Fan Yue was once the only light in Lu Wenyuan's world. He burst into it in the most dazzling way, then used the cruelest methods to cast invisible shadows over Lu Wenyuan. But after Lu Wenyuan offered him his complete loyalty, Fan Yue sneered and told him to disappear forever.
Lu Wenyuan thought ten years would be enough to break free from the past and become the calm, self-possessed Lawyer Lu. But one phone call from Fan Yue easily reduced him to his former self.
Fan Yue said he didn't have long to live. With his master dead, what was to become of his stray dog?
Fan Yue: "Back then, you refused to be my best man. So now, would you be willing to be my divorce lawyer?"
Fan Yue: "Lu Wenyuan, whenever I see a vicious dog, I want to put it on a leash. I'm sick, you know that."
Lu Wenyuan: "That chain is already gone. I've deleted you completely from my life."
"Wenyuan, do you really want to be free that badly?"
No. I don't. I only want you to love me.
"Lu Wenyuan, I want to be a debt you'll never be able to repay in this lifetime. I want the leash around your neck to stay in my hand forever."
Please note! This is a bad ending! A bad ending!! A bad ending!!! Those who insist on happy endings or spotless characters, please beware!

Great author, how can you be worse than Fan Yue! What answer did he say! Don't think I won't know if you don't tell me! You secretly changed the last lyric, and this is the answer! It says it all! I announce: Lu Wenyuan finally got the answer he wanted! 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭
But Fan Yue, are you so bad that you refused to write your name with Lu Wenyuan in the end? 😭 You just want Lu Wenyuan to love and hate you all his life, but never forget you, right? 😭
Fan Yue did not go to the orphanage to see Lu Wenyuan after that rainy day, so how could he do such a thing! So he really went, right? That's not Lu Wenyuan's hallucination, right? 😭
Ah 😭 He didn't lose it 😭 This is their love token 😭
I cried until I hiccuped 😭 It's so powerless. I really don't know who to blame in this tragedy. Fan Yue is a perfect top student in front of his mother, and he cannot make her sad. Mom was "protected" very well, but she inadvertently put all the pressure on Fan Yue. Fan Yue loves Wen Yuan and his mother at the same time. All his "selfishness" and "viciousness" must be self-punishment! Fan Yue's father is missing from the entire story. This blank space is also great, so Xiao Yue did not grow up in a loving family. His growing environment may be more lonely than Lu Wenyuan's orphanage.
I was really shocked when I saw it for the first time! Fan Yue was really cruel to Lu Wenyuan! But there is really no way to scold him and hate him. His pain was no less than that of Lu Wenyuan, he was in pain as much as Lu Wenyuan was in pain. But he always uses cruel language to say the opposite meaning, so Lu Wenyuan doesn't know how much he loves him 😭
At that time, he wanted to hold a wedding with you, right? 😭
Ah... Are you coming back to your senses... Crying to death?
The BGM lyrics have said everything clearly. But I am so sad!
No, he just wants you to love him 😭 😭 😭
