Liu Yaozong is a man destroyed by doting, a reincarnation of fate that cannot be escaped. In the 1970s, a case of meningitis nearly claimed Liu Yaozong's life. His father saved him with a box of penicillin in exchange for deer placenta. From then on, he was regarded as a treasure by his mother in a family that favored sons over daughters. The tolerance of his sisters and his parents' connivance made him grow into a selfish and willful giant baby. He got married early at the age of 17, but got divorced because his wife cheated; he remarried at the age of 30, to the equally flawed Yang Hua, and barely managed to maintain the family. With no education and no stable job, he relies on his parents' pension and the rent from his courtyard house to survive. At the age of 44, a minor car accident became the last straw for him - the lie that his mother had spun that "you are the best" was ruthlessly exposed by reality. He fell into depression and gave up on life completely, but his son Xiaoqiang fell in love with a woman seven years older than him at the age of 17, repeating the tragedy of his father's early marriage and lack of responsibility...
This is a story about doting, incompetence and intergenerational reincarnation.
Liu Yaozong's life was a life destroyed by over-protection, and it was also the epitome of thousands of ordinary people trapped in their original families.
