The photo of the kiss had more than 80,000 retweets in just one day, surpassing that of a popular singer who was about to give a concert. After that, he would sometimes post some photos of the two of them together with some interesting words, which attracted a lot of attention. People loved the eye contact and natural interaction between the two. Although Zhuo Yue had faded out of the entertainment industry, he had successfully reached the state of ‘The brother is no longer in the world, but still a legend in the world’.
That evening, the two of them had dinner in a quiet private kitchen. Zhuo Yue had a bit of red wine, giving his complexion a faint rosiness. He handed a card to Fang Mingyan, saying, “This is for you; the password is 860512.”
The man asked with some amusement, “Why? Are you afraid that I can’t support you?”
He shook his head and said seriously, “This is the money I earned, and there is still some left after I paid off the debt I owe you, um… because we’ve been discussing wedding plans; lately, I can’t let you bear all the expenses alone…”
“Oh, so this is your dowry,” Fang Mingyan teased, lifting Zhuo Yue’s blushing face. “Bringing both yourself and your assets over, aren’t you afraid I might deceive you and leave you with nothing?”
Zhuo Yue, slightly tipsy, blinked and replied, “Then you should marry me and consider these as betrothal gifts.”
“…You really dare to say that.” The man gritted his teeth.
So Zhuo Yue, who was in a daze, was taken back to the den by the Lion and tortured hard all night and finally reached an agreement on the issue of marriage and marriage in tears.
He and Fang Mingyan chose Finland as their wedding venue. They travelled around Northern Europe and wrote interesting travel notes to share with their fans. He also posted many picturesque photos. One day in late March, they posted two photos on the internet at the same time.
The first picture showed two people kissing under the gorgeous aurora sky.
The second picture showed two hands holding each other, with the same ring on the ring finger and the same silver chain on the wrist shining with moving light.
In this way, they announced their wedding news to all those who cared about them.
In the second year after their marriage, news spread that Fang Mingyan would direct a movie again. This well-produced historical war film, backed by a strong team, is financed by Huasheng and features ‘Zhuo Yue’ in the lead role.
This was also the reason why Fang Mingyan put so much effort into acquiring that film and television company.
He wanted to make a movie just for that person.
Regarding this matter, the old man Fang asked as usual, “With such high investment, what if the box office is dismal? Your company might not even survive. Have you thought this through?”
“Yes.”
“Okay, go for it.”
The movie was released in the spring of the following year and grossed 300 million at the box office. It also received a high rating of 9.6 online. In the final scene, Zhuo Yue, blood-stained in white robes and holding a silver spear, stood alone outside the city gates. His face, stained with blood, portrayed a resolute determination to face death bravely, yet his dishevelled hair blowing in the wind evoked a sense of desolate sorrow.
Under Fang Mingyan’s lens, Zhuo Yue quietly stared at everything from the screen as if there were a whole world in his black eyes. That gaze, like a sharp blade, penetrated everyone’s heart as if it could read all the sorrows, joys, and happiness, moving people.
That year, Zhuo Yue was nominated for the Silver Star Award for Best Actor with an overwhelming majority of votes. But ultimately, he missed out on the award due to doubts and obstructions from some judges. Fang Mingyan, on the other hand, won the Best Director award.
When the award was presented, the man walked up to the stage and said coldly, “I question the organizing committee’s judging criteria. Because in my opinion, Zhuo Yue’s acting skills are obviously much better than that of the winner. So, I refuse to accept the award. Thank you.” Then. He walked off the stage neatly, took Zhuo Yue’s hand and left.
The chairman of the organising committee was furious and said to Fang Zihe, the guest of honour, who was sitting by the side of the stage, “Your son is really…”
“What? If it wasn’t for my face, you wouldn’t even give him this award.” The old man Fang glared at him, “A bunch of old antiques, you guys don’t even adhere to basic fairness and yet still judge awards.” After he finished speaking, He also left, leaving the other party alone and too angry to speak.
After hearing about this, Zhuo Yue laughed so much that he almost fell off the sofa and said, “The chairman is going to be angry. Your dad is one year older than him.”
Fang Mingyan glanced at him leisurely and repeated, “Your Dad?”
Zhuo Yue blushed a little and corrected, “Our Dad.”
“The weather is nice. Do you want to go out for a walk?” the man looked out the window and asked.
“Okay.” Zhuo Yue put on his coat and fastened the buttons for him one by one.
The spring sun shone warmly on his body, the grass was green again, early flowers bloomed on the branches, and the wind smelled of fresh earth.
Fang Mingyan walked slowly toward the lake side by side with him and asked, “Are you angry that you didn’t win the prize?”
Zhuo Yue shook his head, grabbed the man’s hand and said with a blush, “I already got what I wanted, so I don’t care about that.”
Fang Mingyan smiled, took off his coat and put it on him, and then clenched his slightly cold hand again.
“Master.”
“Hm?”
“When you are not busy, how about we invite the Second Young Master and the others to go to Li Island to play together?”
“Okay.”
When the strong winds blow away the years, and white snow covers our hair,
I still wish to stand by his side, holding his hand, kissing his cheek.
Perhaps, this is what luck truly means.
To meet in this lifetime, to love each other, to keep our vows, and to walk hand in hand for the rest of our lives.
I run towards you with courage and hope, please open your arms and embrace me.
If love reigns supreme, I am willing to submit, forever and ever, never to forsake.

(Old)Author’s Note:
The story of Lion and Zhuo Yue ends here. WWell, some readers said they couldn’t get enough of it, but I think this is a good sign, at least it means that this article is not boring. I’ll revise the entire text again later, clarify the logical relationships in detail, and repost parts of it online when I find the time.
I don’t usually beg readers to leave comments, but I read every single one of them, and sometimes I laugh out loud at my computer. To be honest, it’s very motivating to see messages.
The stumbling pairing of Fang Mingyan and Zhuo Yue has many more ups and downs than the pairing of Chu Yu and Xu Ye. This is also the one where I described the plot in a relatively detailed way. It has still gone through major revisions in the middle, and it is not easy to catch up with the readers now?(? ???ω??? ?)?, thank you for liking it.
If I’m lucky enough to publish it again, it will definitely contain two extras. Of course, it will be meaty; I’ve made a promise.
