I honestly don't see where you think it look somewhat in*est-like to you, but Daddy Qin is just old-fashioned. And he was closer to MC and love her more cuz :

1) MC's deliberate closeness with him at first worked so they're closer (doesn't mean he doesn't love the twin brother just stricter).

2) MC is a girl, a cute girl, soft voice, very smart, and good tempered - which means predators especially since she's from rich family. Nothing wrong being more protective of her compared to her brother.

3) The one who received most of the bullying at school was MC. If you read properly, the brother was still pretty well received in school cuz he's smart and handsome. Only MC alone was bullied, so of course daddy will be angry for MC.

4) Forgive Daddy Qin, he's never raised his children from childhood. When he met the children they're already pubescent teenager, and so his concern about puppy love might seem too much that you think he's too personally involved. But he's just a silly dad who loves his children and his concern is true. At least he would allow MC to fall in love (only with someone he agrees and for now there's only one candidate atm lol). Heck, he's just on newbie dad stimulant, it's normal to be acting protective like this.

Disclaimer: Rough translations (uh from my head/without checking the dictionary)

In one of the examples, the topic was ‘father’. The female lead has written ‘Daddy is very good. From what I see, he is gentle and very patient... Dad is amazing. he knows a lot of things and there seems to be nothing he can’t do. Or actually the only thing he’s not familiar in doing would be looking after us but he continues to learn. To be by Dad’s side should be something that I won’t regret. Long time ago, I wish my father would be very talented. But now, I just want him to be by my side forever.’

While for SXB, ‘To be honest, I’m not very familiar with my father. This person is strict, boring, always have a cold face and love to talk about the things he knows to us and tell us a bunch of theories... I often think why is he always initiating a fight with me?’ Although he has a lot of weaknesses, in general he’s a passable father. I hope that we can live together peacefully.’

Haha the teacher’s comments and question were the funniest!! The language teacher asked the form teacher, “Are you sure both of them are twins? And that they are of the same father?” While the comments on SXB question paper was, “The use of negative/opposite words to describe his own father, the examples are touching, interesting. It is sufficient to show that the relationship was pleasant and sweet, with conflicts and the counter examples.

Jian Shao Dong is a wonderful male lead. Very ideal I would say!! N super sweet. As I have mentioned before the romance in this novel between the female lead and JSD is very little like in the last few chapters I believe. The novel first describes the feeling and admiration JSD had before she realised her real identity. He admired the FL before he knew of her true identity and age from the various discussions and all. On one of the chapters, it was on the finals of the competition the FL joined, JSD found out that the FL was q. He was shocked but mainly he had to suppress his feelings for her because it’s a romantic relationship he couldn’t have. (Since it’s with someone who isn’t of legs age) That chapter described that his feelings developed from admired to liking Q and he was about to confess with the bracelet (if I remember correctly) after deliberating it got very long on his feelings. But once he knew that the person he love is actually someone this young he felt crushed. Hahah it described that he went to see his friend who is a psychiatrist. His friend joked and said why are u here? Are u planning to invest in my place? Then he’s like no I’m here to see a psychiatrist. Then the friend asked, “why?” The ml: “I fell in love with a girl.” The friend was like, “so? Is she married or something?” The male lead was like, “no. She isn’t of legal age. I feel like I’m a pe*vert.”
After that visit to his friend, he went there several times. In front of the female lead, he acted like a big brother and helped the female lead and SXB. They often hang out together. He had this feelings for 4 years (well since the novel skipped 4 years).

