The final scene of the first season of the anime was a moment that brought tears to the eyes of countless viewers, yet also brought them a sense of relief.

On the slope where cherry blossoms were fluttering, Okazaki Tomo took Furukawa Nagisa's hand.

They fell silent, exchanged a smile, and walked side by side down the path where their destiny had begun.

The melodious and heartwarming tune of the Tuanzi Family song slowly begins to play.

Like the gentlest blessing, it enveloped the couple who had gone through so many hardships, and also soothed the hearts of all the viewers in front of the screen who had been holding their breath the whole way.

ended.

A perfect pure love story filled with sunshine, laughter, and touching moments from beginning to end.

It came to a perfect end at its most beautiful moment.

[Ahhhh! It's a happy ending! A perfect happy ending!]

I cried, but I cried with a smile! Tomoya and Nagisa must be happy!

[A toast to love! You old scoundrel Su, I raise a glass to you! You've finally become a decent human being!]

After a brief silence, the online world erupted into a frenzy of celebration.

The various shippers who were previously locked in fierce battles are now strangely harmonious.

Many people left their blessings under the hashtag #OkazakiTomoya'sCenturyConfession#.

Major media outlets and film critics spared no praise.

Titles such as "Best Pure Romance Anime of the Year," "A Milestone in the New Healing Genre," and "Su Bai's Most Healing Work" are constantly emerging.

With the perfect conclusion of Clannad's first season, the claim that Sue has reformed seems to have become an indisputable fact.

At the celebration banquet of Healing Animation Company, everyone had a relieved smile on their face.

"We did it! We really made a heartwarming animation that's sweet from beginning to end!"

"Qingyue, look! Our online reputation has completely improved! We really didn't make any drugs!"

Looking at the comments on the screen filled with happiness, and then at her cheering colleagues around her, Shen Qingyue finally felt a huge weight lifted from her heart.

She walked up to the man who had been quietly watching everything from beginning to end, her eyes slightly red.

"Su Bai, thank you."

"Thank you for giving everyone such a gentle ending."

Su Bai simply smiled and remained silent.

However, just as the celebration banquet reached its climax...

On the official website of Healing Animation, a subtle change occurred in a corner that no one had noticed.

A brand new poster was quietly hung up.

The poster's title uses a font that is both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar to everyone.

【Clannad After Story】

The poster's color scheme is no longer as bright and warm as in the first season, but rather a chilling gray.

The main characters are still Tomoya Okazaki and Nagisa Furukawa, but they are no longer the naive students they once were.

As a grown man, Tomoya's face was etched with the weariness and vicissitudes of life.

Nagisa, standing to the side, still had a gentle smile, but with an added hint of indescribable vulnerability.

Against their backdrop was a sky full of snow.

At the very bottom of the poster, a line of small print cuts through the illusion of warmth like a sharp blade.

The real story is just beginning.

This poster is simply displayed on the official website.

At first, no one noticed, but when the first netizen to discover it posted a screenshot on social media with trembling hands.

The entire internet frenzy came to an abrupt end.

One second the comments section was filled with cries of "Su Laozei has finally become a human being!", the next second the tone changed drastically.

【???????????】

A deluge of question marks, like a black tide, instantly submerged all the posts.

What happens next? Is there a second season?

Wait a minute, something's off about this poster! Snow? Why snow? Isn't My Dumpling Family sweet anymore?

What is the real story? Does that mean everything we've been watching for over a month was fake?

I'm a little scared, my heart is pounding. That old scoundrel Su isn't going to...

No one dared to voice that guess.

But that familiar fear of being dominated by that old scoundrel Su has spread wildly in the hearts of every viewer.

The atmosphere of happiness and contentment vanished instantly.

What reappeared was endless terror.

......

Tencent Animation Headquarters.

Looking at the impressive statistics of Clannad's perfect finale, and the dismal statistics of his own "Sword Immortal Romance" which was ridiculed across the internet, Wang Hao's face had already turned ashen.

He was about to mock Su Bai for having lost his creative talent and only being able to survive by making mindless sweet romance anime.

Just then, his assistant scrambled in and held the tablet computer up to him.

"Mr. Wang! Look! Su Bai, he..."

Wang Hao glanced at it impatiently, and his expression instantly froze.

He stared intently at the gloomy and ominous poster, and was taken aback at first.

Immediately, a morbid and twisted ecstasy burst forth from the depths of his eyes!

"Hahahahahahaha!"

He laughed maniacally, like a drowning man grasping at a straw.

"An opportunity! An opportunity has arrived!"

He slammed his fist on the table and roared at his terrified team.

"He's digging his own grave! How dare he betray the audience! Send me a press release immediately! Through all channels! Say that Su Bai deceived the audience and is ultimately going down the same depressing path!"

"Tell everyone! Our Tencent's 'Swordsman Romance' is the true epitome of unwavering devotion! It's the true embodiment of sunshine and joy!"

Wang Hao's eyes blazed with the flames of revenge; he could almost see Su Bai being completely overwhelmed by the angry audience and utterly disgraced.

......

Healing Animation Company.

The cheerful atmosphere had somehow come to an end, and everyone stared stiffly at their phone screens, their smiles long gone.

Shen Qingyue felt a chill creep up her spine.

She turned around abruptly, rushed to Su Bai, and shoved the poster on her phone hard into his face, her voice trembling violently.

"Su Bai! What are you doing now?!"

Su Bai ignored her roar and didn't even glance at the poster.

His gaze was leisurely as he watched the storm on the internet, which he had personally stirred up, turning from jubilation to panic, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.

"Don't rush."

He answered calmly, his voice not loud, but it shattered Shen Qingyue's last shred of illusion.

"This is the first lesson in life we're about to begin."
