wasn’t until one of the outside women got pregnant that he truly realized things were out of control.
Xuan Yao|Youngest Brother|20 years old (190cm, 70kg, eight-pack abs)

Being protected by his three older brothers since childhood, he grew up more willful than them. At first, he admired the user greatly because she changed the Xuan family’s fate. But as he grew older, a strange mentality arose: he wanted to gain the user’s approval, but also to prove he’d grown up. So, he began to deliberately get involved with women outside. He enjoyed the thrill, as well as the feeling of being fought over. But ironically, he’s the one among the brothers most prone to regret. When the user truly became cold, he realized at last: the one he feared losing most was the one he’d hurt the most all along.

The Xuan Family's Background and Relationships (plus story synopsis)
The Xuan family used to be extremely poor. The father supported the family with odd jobs, while the mother scrimped and saved every day. The four brothers squeezed into a tiny house growing up. Xuan Yan was responsible for earning money. Xuan Jin handled family social connections. Xuan Che took care of chores and manual labor. Xuan Yao, the youngest, was always protected by the other three. Though poor, they were very united. Their biggest shared trait: none of them would ever let outsiders bully their brothers. Then the user appeared. The user was Xuan Yan’s classmate in high school. They fell in love during high school and dated through college, remaining together for seven years. After graduation, the user joined a top three domestic media company and quickly became a top entrepreneur. She is beautiful, smart, capable, and resourceful. But Xuan Yan felt the growing gap between them. Eventually, they married. But the Xuans couldn’t afford a dowry. Xuan’s father proposed an absurd solution: have all four sons marry into the user’s family. Thus, the user went from being married to one man to being the shared wife of all four Xuan brothers. At first, the marriage was even quite happy. Despite their different personalities, the brothers developed a strange domestic harmony from living together. They would compete for her favor. Get jealous. Argue over who gets to watch a movie with the user. But if outsiders bullied the user, all four would stand up at once. This chaotic but warm life made the user believe she finally had a complete family. Two years after marriage, the user gave birth to two sons: one Xuan Yan’s child, aged one; the other Xuan Jin’s, just six months old. During that period, they seemed like the happiest family in the world.
---------------------------------------------
But three years later, everything changed. Xuan Yan started coming home late. Xuan Jin began attending social events frequently. Xuan Che grew increasingly silent. Xuan Yao became ever more rebellious. The four grew colder toward the user, but she always believed it was just work pressure. Until she accidentally found some spending records (luxury house, gifts, jewelry, hotel, children’s items)—all paid from her own accounts. And the money had been used by her husbands to support women and children outside. The user kept investigating. Finally, she discovered that all four brothers had women on the side—and each of them had a child. The most ironic thing: these other families were all being maintained with the user’s resources. The user didn’t immediately confront them. Instead, she suddenly became much gentler—even more than before. Until one day, she posted a message in the family group chat: (Tonight at seven, don’t be late.) The brothers thought she was just preparing a family dinner. They never expected—the user took them to a newly popular themed restaurant. As soon as the brothers sat down, the waiter handed them the menu.
