I have seen similar concepts of space folding in reverse time before, and I roughly guessed the stepmother's secret. But that fake stepmother was able to know so much and imitate it so closely. This is not something a human can do.
After what happened, I couldn't help but be curious about my stepmother, her purpose, and... what kind of relationship bound Qinghuan and my eldest brother together, so I took the initiative to go to her.
But my stepmother has no interest in me at all, which makes me feel jealous and lost. Why, why can Qinghuan and elder brother get her attention, but I can't get her attention.
I tried to get close to her, but she teased me instead, making me run away. But even so, I still like this feeling, this feeling of being cared for and noticed.
I even accompanied her and deliberately got close to her to draw out my father, wanting to see his different emotions towards me. Sure enough, he got angry, hit me directly, and kissed my stepmother.
And I was like a jealous child, deliberately kissing the back of Shengwu's hand in front of him.
This time, he was beaten again.
This was the first time he hit me, it was very new and subtle.
It turns out that he is not emotionless and incapable of loving, but he only loves Sheng Wu.
Never cared about the three of them.
Sheng Wu went to rescue Qing Huan, and I stayed behind, watching him deal with the three taskers while blood oozed from the corners of his mouth and his hair gradually turned white.
Then Chen Guiwu kindly told me what I wanted to know most.
Who am I? Why do I have such a strange feeling towards Sheng Wu? And why doesn't he love us, or even hate us?
After listening to everything Chen Guiwu said, he did not feel the rage and resentment he had imagined, but relief instead. If this was the case, then the father-son affection and family warmth he had always longed for would all be gone.
Yes, Chen Guiwu knew from the beginning that Sheng Wu came to capture the three of them. This was the person he had been waiting for for five hundred and twenty-two years. How could he be nice to them?
And my life, I was like a puppet controlled by Chen Guiwu. I returned home early when Sheng Wu was about to arrive, and when Sheng Wu needed to gain my favor, she deliberately pushed me towards her.
So, when I said to Sheng Wu, "Thanks to you, I am a puppet who has been controlled all my life," it was not unfair to her, but I don't hate her.
Because I know that if Sheng Wu hadn't existed, Chen Guiwu might not have been interested in continuing to raise their three derivatives.
I knew that Chen Guiwu was at the end of his life, so I ate the chicken leg with poison in it.
Why do I like to eat chicken legs? It seems that since I was a child, this is the only dish Chen Guiwu has picked for me.
I can't choose how I live, but I can choose how I die.
My feelings towards Sheng Wu are complicated. I can say that I have never been moved by him, but I am derived from Chen Guiwu, and my feelings are influenced by his feelings towards Sheng Wu.
I can say that I was moved, but even I don’t know whether that heartbeat was real or influenced by Chen Guiwu.
Brother, Qinghuan, father, this time... our family is reunited.
In the Shen residence covered with heavy snow, Chen Zheliu, no, it should be Chen Xin, fell asleep in the Shen family he loved so much.
......
Chen Zheliu's dark and morbid possessiveness is not only towards Sheng Wu. He is like a madman. The more he desires something, the more he wants to hold on to it. He is greedy for the superficial warmth of the Shen family after Sheng Wu appeared. He admires his elder brother Shen Junsheng and loves his younger sister Shen Qinghuan. He resents but also desires the care of his father Shen Guiwu.
She also longs for the same love that Sheng Wu gives to the other three members of the Shen family.
He is the person most like Chen Guiwu, because he has the repression and struggle that Chen Guiwu has been waiting for for five hundred and twenty-two years. He wants to break free from the constraints, but is trapped in these longing emotions.
Shen Guiwu is trapped in this world, and Shen Zheliu is trapped in the Shen family.
Fortunately, the world collapsed in the end and everyone was freed.

Some may feel that the character of Chen Zheliu receives too little attention. Indeed, his world is largely unconquered by Awu. Let me explain why other perspectives aren't mentioned in the story. First, Chen Guiwu realized that his cultivation and lifespan could no longer sustain this world. He also sensed the deaths of Shen Qinghuan and Shen Junsheng. Therefore, when Shen Zheliu finally met Shengwu, he forcibly interfered with his fate, using the power he created to indirectly express Shen Zheliu's full affection for Shengwu, thus completing Shengwu's mission. This is also why Chen Guiwu's extra story states that the peak of Shen Zheliu's affection reflects his love for Shengwu, not the peak of his love. Therefore, Chen Zheliu's final moment was uncertain: was it his own heartbeat or Chen Guiwu's? Second, Shengwu had already guessed the relationship between Shen Zheliu and the other two and Shen Guiwu. She knew this ending would happen based on Shen Zheliu's inexplicable affection for her, and she was certain that Shen Guiwu loved her. So, in keeping with Sheng Wu's lazy, effortless, profit-seeking nature, knowing she'd ultimately gain something for nothing, she simply didn't pursue Chen Zheliu. This also served as a point of regret and irony for Chen Zheliu: an uncontrollable life, the love and attention she longed for but could not obtain.
