The son, Qin Shiwu's transmigration is EXTREMELY PAINFUL. He transmigrated into someone with the exact same name who attended the same school as his parents. But this original Qin Shiwu had a depressing life. He had neglectful parents and died of leukaemia in September as his mother gave no sh*t about him and did not even come to the hospital to arrange for his care treatment. The worst part? The MC, Qin Shiwu GOES THROUGH THE PAINFUL PROCESS OF DYING FROM LEUKAEMIA before he can return to his original time.

Before that, Qin Shiwu (our MC) had thrown in insights about his life before the transmigration and he felt like an unloved child. His omega birth parent Lu Tong became a film star who worked often while his alpha parent Qin Chu became the CEO of his own company. They worked so much that whenever people ask Qin Shiwu about his parents, he would respond naturally and his classmates, aware of his shitty parent situation, THOUGHT he was talking about them. By all means we later found out that it's really a matter of perspective; his parents DID love him but he ended up having a warped perspective due to neglect and overprotectiveness.

The MC's parents also come from broken families as well. This might explain why Qin Shiwu felt so unloved; the parents are also flawed people as well. I honestly wanted to cry when Qin Shiwu would be so excited to spend time with his cold, omega parent Lu Tong as a classmate because he would intersperse with how he never got to spend time with him as a child. Working as a film star meant they barely had time together. We get the impression that Lu Tong was very subtle in how he showed his care and love for his son, as well as the alpha dad Qin Chu.

Heartbreaking moments include how Qin Shiwu almost forgot his birthday. His parents grew busy after his 5th birthday and he would mention that because he got kidnapped once as a child, he was never able to go out of the house without a bodyguard. He feels like he barely understands his parents and only understood them better after his transmigration and spending time with them as teenagers. Another part is when his omega parent, Lu Tong, is considering surgery to remove his gland due to his pheromone condition where he needs to be permanently marked by Qin Chu, which means he will become infertile and he also cannot afford to rely on the alpha parent as he will be going overseas. This caused a Cold War between the two and Qin Shiwu inwardly despaired whether he was an unwanted child. He looked back at his life on how he was neglected and wondered why he was brought into this world to suffer. Mind you, this kid is only FOURTEEN and he's depressed. He has to worry whether he will exist in the future, and whether he will return back to his original time since the body he transmigrated into has a terminal illness. The author is brutal.

His omega parent tried to comfort him when he noticed how upset Qin Shiwu was. Qin Shiwu couldn't take it anymore when he was asked by Lu Tong to call his mother. Qin Shiwu proceeded to call Lu Tong's number and when the other picked up, he just started to bawl in the zoo. He couldn't even confide in his own parent in his own time, yet he could receive the affection he desperately wanted as a friend. Also, it's crazy to expect his parents to believe that he is a transmigrator. Later on, Lu Tong is the one who connected the dots and he begins to feel guilty because EVERYTHING Qin Shiwu said has become harsher in hindsight.

Qin Shiwu's body also starts breaking down by the time they find out. The boy's vomiting blood left and right, going into comas and his parents are doing their utmost best to be by his side when they realise he is their son from the future. Qin Shiwu has every reason to be terrified when he is so close to death and might not be able to see his parents again for a second chance at making their family relations better. He decided that if he ever went back to his original time he will be a better son and stop making his parents worry. Poor kid. When he passes, he goes back to his time. But for the parents, they remember everything as everyone around them forgot about son Qin Shiwu. It was like the son's transmigration never happened.

The time loop is eventually closed by the ending. When Qin Shiwu woke up, Lu Tong was so worried he decided to stop acting. He had gone into a coma for an entire month and refused to wake up despite having good vitals. Honestly, I don't blame him. Imagine if you saw your future child die in a painful state... yikes that's so traumatic. Qin Shiwu thinks that Lu Tong's affection would last for a few days before going back to work. You know it's bad when you realise the kid tried to fake illness just to get his parents attention, and he thinks this way. Lu Tong however decided to stop filming and spend time with Qin Shiwu. As Qin Shiwu realises, Lu Tong actually does love him; he remembers his favourite food, his hobbies, and what he likes a lot. He also apologises to Qin Shiwu for being so neglectful and promises that he will be a better parent.

Qin Chu as well starts to get along better with Qin Shiwu too. Qin Shiwu also tries to dig out if his parents remembered a Qin Shiwu from their time period, but they tend to be very vague or sidestep the topic. Eventually, they do tell them that he was named after this boy, and that they remember him from 16 years ago. But Lu Tong was terrified of sending Qin Shiwu to the cemetery because of that traumatic transmigration - he really could not afford to lose his son a second time. A classmate who MC Qin Shiwu grew close to also found out his transmigration, and even recognised him at first glance. The time loop closes there as the items she kept from their time 16 years ago fades and becomes a memory. The family becomes closer and are much happier than before. The two parents throw Qin Shiwu a birthday party to make up for the lost years and bond with him even more before dropping the bomb that he will be getting a new sibling. LMAO. At least Qin Shiwu is more happier now.

there was no second sibling that joined the family. Some of the extras cover the parents trying to figure out how to make sure their son survive the transmigration after conceiving him but overall a happier family life post Canon where the parents also find out their son is dating... HAHAHA

it was so fun, a really fun story with side angst and then full angst read 😭😭 ALSO I NEVER THOUGHT IT GONNA HURT THIS BADLY I CRIED SO HARD WHEN MC GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF LEUKEMIA LIKE I THINK 3 CHAPTERS I CRIED A RIVER, MY NOSE BLOCK I COULDN'T CATCH A BREATHE. His parents reactions also broke my heart. The MC wish to see his parents wedding and then dying on that day too, that chapter broke me so much : (anyway I love this story and how the "neglect" in MC life explained^^ no drama, just pulling strings about family reconciliation

as more details of the family life he had got revealed, I just wanted him to have all the happiness in the world. He was so precious in the story and exuded the child vibe so much that I was initially worried he would be seen as a love rival but he was clearly the "child".

I can't fault it but I didn't particularly like it. I didn't read the extras so not sure if it got explained more there but since they know what happened, the neglect MC experienced for 15 years were semi-deliberate? Partially because his parents didn't want to change anything too much (affecting the series of events I think, as they remember everything), partially because they were also overly-protective. At the end MC breaks down and apologises to his dad saying sorry for thinking that they didn't love him but like, they should be the one apologising. Because that's 15 years of childhood, pretty much everything. But I also understand their worries and uncertainty of how else to approach the issue.

For example, when the mom and dad discover who the MC is and the MC is sick and dying, the father is concerned but he doesn't seem to get sad or anything. The author made a note about this saying this is his character design and he shows his love more silently but I kind of wish we could've seen more from him.

The MC dropped a lot of hints to his parents that he didn't have a happy home life. So, when his parents figure out they are his parents, his mom is heartbroken. You would think that with how the MC had talked about his life they would try and avoid doing that to him. I get the transmigration issue was a big concern and they didnt want to effect anything but still. When MC goes back to his current time his mom explains to him that they were doing it to protect him since his mom's career (hes an actror) would've pushed him in the spotlight and created problems (he got kidnapped when he was a kid so that led to his mom doing that). Like I guess but idk it was weirdly handled and felt there could've been a better explanation or have the timeline change

the MCs name being translated into qin 15 and Lu tongs friend being translated into The New Year

lines like

"Will you have a child in the future?"

"Will you love him?"

"Please don't not want me.."

Really Peirces right through the heart
