grandpa didn't accept mc's mom because she was poor and crawled her way up. she was really good at her job and married mc's father. she worked even harder even after she had 2 children bc everyone looked down on her thanks to grandpa. when they lost MC, grandpa was furious and blamed her, because she worked so hard she abandoned the children. oh this old slimy bastard. you f*cking think with your wrinkly toes why she had to work so hard. I also found it funny that he hated her but had no problems loving his grandsons. what's funnier? he was a poor villager who crawled his way up too and married a rich family's daughter. oh you hypocritical bastard. it's really not a loss if he died.

mc's aunt is... pragmatic in the most annoying way. she is a celebrity's manager, one of her stars was ml's ex-friend. ex-friend was in love with ML and had been persuaded by his father to expose ml's whereabouts that had almost lead to ml's death. ex-friend had been horrified and told ML the truth right away hence becoming ex-friend. when ml's family slandered him saying he was a white-eyed wolf for not appreciating his family's "grace and parenting", ex-friend stood up for him, revealing his role in the process. mc's aunt nagged him to death. saying he looked down on everything his staff had worked hard for. when ex-friend said he just couldn't let the victim be smeared like this, mc's aunt reminded him that this was pointless, ML had already married someone else. b*tch, maybe he just wanted to do the right thing?? have you ever thought of that? huh?? she only stopped nagging once there were people supporting ex-friend. sun baijiang my baby, I hope you can move on and find happiness.

One and the foremost that I can’t comprehend is how easy the adoptive father XCZ got away with everything. Yes he saved OG MC. Yes he might not be aware that OG MC is from rich family Xue. Yes that XCZ is having depression.

BUT! THAT DID NOT EXCUSE YOU TO TAKE SOMEONE CHILD FOR FFK 18 years!

AND! I hate how the author just erased the OG MC feeling. Normally in other novel, the MC will address something like

”I can’t say much because the real MC has gone.” Etc etc

but noooo — he decided that he had the right to forgive the adoptive father? Like, fine, it’s better than to be vengeful all the time, but this?!!

YES YOU ARE SELFISH OMFG (MC)

And also that last part with the villain who asked for the 5mn? Come one, stop being karma and such when you are not even in the f*cking jail. You could give the money and maybe ML’s arm would not be hit, you know. Unnecessary drama imo.

And for this kidnapping thing, the irony that the reason why biological parents “forgive” the adoptive father is cause they thought XW has grown cheerful and amazing person. If only they knew how adoptive father “killed” their own son in the first place until MC came.

So yes, doesn’t matter what, I’ll stand with what I said. MC is f*cking selfish. Dad is playing victim. There. Done

And, we have the MC who was so good in drawing but later on it was like ignored? Idk, I just feel like MC is bit Mary Sue. He can draw? He can design jewellery? Thankfully he’s not good with housework at first otherwise it will be weird.

despite saving MC at first, but he eventually kidnapped him. And then it just swept under the rug because he was lonely and ill? I mean yes, there's no use of holding grudges when it won't do any good to MC but it just left some bitter taste, I'm not relieved because the whole kidnapping situation was quite romantized. The dad who adopted MC pampered MC but he's so selfish, he knows that he has toxic relatives and he's not capable of protecting MC but he's delusional he's can provide MC a healthy environment to grow up with? OgMC literally grew up as a person with no self-esteem and easily manipulated by his uncle and cousin because his so-loving dad is foolish enough to be still connected with them despite of his relatives being shady. This is the reason why I only gave 4 instead of 5 because I'm unresolved for the ogMC, his dad knows he's not some abandoned child, has a family who worries for him, and that said family can actually provide a better future given that the kid wore some branded clothes and looked healthy, but the dad was really selfish, there's no other words. All these lead to ogmc's miserable end so I can't forgive the dad. It would've been better if he had realized his mistake first, actually had a plan to confess, and proactively told the MC the truth to ask for forgiveness, and atone, reflect but what do you expect? He's a coward, he just waited for mc's family to resolve it all which eventually force him to reveal the truth. It made me think that he's not actually remorseful, he's just sorry he got caught. I'm only sorry for the MC and his family especially the mom. The funny thing is that the villains didn't annoyed me this much lol

It's a "MC was taken/lost as a child and his biological parents are actually rich and want to recognize him" storyline. Maybe I missed some foreshadowing in the beginning of the story, but it threw me off because it seemed to come out of nowhere during the half way point of the story. I kind of wish that the MC did not recognize his biological family. They're nice and all but I just couldn't help but think: who cares? His adoptive dad raised him well he doesn't need two dads lol I cried because the MC and his adoptive dads relationships and the dad's health. Very bittersweet and very heartwarming.

You can tell where the plot is headed early on. Instead of building anticipation for it, several chapters got annoying instead because it was apparent the author wanted to brush off the kidnapping.

The initially poor childhood of the original MC was given rose-tinted glasses, focusing on how good and self-sacrificing xcz is at raising this child he had no rights to. Utter nonsense. None of the reasons or excuses written justifies knowingly taking a child and keeping him from his family for 18 years.
