Okay so let me just say—this opening is WILD. A father literally keeping his own son locked in a basement for nineteen years, then shipping him off as a gift to some cold billionaire? That's not just dark, that's next-level cruel. And the twist that Jiang Mian isn't actually stupid, he just never had anyone to talk to? That hit me like a truck. The plot moves fast too—Chapter 1 sets up the whole setup, Chapter 2 shows the rejection and the father's scheme falling apart, and by Chapter 3 we're already at the fever cliffhanger. I love how the father's plan backfires so hard. He literally wanted his son to either die or be useful, and instead Shi Jinnian picks him up off the ground. The narrative structure here is tight—every chapter ends with a question that makes you immediately click to the next one. What happens now? Will the father find out? Is Jiang Mian going to survive? The stakes are established immediately and they never let up.
Okay so let me just say this: the scene where Old Mr. Su sneaks out with that basket disguised as firewood is genuinely one of the funniest and most tense moments in the entire arc. A stone mill, a half-bag of wheat, a chicken hidden under sweet potatoes and pine needles—this man is out here running a smuggling operation for New Year's Eve dinner. And the fact that he doesn't even flinch when Su Xiangdong asks if he stole it? Chef's kiss. The plot threading here is brilliant because it shows how this family operates: they don't have resources, so they MAKE resources. The wheat goes to the Tang family for grinding, the chicken gets slaughtered, dumplings happen. It's a whole logistical chain built on nothing but hustle and family connections. What really sold it for me was the parallel structure—the Old Su family preparing their feast while simultaneously being the most under-resourced household in the village. The author doesn't spell out how they got the wheat, which keeps the mystery alive, but the implication is clear: someone in this family is pulling strings we haven't fully seen yet. And that's the hook. Every chapter builds this quiet tension of 'how will they survive this?' and then delivers a payoff like the New Year's Eve dinner where everyone sits down to meat and dumplings. It's satisfying because the struggle was real, not manufactured.
The warehouse scene is absolutely cinematic. Let me paint this for you—No. 87 Yongfeng Road, South District. Five hundred square meters. Corrugated metal roof. Brick walls. No windows. Just a single rolling steel door that slams shut with a metallic crash. Su Jinxiu stands in the center of this place as mountains of supplies rise around her: medical equipment, agricultural machinery, grain, textbooks. And then she speaks one word. 'Store.' And everything vanishes. Box after box. Pile after pile. Fifteen minutes later the warehouse is empty again. The description of her sensing the interior of her space is where the worldbuilding really shines. Time is frozen inside. Supplies don't deteriorate. She could keep things there for ten thousand years. This isn't just a storage ability—it's a narrative device that changes everything about the story's stakes. But the scene that haunts me is the Jinxiu Trading Group warehouse. Three thousand square meters. Motion-sensor lights flickering on like dominoes. Six rows of shelving, twelve levels high, packed with inventory she built over twenty-three years. And she walks through it, fingertips brushing the labels, remembering every negotiation, every detail. Then she says 'Store' and in one second it's all gone. The shelves remain. The floor remains. But the life she built? Gone. The imagery of her footsteps echoing through the vacant warehouse 'like knocks against the lid of a coffin'—that's not just atmosphere, that's a funeral for her entire former life.
It is avery good story about friendship and that PSVS also liked blue that account is my big bro acc he liked it and he kept it for fun. But the book is very good
Hello everyone! For those who have read from the first chapters released, know that I cut the first 9 chapters to make the story flow more smoothly. Let me know what you think! Don't worry, I will introduce Niko's past later!Thanks for your attention and happy reading to all!
This is something new, to be honest. A world of superheroes and villains… perfect. I didn’t expect that and now I’m glued to it. The use of abilities is also interesting, with users of such abilities become an embodiment of the ability themselves, like elementals. My only problem is that it seems like the some scenarios in the story are too described, but anyway it’s good… no epic.
can you add images to help visualize it more in other chapters?
Are you dead since you haven't uploaded for some time?
ok, I'm 4 chapters in and so far this have being the novel most similar to written "corn". So far it's like as a reader your shoe a situation that ends on spicy time, with just the minimum explanation. I may change my review if someone tells me that that there's some real plot somewhere to be found
