Novel Info

Summary

... Read More

Lu Fei is a twenty-four-year-old top-tier entertainment superstar who recently suffered a severe professional setback. After starring in the highly anticipated adaptation of the novel Fallen Immortal, he faced intense backlash from original fans who criticized script changes that favored the female lead. The controversy resulted in widespread online harassment, branding him with the derogatory nickname Lu Trash. Deeply affected by the criticism and struggling with undiagnosed bipolar disorder, Lu Fei decided to quit acting entirely, refusing to accept any new roles despite his manager Sang Wei’s desperate attempts to convince him otherwise. His mental state deteriorated rapidly, leading to insomnia, emotional instability, and a growing sense of worthlessness that isolated him from his colleagues and family.

The narrative shifts when a three-year-old girl named Lu Youyou unexpectedly appears backstage at Lu Fei’s concert. Dressed in a nightgown and clutching a shark plushie, she claims to be his younger sister and insists that their father is Lu Yu, the CEO of the Lu Group, and their mother is the famous actress Shi Ning. Lu Fei initially dismisses her as a scammer or an illegitimate child fathered by his neglectful father. However, Youyou recites private phone numbers and mentions her eldest brother, Lu Yan, who had recently co-founded a tech company. Intrigued and unable to immediately discard her, Lu Fei allows his assistant A Jiu to temporarily care for the child while he attempts to verify her claims.

Youyou’s backstory reveals that she is a time traveler from six years in the future. In her original timeline, her family was close-knit, but her father had fallen into a coma after a sudden illness, and her second brother, Lu Fei, had become a notorious scumbag in the entertainment industry. Consumed by depression and bipolar disorder, Lu Fei eventually took his own life after being exposed for infidelity and career failures. Youyou traveled back in time to prevent this tragic future and protect her brother. During her stay with Lu Fei, she witnesses his volatile mood swings and the depth of his insecurity, realizing that her presence is crucial to altering his fate.

As the typhoon season traps Youyou in Lu Fei’s apartment, the siblings begin to interact more frequently. Lu Fei remains cold and distant, viewing her as a burden and a reminder of his father’s perceived infidelity. Meanwhile, A Jiu grows fond of Youyou, providing her with care and attention that Lu Fei refuses to give. The situation changes when Lu Yan, the eldest brother, arrives to take custody of the child. Lu Yan, a brilliant but financially strained twenty-year-old graduate student, is initially skeptical of Youyou’s time-travel claims. However, after experiencing vivid dreams that mirror her story and examining her advanced smartwatch, he begins to believe her.

Youyou moves in with Lu Yan, who lives in a modest apartment near Tsinghua University. Despite his poverty, Lu Yan is dedicated to proving her identity and helping her adjust. He attempts to repair her smartwatch, which contains holographic family photos that could serve as proof of her origin. The watch’s unique charging cradle, a technology from the future, becomes a focal point for Lu Yan’s research, reigniting his passion for innovation. Simultaneously, Lu Fei’s mental health continues to decline, and he faces increasing pressure from his agency and the public. The story sets the stage for a convergence of family reunification, technological breakthrough, and the redemption of Lu Fei’s career and life, driven by Youyou’s determination to save her brother from his dark future.

Let me just talk about the bathroom scene for a moment because the visual storytelling here is INCREDIBLE. You have this tiny three-year-old climbing onto a giant adult toilet, perching on the edge like she's afraid of falling in, then later standing on tiptoe at the sink trying to reach the faucet. The imagery of water overflowing, the little girl's panic, her trying to be quiet so she doesn't wake her brother — it reads like a film script. I could literally see every frame. The apartment itself is such a character. An eighteen-year-old top-tier star's 'spacious, empty apartment' that no one has ever stayed in before. The guest room with beds that are 'more for show and weren't very comfortable.' This is a person who has never had anyone in his space, never had to think about another person's needs. The contrast between his lonely, sterile environment and this tiny child navigating it carefully is so powerful. And the opening scene — the pitch-black rain, stumbling and falling, then night turning to day, rain giving way to sunshine, buildings looking different — that's such a vivid transformation sequence. The author doesn't over-explain it, just lets the imagery do the work. You FEEL the disorientation. The detail about You You turning the TV volume all the way down so she can 'just watch the pictures' — that's such a specific, lived-in detail. It tells us everything about this child's temperament without any exposition. She's considerate to a fault, observant, adaptive. The worldbuilding here isn't about grand descriptions of cities or magic systems, it's about the intimate, sensory details that make a space feel real.

