The long review contains major spoilers, so read with caution.

There's also a short bonus chapter in the afterword of the final chapter. It's free!

The sole heir to the Xun Group,

young master Xun Yu'an,

has known since childhood that he has an illegitimate older brother,

but never cared about it.

That is, until just before his eighteenth birthday,

when his father brought the illegitimate son home and made him his successor.

Seeing his mother so upset that she was hospitalized,

Xun Yu'an could take no more.

He gathered some people and beat his half-brother badly,

only for his father to send him abroad to gain experience.

But all he did was doze off on the way to the airport.

When he opened his eyes again, he realized he had transmigrated,

into his own twenty-four-year-old body.

Just like that, six years had inexplicably gone missing.

Xun Yu'an knew nothing about his current situation.

His childhood friend Ji Ming told him:

"You're a nobody, an eighteen-tier celebrity!"

"You cut ties with your dad ages ago!"

"The Xun family's hundreds of billions aren't yours by a single cent!"

"The current president of Xun Group is your illegitimate older brother, Zhan Zhan!"

Xun Yu'an was struck as if by lightning and promptly collapsed to the ground.

But his older brother, Zhan Zhan, told him:

"An'an, we've gotten along really well these past six years."

"We're not only brothers, we're good friends, too."

"You've lost your memory, so you don't remember any of it."

"Come home with me, okay? I'll take you to get treatment."

Zhan Zhan's gaze was gentle, his voice doting.

Xun Yu'an was skeptical, but willing to believe him.

With no other choice,

he followed Zhan Zhan's arrangements

and returned to the Xun family home.

As he learned more about Zhan Zhan,

he gradually accepted his half-brother.

Until one day, through a strange twist of fate,

Xun Yu'an opened a dusty Pandora's box,

and everything became a mystery.

A mysterious safe.

A deactivated SIM card.

A strange WB account.

Unexplained photos and keepsakes.

The more he uncovered, the more suspicious things became.

At last, Xun Yu'an realized

that neither Ji Ming nor Zhan Zhan could be trusted.

What is the truth?

Did I transmigrate, or have I lost my memory?

Burdened by one question after another,

Xun Yu'an decided to rely on himself

to uncover the forgotten secrets buried in the past.

2. The top and bottom have absolutely no blood relation. This is important!

3. The entertainment industry is just part of the characters' setup and a way to advance the main plot, not the focus.

4. There are plenty of clues and mysteries, so watch for them as you read.

5. This is not a forensic-investigation mystery. The focus is on multiple twists and an unconventional ending.

Theme: Everything has its cracks, but that's where the light gets in.