Confession: After 4 years, the female lead was in the first year of university or college in University B. The male lead often “coincidentally” saw the female lead outside the university and send her home and such. On one particular occasion, he saw the female lead and Yu Xiang Xiang (I cant rmb the name but SXB’s friend and he is the one that joined the same team as the FL and vvv, and 4v/vvvv’s brother). A boy came to confess to the female lead. YXX came to stop the boy and said ‘hey u can’t even see me next to her is it?’ Then the boy was like, “sorry sorry I didn’t know u had a boyfriend.” The boy walked away. After he left, YXX told the female lead, “he isnt even on par with me on looks yet he dares to ask you...” When JSD saw that, he felt that he couldn’t control his feelings. So he went to consult his friend again who became his ‘drinking partner’. His friend said, “This is an advice not coming from a psychiatrist but a friend. U should confess now after all she’s of legal age.” Then JSD felt motivated. He thought of it for the whole night on how he should confess. On the next day, JSD called the female lead but there weren’t any answers. After a few calls, the female lead’s friend picked up the phone and said that the female lead wasn’t by her side. He asked, “did something happened?” Then the FL’s friend said, “we met a car accident...” JSD, “where?!” The female lead’s friend, “yeah but” and JSD hung up and sped his car to the location. When he saw the female lead, he ran and hugged tightly. The FL was shocked since it’s the first time another guy hugged her other than Mr Qin and SXB. She explained that she was just there to help the people in the chain accident with calling the ambulance or moving them out of the vehicle. JSD felt more calm after hugging her. In between the FL looked at the friend questionably on whether she explained properly. The friend said that she was about to explain but it was cut off and she said she won’t disturb them and left leaving the FL and JSD. JSD said that she shouldn’t do this that makes him worry to death even more than anyone or anything else. The FL tried to lift the tense mood by saying, “Jian big brother are u exaggerating.” But JSD said, “if you need a reason. It’s because I like you.” The female lead was taken aback and tried to run. JSD held onto her wrist and said that he liked her for 4 years. In his head, he thought of even if the FL thinks he’s a pe*vert he will still tell her. The female lead said that she will think about it and left frantically.

hahah in between there were descriptions of how she considered and how the male lead who wasn’t confident in himself was frantically thinking of how to message the FL saying that she can forget his confession and they will go back to the same relationship. In the end, he couldn’t decide and consulted his friend again. When his friend asked what’s wrong and whether he was rejected. JSD said she will think about it was what she said. And the friend was like “r u an idiot. If she said that she will think about it, it means she will consider on the relationship.” And he thought, “ as a psychiatrist I bet she will accept the confession.” In the end like what the friend has said she accepted the confession By saying that she would like them to try out the relationship (broken English) .

Ok I won’t spoil since I felt like I wrote an essay already. But all in all, their relationship is super cute!!! JSD is someone who is very caring and someone who is deeply in love. The FL treats it very reasonably and decides calmly (Ofc she was hesitant and such).

for the OG villains to be categorized as villains is exaggerated as the OG ML is the one who's acting like a rabid dog biting at someone who's tired of acknowledging his existence.

One of the biggest flaw in OG story line is that ML/MC had hardly enough screen time, but the father gets detailed description of his life including people that hardly cross the ML are also being mentioned but mainly harass the father, so even for the reborn/transmigrated MC who has read OG story, cannot use it to her advantage against OG MC family.

It is sure a stretch to involve the original villain and main character's children, as normally those enmities gets solved early and the curtain for villains closes after MC & ML tie the knot.

To go as far as even making children's life miserable that never met their biological parents nor have a big role to play in in the lives of MC's family, their demise seem unfitting. OG MC's presence and influence is also as faint as a fly in the entire story. Plot convenience galore.

A: He is her boss. At this point, he doesn't know she's 14 years old, but is aggressively flirting with her. As her employer. She makes clear hints to keep it professional carefully calling him "Boss", and he explicitly notices this, and then the book has whole paragraphs about how he's hurt that his female subordinate doesn't want to flirt with him.
B: Their first meeting IRL is at a party hosted by the ML, where a waitress under his employ gives the little girl alcohol alone in a dark corner until she's totally smashed. She thinks it's apple juice. He watches all of this. And then "heroically" carries the drunk minor back to her family...
C: After realizing that she is 14 years old, the ML puts in a token effort to appear like he's given up on dating a minor. And then proceeds to take her out to dinner multiple times a week behind her father's back for the next four years... fully aware that her father would be absolutely furious if he found out... and they're still employer/employee, he is employing a minor and also dating her...
D: His token effort is to go and get a therapist to deal with his Pedo tendencies. However, the therapist is not an impartial professional, it's one of his school buddies. And despite getting therapy, he obviously make no moves to give up on chasing the little girl and continues to have heavy, intimate contact with her constantly. He clearly has no intention of giving up on her, just a guilty conscience.
E: Still pretending not to take an interest in the 14 year old girl, when the ML sees her talking to men her own age he goes green with jealousy and aggressively separates her from her male friends, shoving her into his car and driving away. Then he pounces on her in the back of his car. *This* is the "romantic" confession scene... it reads like a kidnapping...

