The Happiness of Lu Zhen from Our Shore

[Fanfiction based on the TV series My Shore and its original novel Four-Faced Buddha, picking up where the original ends. Since the source material is relatively obscure, I’ll do my best to explain the characters and their storylines. You can also read this as an original story.] [This story is connected to my fanfiction for Against Love, Transmigrate and Save Wang Shuo’s Life. Wang Shuo and his boyfriend will appear as supporting characters… Both stories are about saving tragic supporting characters, haha.] Lu Zhen once had a fairly happy relationship. But when the handsome, rich, and powerful Fan Xiao suddenly began flirting with him relentlessly, the young Lu Zhen couldn’t resist the temptation. He broke up with You Shulang, only to discover that Fan Xiao had really set his sights on You Shulang. In the end, Lu Zhen was left with nothing. From then on, Lu Zhen shut himself off from love, focused entirely on making money, and sank into deep self-loathing. A few years later, Lu Zhen met Li Chengjun, who was nearly ten years older than him. Li Chengjun was powerful, influential, handsome, and wealthy. Lu Zhen, meanwhile, was tired of struggling to get by and at a difficult turning point in his career. Each had something the other wanted, so they hit it off at once. But Lu Zhen kept thinking about his gentle, considerate ex-boyfriend, You Shulang, and assumed Li Chengjun was only after his good looks. He had no idea that Li Chengjun, cold and ruthless on the outside, had already fallen for him before he even realized it…
