To answer people’s confusion about ZSC’s family, please read below, this is a complicated family, SPOILER ALERT:
1.ZSC’s dad and mom: the family didn’t approve their relationship, ZSC dad left the house with his mom, when ZSC was 3yo, his mom died. His dad returned and married ZSC’s stepmom so ZSC can take family name ZhouSheng
2. ZSC’s dad and ZSC’s stepmom: marriage due to family benefit and pressure , no love.
3. ZSC dad also passed away when he was young
4. ZSC’s uncle and his wife: had Zhou Sheng Ren.
5. ZSC’s uncle and ZSC’s stepmom: was in relationship and the stepmom was pregnant before she was married to ZSC’s dad, ZSC’s dad knew about that but still married her so she could take care of ZSC.
6. Both Zhou Wen Xing and Zhou Wen Chen are children of ZSC’s step mom and his uncle.
