The eldest brother has a three major secrets starting from the day of his biological mother's death, each more shocking than the other. The first I guessed very early on, but the other two surprised me.

1. That day was the death of both his biological parents; his mother cheated and he was a bastard child.
2. Not only did he witness his parents die in front of him when he was only 5 y/o, he was a direct cause of their death when he overturned a candle during his shock after finding out the truth.
3. He not only became estranged from the Wu family due to his uncles instigation, he also poisoned Wu Li in the womb when he was only 8 y/o.

I had suspected that Wu Sen was not the biological child (correct) and that the Wang family had killed his mother and told the traumatised child that she was killed by his father (wrong). I was completely shocked by the additional poisoning plot.

The guilt from these actions he took at a young age, the repressed desire to be the Wu family's real child, and further brainwashing by his uncle's twisted him into something even he didn't recognise.

I found his ending really sad. Everyone in the family understood his final struggles, but he had completely given up any chance of forgiveness when he arranged the car accident. He was well aware that his brother wasn't trying to compete with him at all. He just couldn't give up the paranoia tied to his empty dream. He was self-destructing before the story even started. It's just a pity that the Wu family's intervention after the initial incident (psychological counselling) just wasn't effective enough and that

Wu Sen didn't open up to the ones that obviously cared about him. In fact, their altruistic concern seemed to twist the knife even deeper since he believed their love was contingent on a blood relationship.

Last extra summary: Vice-Boss Qin finally gets to meet his in-laws, only for this Earth to also usher in an apocalypse. (Implied outcome; Author leaves it unknown if it is a zombie apocalypse, zerg, some free minerals with low risk, or a complete wipe-out. It's even unknown if the MCs will survive the event.) One second everyone is smiling for the happy ending and then the troll author adds in the final twist:

"It feels good to be reunited as a family, and I*

hope the warmth and happiness of this moment can stay in my heart forever.

In the dark and distant universe, a huge black meteorite flew straight to the earth..."

The END

*Second Young Master / Rich Second Generation / MC

Tbh, I can get over the straight shou (in this story it was more of a tsundere scenario). However, the racism was quite blatant and M country (aka America) shutting down the internet for any reason, let alone to control gossip, seemed quite out of place. The parallel world started with China as the prominent power, although with no Pinyin, which was actually kind of interesting. The MC makes sure that China is also emerging as the major power (even risking war during one scene where multiple countries put their larger munitions on standby) in his original world as well by the end of the story.

I won't even get into descriptions of the stereotypical behaviour of the 'yellow haired' Europeans and the eventual justified exploitation of their remaining population. I do appreciate that the author didn't shy away from acknowledging the MCs' less beautiful behaviours including a section where it's shown that future generations consider him to be quite controversial due to said exploitation. In conclusion, the MC had more than enough logical reason for his behaviour to make sense in the context of the story. It's just unfortunate that the author is slightly xenophobic and patriotic and set up the story with some, perhaps unintentional, biases. It may have also been intentional in a way considering how mild it was compared to some other stories. The author can simultaneously have a character that is realistically from China (by including this 'flaw') while also making said character sympathetic to current civilians and conforming to the ideals (other than BL) of the river crabs.

The ending tho, ghad, I have already foreshadowed while reading in the middle of the story that the apocalypse will also happen in the protagonist's world. Didn't expect an incoming meteorite will come. Hoping for a second season, I guess?

okay spoiler. Wu li ended up with tong huang. That old cow eating young grass. I cant why (ToT). I always visualize that guy as a bald old man with long white beard. Next is it seems that apocalypse will happened in their world too.
