Shi Xia and her older brother Shi Dong have depended on each other since the deaths of their parents while they were young.  When Shi Dong mysteriously disappears without a trace, Shi Xia becomes worried and searches for him.  

In doing so, Shi Xia teleports to a strange Xianxia world, where she meets the handsome immortal Hou Chi.  Having been tricked by the leader of the demonic sect into believing that his cultivation has not improved because he does not understand the concept of guarding/protecting (“守護”), Hou Chi adopts the reluctant Shi Xia as his little sister.  

But when Shi Xia finds her older brother Shi Dong, she discovers that he is the leader of the demonic sect in this Xianxia universe to which they have teleported. As both Shi Dong and Hou Chi vie with each other to guard and protect their little sister, hilarity ensues.  

Especially because the clueless Hou Chi's feelings for Shi Xia are anything but brotherly...

First thoughts:

🐼: My Dear Brothers is cute with a capital "C"! Starring a fresh faced and rookie cast, this looks to be a parallel universe/time travel spin on Xianxia with a decidedly romcom focus.
