The year is 2076.
A revolutionary breakthrough in the life sciences has arrived. Interstellar materials have penetrated the most fundamental layers of human biology: epigenetics and targeted genetic modification are now fully mature technologies.
The official statement: Reproductive rights are no longer tied to gender.
In plain English: same-sex couples can have children now.
Interstellar materials are suddenly in the spotlight.
The Sheng family became a powerful household through its earth-based materials. The family patriarch clings to the old energy industry and sees interstellar materials as a scourge. To compete with interstellar energy for market share, the Sheng family doesn't hesitate to use its most beautiful son in a marriage alliance.
Sheng Jihuai is a spoiled wastrel with a pretty face and a brain like tofu. His only purpose is to serve as a tool for the family alliance. On the day he goes to register his marriage, a System pop-up appears: Bigamy alert. You already have a spouse and child.
The child's father, and the possibly existing "spouse," is Zhong Qingxing, the aloof top student from his school days and the unattainable dream of countless people.
Wait... If he's the child's father, then what does that make me?
Sheng Jihuai quickly tracks Zhong Qingxing down to demand an answer.
Zhong Qingxing is still aloof, still the unattainable dream of countless people.
He looks at Sheng Jihuai with a cold expression. "I don't know you."

Sheng Jiating's ambivalence of despising his younger brother but being unable to completely let it go is really in line with the relationship between older brothers and younger brothers in ordinary families. It feels like he still has some brotherly feelings for Xiaohuai. Seeing their brothers coming and going, I can't help but laugh.