Okay so let me just... I need a minute. The Shi Ning and Lu Fei video call scene. I read it three times and each time my chest tightened a little more. Here's the thing—when Shi Ning appears on that screen, she's described as having 'no light in her eyes.' Just that. Three words that say everything about how broken she is in this timeline. And Lu Fei? He's so defensive, so cold. 'I'm an adult now, you don't need to worry about me.' Like he's pushing her away to protect himself, not her. But then You You shows up and calls her 'Mommy' and Shi Ning looks at her like she's a complete stranger. That moment—'Xiao Fei, who is this child...?'—it's devastating. You You had just been so hopeful, so excited, and then BAM. Her mommy doesn't even recognize her. The irony is killing me. You You traveled back in time hoping to reunite her family, but the Shi Ning of this timeline is so wounded that she can't even see the daughter standing right in front of him. And Lu Fei's reaction? He hangs up immediately. Not because he's cruel, but because he's terrified—terrified of Shi Ning finding out about You You, terrified of complicating an already fractured relationship. 'I have something urgent to do, I'll talk to you later.' He couldn't even let her say goodbye to the child who called her mommy. And then You You crying 'Mommy doesn't know You You anymore, You You's heart hurts'—I literally had to pause the book. This child came all this way through time and the first thing that happens is her mother looks at her like she's invisible. What I love most is how Lu Fei's internal conflict is shown through his actions. He initially doesn't want Shi Ning to see You You, but then he's the one who wipes her snot and holds her. He's learning to be soft, and this scene forces him to confront what he's lost too—his mother, his family, all of it. The relationship between these three characters—Shi Ning, Lu Fei, and You You—is like a triangle where two points are connected by love and the third point is a stranger. How do you bridge that gap? That's the question haunting me.

Okay, can we just talk about Lu Fei for a second because THIS man is everything. Like, he starts off this cold, aloof Top Tier Star who literally said he hated human toddlers and refused flights with kids under ten—classic grumpy exterior energy—and then the very first video his little sister accidentally posts shows him getting absolutely conquered by a three-year-old's foot. He KISSED her toes! I literally screamed when I read that part. The man who probably has a team of stylists and a PR department handling his every move just loses his entire composure over some chubby toddler feet and plants a kiss on them like it's the most natural thing in the world. And then there's the sibling dynamic with Lu Yan, which is so interesting because you can TELL he's the responsible older brother who carries everything on his shoulders. The 200 million breach-of-contract penalty hanging over their heads? That's not just a plot device, that's real pressure. But what really got me was Lu Yan's internal monologue about their parents—how he knew the separation was caused by the trauma of nearly losing Xiao Wang, and how he's secretly hoping this little girl might somehow heal their fractured family. That's such a heavy, layered character moment. He's not just worried about money; he's carrying the weight of his parents' broken marriage on top of everything else. You You though—this kid is a FORCE. She's already running money-making schemes in her head, thinking about yellow shopping carts and livestreaming, all while being this adorable chaotic toddler who threatens to go collect trash if she can't help pay debts. The way she looks at Lu Fei with zero fear, calling him out, shaking her head at his reluctance—it's like she sees right through his grumpy exterior and knows exactly how to get what she wants.