The ML is Lin Shaochi. Honestly, I'm only writing this to defend him because some readers are repulsed that he fell in love with a minor. Lin Shaochi was 20, Su Bei was 14, keep reading.

Listen, Lin Shaochi is a respectable man who fell in love with an intelligent woman (Q) he met online. He was caught unaware by her identity as the 14year old Su Bei, and decided to end his love for her since she was a minor and unattainable morally. He was in love with Q, and an older brother figure to Su Bei.

When Lin Shao found out Su Bei was Q he decided to end his love and stay as Su Bei's older brother figure, while going to a counselor to put an end to his feelings that he deemed completely inappropriate.

Briefly after we read this, the author provides a time skip of 4years where Su Bei goes from 14 to 18, the time that was skipped is then talked about in passing moments so it doesn't feel too empty.

I won't spoil more because that's for you to read later, but by reading this can you really say Lin Shaochi is a pe*ophile?

All the while Lin Shaochi is acting as Su Bei's older brother he is properly suppressing his love for her.

1. He never seduces the minor Su Bei because he is impatient
2. He never makes suggestive moves towards her because he can't control himself.
3. He does spoil her though, lol, Qin Shao banned junk food so Su Bei roped Lin Shaochi into taking her to get ice cream. Lin Shaochi couldn't help giving in, but he also thought junk food was unhealthy so he specifically asked the shop to put less ice cream on the cone. SLY! LMAO

After 4 years of counseling to put an end to his feelings, he couldn't. His counselor who was also his friend, sighed and said Su Bei is an adult now, since you love her so much just chase her formally.

BRUH. I have shipped a 13 year old with a 2000+ year old. This gap of 6 years is NOTHING. Read some Chinese Wuxia and chill out.

I'm perfectly fine with an age gap AS LONG AS the minor becomes an adult before any "playful action" takes place. A minor is still a minor, let them grow up and then you can start deep kissing and playing. Our Lin Shaochi did exactly that too, he didn't cross the line with a minor and properly waited until her adulthood! Well... Lin Shaochi didn't really "know" that he was waiting, since he was fully focused on not having feelings for a minor and spoiling the adorable Su Bei.

The extra chapters had me crying so hard. I'm still in tears.

XiaoBao *CRIESSS* POOR KIDS! I'm so sad!! I'm so glad that XiaoBei found her dad! That kind of future is too terrible! Now I'm starting to dislike the 'mother', her kids would've gone through so much pain if Xiaobei hadn't gained knowledge of the novel.

I can't see, I'm crying too much. I'm so.... what do you mean by 'its a happy ending?'??? fck you, it's not. It's not happy at all. It's tragic and pitiful, heartbreaking and annoying. You damn author.

This s*upid... I knew. I knew after reading the first extra that I wouldn't enjoy reading the 2nd extra. I knew, but I wanted to finish the novel. and aerialrain's translator said that it's a happy ending... you lied.I wont trust you anymore. How is that a happy ending?! The author just ripped my heart out and shoved it back in, this time without a cushion around it.

I didn't need the extras!!!!! Why did you have to write something like that! YOU SADIST!!!

For example, I understand that she lived in another world for a while, but in that world, if I'm not mistaken from translation, she was mostly bed ridden for 4 years due to the soul not fitting the body and only read books, so how did she acquire such superb computer skills? I mean, she was poor before and later bedridden for 4 years due to soul instability with the body! In hindsight, it might be the "genes" of the father that makes the twins learn fast (envy) and always takes top spots no matter what (or maybe it's the halo), as typical of the presidential text.

