The subtitle team translated the title as "Mother's Gift", but I don't think it's enough to add the finishing touch, so it should be changed to "Mother's Nectar" to correspond to "Son's Arsenic".

The mother's selfishness, timidity and cowardice once pushed her young son into the abyss. Even when she was dying, she still gave her property to the shameless liar regardless of the life of her children and grandchildren, and even the last request was for her son to kill her. The venom of the curse flows freely.

The son spends his life escaping the shadow of confrontation in his heart, trying not to be a parent and protecting his wife and children. But Nai He's invisible big hand is so powerful that it screams in despair like a trapped beast.

Several montages in this episode compared the similarities and differences between father and son, especially in Figure 6, which made me shudder. I thought it was a special effect that synthesized the faces of Benny and Hugo Weaving, but after a closer look, I found that the face was Benny. Being able to handle every detail so ingeniously, I am truly convinced of this level of business.