The pacing in these chapters is absolutely masterful. Let me walk through how the author builds tension like a pro. We start with this seemingly innocent scene—young You You defending her parents' love, Lu Fei being slightly intimidated by her intensity. It's light, almost comedic. Then SUDDENLY Producer Su Haolin calls and drops the bomb: the TikTok has gone viral with a million likes. The shift from "cute sibling moment" to "oh god my career is over" happens in like two paragraphs and it's BRILLIANT. The author then does this incredible thing where Lu Fei discovers the videos and we get this rapid-fire escalation: first he's horrified about his image, then he's mortified by the foot-kissing video, then he's bracing for netizen mockery, and then—plot twist—the comments are actually ALL positive. The audience is charmed, not destroyed. That's a classic misdirection that keeps you turning pages. Then just when you think the chapter is done being wild, Su Haolin shows up in person with an invitation to a reality show. And then he drops the Jiang Zhuo bomb. The idol who shaped Lu Fei's entire career is going on a divorce reality show. The emotional whiplash from "my little sister is famous" to "my life's inspiration is getting divorced" is no accident—the author is deliberately stacking revelations to keep the reader completely hooked. The chapter ends with Lu Fei finally agreeing, but not before this beautiful moment where You You calls him out for being scared, and he deflects by saying he's worried about HER suffering. The pacing never lets you settle. Every scene transitions into the next with a new piece of information or emotional beat. No filler, no dragging. Just relentless forward momentum.

Okay so this whole section is basically a masterclass in stacking crises until the reader can barely breathe, and I am HERE for it. Let me walk through the domino effect because it is so well-constructed. It starts with something almost mundane — the power is out, the AC is broken, Lu Yan is sweating through everything. This is our baseline: struggling but stable. Then You You accidentally blurts out the eight-million-debt secret to Lu Fei, which sets off the next chain. Lu Fei, in a moment of genuine brotherly warmth, offers to pay it off. And for a second — just a second — we think, okay, salvation is here. The wealthy younger brother saves the day. Then the author SLAMS the brakes. The money is frozen. Twenty-five thousand. Twenty-five. THOUSAND. The humiliation on Lu Fei's face? I could feel it through the screen. And this is where the plot gets really smart — it's not just that he CAN'T help, it's that the system itself is designed to trap people like him. The one-year holding period, the company's right to freeze earnings at any time. This isn't bad luck; it's structural. And then — BAM — the bullying scandal drops like a nuke. Half an hour ago, someone leaked this whole thing about Lu Fei harassing a girl in high school. The internet explodes. And You You, three years old, connects dots that no adult seems to be connecting: the woman from her dream (Wan Zuer) is the female lead in the drama, and she was literally plotting to dig up dirt on Lu Fei. The nightmare wasn't random — it was foreshadowing. The plot doesn't just escalate; it CONVERGES. All these threads — the debt, the frozen money, the scandal, the dream — they're all pulling toward the same dark point. And the chapter ends with You You pounding on Lu Fei's locked door, screaming that he's not a bad person, that he can't die. I literally gasped. The suicide note from the original timeline is now a real, present threat, and the only person who seems to understand the urgency is a toddler.

I need to talk about how the pacing in these chapters operates like a pressure cooker, and honestly, the author's control over tempo is impressive. The chapter opens almost lazily — heat, waking up, pouring water, topping up the electricity. These are slow, domestic beats. You're breathing along with the characters. Even the subway ride to Lu Fei's place has this unhurried quality, with You You pointing out concert posters and recounting her adventure. It feels like a slice-of-life interlude. Then Lu Fei offers the eight million, and the pacing QUICKENS. The transaction fails. One failure. Two. Five. The awkward silence. A Jiu's weak 'twenty-five thousand.' The tempo is accelerating now, each beat landing harder than the last. And then the scandal drops. This is where the author goes FULL THROTTLE. The Weibo hashtags appear like sirens — #BREAKING! #TRENDING! — and suddenly we're in crisis mode. A Jiu's phone clattering to the floor. You You scrambling off the couch. The locked door. The pounding. The screaming. What's brilliant is that the author never lets us exhale between these waves. The dream sequence with Wan Zuer acts as a brief respite — almost lulling us back into that slower rhythm — before the scandal shatters everything. And You You's realization that the dream woman and the drama actress are the SAME PERSON? That's the pivot point where the pacing shifts from external crisis to internal dread. The chapter structure itself mirrors the narrative: it starts wide and open, then compresses into a single locked door, and ends on a note of pure panic. There's no resolution, no breath, no 'and then everything was fine.' Just pounding fists and a child's voice breaking.
