I've seen this in other chinese manhua too, a lot of the manhua cram in a heck load of the plot in just a chapter, so much so that it looks like we're reading a recap version. Why is that? How come a lot of chinese manhua are like this? Is there a reason why they're like that?
It's just the introduction to the real story, a lot of Chinese novels start out like this. What would take others a while, those authors are just like: 'Ah yes they reincarnated, everyone knows this trope by now so I won't explain it anymore, let's start the real story from here' and after that the pacing is way more normal.
The father should just rot in jail. Don't try to reconcile with that waste of space. Why are you being such a pushover? Sometimes I wonder if it's cultural difference or if it's just the mangas that like pushover protagonists so much.
