My favorite part was the wife-chasing crematorium part with Li Songyun, though it was a shame Gu Mian didn't manage to catch him at the crematorium.

the protagonist gong's parents. I'm thoroughly shock when the author put more focus on their conflict & how being perfect is not always good. it's truly sad when the omega father just got pressured by his family for deciding to divorce his husband. but THANK GOD the husband is finally willing to let him go & learn his mistakes. it's kinda bittersweet & I cried a little bit.

he went from being the stereotypical weak omega to slowly realizing the injustice and oppression he faces in his day to day life and wanting to change that. It really made me see the parallel between the oppression women feel in todays society and the world the author constructed. Omegas are always taught to stay at home, dress appropriately to not provoke an alphas desire and then get married and have kids, only to be shamed if they are assaulted. It really makes it clear how both Os and woman are so harshly discriminated against and I do hope that should any man read this, they’ll learn something from it.

At first the MC only wanted to support the ML who he believes to be a secret O, but later on he realizes that he too can try to change things and actively does that. He has his own interests and honestly thinks about what he can do to improve his and other O’s situation in society.

parallel world concept enough. Although, I only think this way, because I wanted to see what happened to the OO couple in that world where Gu Tunan was an okay person to start with and the MC seemed smarter. Maybe he seemed smarter as a child or maybe I'm projecting my opinions on the character that didn't give up his studies in mech building to the extent the MC from the main world did and I assume he got smarter as a result of all of that additional attention he allowed himself to pay to it.

Chapter 2-

“At the end of the book, Xie Ruheng found an uninhabited wilderness, holding a fragment of his mecha in his palm, and quietly looking at the starry night sky. He heard that after death, people would become a star. Xie Ruheng thought, if he turned into a star, it would be a far away, small and feeble star, sinking deeply into the dark atmosphere. Just like his life, rebellious and free-spirited, sinking into many impossibilities. Thinking of this, those dark phoenix eyes finally lost the last of their light. He faced the starry sky and remained on the eve of dawn eternally.”

This part from the “original” novel really hooked me into the story. It’s so incredibly heartbreaking and made me feel instantly connected to this character. In hindsight, after about chapter 30 or so, I also sort of wished Xie Ruheng really was an omega in this universe. If not I wish I could read the “original” novel too because as heartbreaking and angsty as it would be, I really want to read the O/O pairing. And also, just thinking about the “original” XRH, I think of this quote specifically all the time.

Chapter 22-

Tang Bai finally standing up for himself in front of his mother and grandpa. He is so angered at the fact that the omega that was r*ped was silenced by the r*pist not to protect the r*pist, but to protect his prospective marriage and reputation. He is brought to a boiling point where he reflects on the gender inequalities in society ad how it’s shackled his own life, and he realizes he is entirely discontent and would rather die than to live in servitude of Alphas and be a birthing machine for them. He realizes that without having ever encountered the “book” of the original story and learned of Omega-Xie Ruheng’s existence, he would have resigned to a life of “a canary in a cage” according to society’s standards and views of omega.

“Xie Ruheng, who pierced through his enemy with a sword, once again appeared in Tang Bai's mind. His face was red blood, so red that it was like a fire that never extinguished. In the shadow of the sword, the dark phoenix eyes looked at him silently—— If this society had a barrier blocking everything, then pierce it with a sword. If you know that you’re unwilling, if you know that you’ll regret it in the future, if everything is too late, why not try? If everyone lives in a book and has their own plotline, then why do we have to follow the expectations of others to follow the plot? This is obviously my life. All the joys and sorrows, the ups and downs, can be written by myself ——As long as I am willing to bear the price for it. If I am willing to give everything for it, then I... Why don't I just be myself?”

For some reason this scene really hit hard I almost cried. This whole chapter was extremely moving. the author and translators do a phenomenal job of conveying the uneasiness-->rising tension-->realization-->resolve throughout it to the readers!

Chapter 40-

Holy CRAP!1!>?!?! Gu Tunan (aka original male protagonist) little dad (omega father) sees the way his own son he raised regards omegas and how he treats Tang Bai, and realizes he failed to teach his son to respect and properly love omegas, , , , and how he has turned out like his father...

“Before I married into the Gu family, I had a free and unrestrained personality. I also liked to dress up. I used to be an omega like Tangtang. It’s just because the Gu family needed a perfect Mrs. Gu, so since then, no one has known my name is Li Songyun.”

Li Songyun covered his eyes, tears dripping down his palms, as he said: “I like Tangtang so much, how can you bully him like your father bullied me:”

I thought about my mom and all the things she’s told me about when she was younger and married to my dad. I had to take a moment to touch grass and cry some REAL tears for a while, and then I came back inside to start typing up this review, and makes notes on every part that really had a lot of OOMPH

Moreover, there's also that chapter where MC confronted his fam about the omega accident, and then how he made his grandpa finally accept him. Srsly, it's heartbreaking to hear his thoughts about how omegas have to suffer in silence even when they're not at fault
