    The eldest brother, despised by the entire internet, harbors such a secret! Family, I absolutely have to recommend this novel; it's so powerful it took me days to recover, I cried my eyes out the whole time 😭. The five children of the Wei family are all exceptionally accomplished. The second son is a business tycoon, the third's identity is shrouded in mystery, the fourth is a research professor, and the fifth is a dazzling singer on stage. However, Wei Xia, the eldest son, is hated by everyone and infamous. He is accused of selling his younger siblings, driving away his family, and committing countless evil deeds. It's not until Wei Xia is shot and arrested, and the research institute activates a life simulation device, allowing the four siblings to simulate his life, that the truth comes to light. It turns out that their parents, after being retaliated against for investigating a drug trafficking group, entrusted their younger siblings to Wei Xia before their deaths. Afterwards, he embarks on a path of revenge alone, silently raising his younger siblings and enduring all the misunderstandings. He admits to arson, abandoning his own life; grows his hair long, accepting a cruel future; sends his younger siblings away, sacrificing his own soul; chooses drugs to numb all his feelings. He wasn't crazy; he simply always resolutely chose his family, sacrificing himself. Wei Xia's life was an epic of carrying the burden for his family. He single-handedly upheld the Wei family's honor, truly deserving of the title of eldest son! I highly recommend everyone watch it to experience this profound shock and emotion!

    I stayed up all night to finish this "new type of satisfying novel," and it was absolutely thirst-quenching! It was incredibly satisfying. While previous satisfying novels focused on the invincible martial arts, this one leans towards the literary aspect. It's especially enjoyable for those who don't understand programming, because even though they don't know it, the protagonist seems incredibly awesome. It mainly portrays a kind of invincibility—one that's imaginable, and another that I could relate to. In the literary aspect, this invincibility is based on knowledge.
