  1. I previously thought that Wen Chan was a bit abnormal but looking at this situation woth her father I would be surprised if she was normal .

    Well sigh and the most frightening thing is there are parents like that

    • the worst part is especially because he’s respected worldwide(?!), she has no where to air her grievances. Even setting aside the parent-worship common in these kind of cultures, especially because he no longer hits her, no one would take her complaints seriously.

      Seems like why her dad could be so respected outside is because inside he had something he could ruthlessly control. Really disgusting.

      • it’s more like pupils he taught didn’t stay in the country and went abroad, so it makes his prestige bigger. well, that’s how i see it.

        tbh there really isn’t an answer to why he is like that, as far as i remember, except that it might be a side effect of profession, where you’re in control position and want the best things for your kid not considering what your kid wants. we have plenty of these type of parents, they’re not abusive, but their kids are wasted entire weak on all types of after-class activities (well, before quarantine that is))))) and it sounds like their kids can’t even have 5 minutes to fart how tight is their schedule.

    • There are. My own parents have some similarities like Wen Chan’s minus all the practice. When I was little everything was scheduled out for me and I was limited to choose what I wanted to do within the parameters of: not sports, dance, video games, comics, magazine, movies or anything that would keep me after school hours. I had to study for a set amount of time everyday. I can’t go over other people’s houses and they also can’t come over. My parents know where I am at all times. I’m in college and the rule still is I can’t date. So I see the similarities.

      HOWEVER my parents do show and tell me they love me and are considerate of what I want too, as in they don’t choose my school or major or job. I’m happy with the loosening of the reigns no matter how slow. At least they are loosening. But I totally get that. If forced to do something it becomes horrible no matter how fun it was initially.

      • is it really a practice from real life, though? i mean, almost every novel i read they make either mc having a habit of drinking milk or just a random character gets a glass before bed. i may be able to drink it, but i hate it xD and warm milk makes me puke, literally.

        • Hmm… Yes I would think. Not necessarily warm milk, but when I was younger, I’d drink milk twice a day, once in the morning and once before I sleep. My parents treated milk like kid’s calcium supplement I guess. Then when I got older, I’d only drink milk (usually cold, it’s only ever warm if I’m adding it to Milo or a chocolate drink) at night if I feel like I need extra help to sleep.

        • +1 I used to be given warm milk (or milo, really, considering how much I hated powdered milk) by my dad everyday twice a day, once in the morning before school & once at night before I went to sleep… used to happen till I was like nine or ten I think…..

          also:

          Cow’s milk & soy milk have veryyyyy different names in Chinese as far as I know;; one is called 牛奶 (niunai cow’s milk) and the other is 豆浆 /豆奶(doujiang / dounai soybean milk) so it’s probably hard to get it mixed up

  2. Honestly, I feel like that Wen girl could have grown up into a good girl if she wasn’t warped by that ***** of a father that she has. By restricting her so much her mental psyche has been broken & perverted into lashing out at the world because the reality is too much for her. I’m not defending her, I just feel a twinge of pity for her childhood self that could have been saved

    • Well most murderers/other things have a really pitiful childhood. People are often influenced by their environment. It’s sad 🙁

      • Very true. Cases of people just being born evil or with a few wires crossed are much rarer. While I still want to throw the adult villains into some hellhole & throw away the key, I still feel pity for the children who could have been saved

          • Same here. No one is absolute good or bad. Its just shades of darkness. Lets not forget that history is written by the victor & that person will obviously be glorified in his story

    • Yeah!! I also have a relative who is really strict with his kids like he has determined a path for them and they have to follow it. Whenever I would look at them , I would feel like my parents are spoiling me.

      • That’s really sad. While I agree that parents should guide & correct children so that they don’t become monsters, they also need to remember that they don’t own that child. Its not a property under them. Everyone has their own paths & too much restrictions only lead to horrifying rebellion that hurts both parties. I don’t care how good the intentions were, if you suffocate someone they’ll fight for their lives or die. Either result is not good.

  3. The fathers in this world makes my father’s strictness look like excessive spoiling Σ(゚д゚lll)

  4. What is happening in this world? The bad guys are the fathers, I pity the protagonists. I hope they can find happiness, not face-slapping.

  5. Man wtf IS up with dads in this world???? They’re all straight up abusive, damn.

  6. Yikes Tiger parents…. kinda pity Wen Chan for what she’s become as the result of her father’s unhealthy obsession with control over her life….

    Thanks for the chapter!!

  7. My father is also controlling but what he told his siblings is that my mom’s the controlling one. How ridiculous these fathers can be? 😐😑

  8. Honestly I do feel bad for the reborn dude and Wen Chan. Like, both became vicious people due to their living situations and tbh, Zhou Xu (the brother not mc) kinda deserves his ending. I mean he was terribly abusive to the reborn guy (Like he got scars and those school pranks?!) and did lead him directly to his death so like, it isn’t so unfair to think this reborn dude wants revenge for what happened to him. The girl is more twisted though, but it makes sense since her father is such a controlling psycho ah

  9. I hope the step-mom, half-bro and girlfriend live a good life somewhere far away. He hasn’t done anything bad yet and was tortured everyday then died in horrifying circumstances only to go back and be tortured again. It’s so sad.

    Plus in China being filial is necessary, they won’t be able to get free of their dads.

  10. I actually pity Zhou Xueli, having that kind of father and brother makes him rotten too. It is really no wonder that he wants the original Zhou xu die, i think that what he did (making the original ZX die by hunger) is actually lighter plus it was the father’s fault too for not remembring ZX. But its also ZXL choices that makes his life like that even though he doesnt want it. Hayst, :3

  11. 🤨Блин в етот момент радуюсь что у меня нет отца🙄😏😏😏….. меня очень пугают такие родители…😬😖😖😖

  12. After i read other people’s comments here, i realized how lenient my parents be to me. Never make me to study so hard, never restrict me to play, give me a pocket money everyday, and i can read a novel a whole day…. Thanks god

    But bcs of that i dont have any motivation for my future 😌😌

    Really, life is full of backlash

  13. Wen Chan’s father is like a step by step recipe for disaster. The girl can only either become suicidal, go crazy from the control and run away and fall with a bad crowd to be a different as her father as possible or just become a psychopathic murderer. Piano music, dance and calligraphy are arts. You can’t instill passion in the arts if you force someone to practice it for hours everyday.
