— Doing this will only end badly
— No one has ever had a good ending in this world
As the Three Sufferings Era has passed for thousands of years, the social order of the Xianzhou has become more stable, and the Brotherhood has become history. However, the remaining members are still trying to continue the past glory in an era that does not belong to them. The old "code of conduct" has broken down, and the new members have no bottom line and are unscrupulous. It was the Brotherhood that caused the last underground war before completely dying out.
The Bridge to Grandma's Home is a classic Robe Brethren immersia, also known as "the last Robe Brethren immersia." Unlike most Robe Brethren immersias, the main perspective of The Bridge to Grandma's Home is not a member of the Brotherhood, but the daughter of the boss, little Rain. It is plain as day to anyone with a perceptive eye that little Rain is the embodiment of Director Zi Run.
In The Bridge to Grandma's Home, the Brotherhood has shed its polished exterior, and the brethren are just a group of despicable, cruel, and shameless criminals. Zi Run once lived in such an environment, and as a child, fully experienced the extensive bloody conflict within the Brotherhood.
The production company Spooky Fantasy Entertainment did not agree with Zi Run's filming of this immersia with a strong autobiographical nature. On the one hand, autobiographies possess strong subject matters specific to the protagonist, which is considered to hinder the substitution of the experiencer. On the other hand, at that time, Robe Brethren immersias had not yet gone out of fashion yet. This led them to worry that such a subversive Robe Brethren immersia would not have a particularly good box office response.
In the end, Zi Run had to pay out of pocket to film the immersia. As results would prove, the production company's judgment was wrong. The Bridge to Grandma's Home became the most popular Butterfly Immersia at the box office that year, and was also recognized as the greatest Butterfly Immersia in history.
Since then, Zi Run left Spooky Fantasy Entertainment and used the earnings to create Elsholtzia Fantasy Entertainment. The former went bankrupt soon after.
There is another thought-provoking detail about The Bridge to Grandma's Home. In real life, a young Zi Run was adopted by an officer when the Cloud Knights completely wiped out the Brotherhood, and lived a happy, enviable life from then on. But at the end of The Bridge to Grandma's Home, little Rain died in her father's arms during his last hurrah.
Perhaps deep down, Zi Run really did die that night when the Brotherhood was wiped out.