Next that follows is age. The age in the story is... badly timed? The twins are 14, but MC sometimes gives me the feeling/image of being 4-6 years old pleasing daddy. Also, book ML and FL's daughter is the same age as them when obviously, the two got married after the twins' mother gave birth? And then there's the half-sister born to their mother, who's suppose to be 12, but is apparently in the same grade as the twins and mixing well with them (though different class) ?

Finally, let's talk about family relationship between the twins and father. The twins are obviously reliant on each other and are close to one other, but the act of MC buying brother clothes and helping him peel shrimp and feed him duck meet makes me think she's more like his mother than sister! As for the father, he is more close to the daughter and always thinks of her first in everything, throwing his son aside because he thinks that "sons should be poor (trained) and daughters should be rich (spoiled) ". Now, the most red flag for me was the father-daughter relationship. At first, it was okay, I can accept the fact that he paid more attention to the daughter than the son because she was willing to please him more. But I also kept in mind that she's 14, not a small and cute 4 or 6 year old child anymore, but an pre-teen (who should have the minds of an adult?) who should understand the relationship between men and women. Although their interaction is sometimes unnerving (father worried about daughter's early love and her dressing up to the point he makes her change clothes and check every boy he thinks is suspicious and warns them), it became red for me when she bought him a tie. Now, this might not be a big deal, but in most C-novels, I know that the ones to buy ties and belts are the wives/girlfriends as a way of restraining their partner or hinting at the night life. Along with father's overprotective behavior, it really made me think. It got worse when MC says she doesn't want a mother or stepmother. I feel heartache for daddy. I mean, for the first 30 (40?) or so years of his life, he was a work-a-holic and didn't even remember that night, then he became daughter-strict and follows her words to live in abstinence for the rest of his life. If such a man really exists in real life, I would be wowed and probably want him as a father too, though I'd feel a little bad for asking him to abstain and at the same time happy?

Now, let's talk about MC's relationship with other men. First, there's the boy from their old school, who suddenly saw her as beautiful, then there's her brother's friend-enemy (who happens to be book ML and FL's daughter's crush, but who finds her annoying), who also starts to see her in a new light once she starts to show beauty, the brother of a male classmate's brother whom she met through e-sport (? she somehow acquired very good programming skills for someone who was poor and died horribly only to then be bed ridden for 4 years), and finally the love-interest, a 20-year-old business partner of her father (whom her father comments is like him when he was young) who had online tech dealings with her. Also, their are the friend-enemy's group of male friends backing her along with the males in e-sports. All-in-all, the proportion of her female friends/acquittances is probably only 1 in 20.

The dad was kind of annoying and MC was way too OP and the ML was predictable if you ask me and romance was bleh, and late. ML was still a pe*ophile if you ask me and the only good thing about him is that he realized his feelings and sought therapy

The last extras were nice cuz it showed a reality where they still met their dad and he comes to save them and my heart hurts so so much for MC's brother.

That sad part where MC and bro were hungry and bro decided to go sneak downstairs to get food but MC stops him and volunteers to go cook some noodles but then she meets her dad downstairs, they ate together and she fell asleep, all forgetting about his starving brother waiting upstairs.

One was about the biological mother of the twins that appears around 3/4 of the story who lasted for like 2 or 3 chapters with just 2 or 3 lines per chapter and everything of her past grievances was one-sidedly 'resolved'. The mother wanted to meet the children for guilt of abandoning them. She talked to MC dad about taking them in to show her motherly love to them but MC dad rejects it of course. Then she saw the father and daughter getting along during a parent-children school excursion and she was finally relieved that the children were living well and she puts down her guilt and she disappears in the story. Just like that. Like... okay MC doesnt want to meet her, MC dad also doesnt want them to meet, MC mom actually not really prepared to fully love them as her children, so since no one wants to be involved with each other, everything is resolved without MC and MC mom actually talking to each other.

What even was the point of MC mom appearing?? There wouldnt be any difference whether or not she existed.
