Synopsis
"Yue Lao came down to earth and became a straight man"——Introduction Old Man Yuexia, an old immortal with three thousand years of service in heaven, was kicked down to earth by the Jade Emperor because his matchmaking rate was at the bottom every year. System requirements: Match four male and female couples within one hundred days, otherwise your fairy status will be permanently removed. He possessed a programmer named Lu Tinglan and dragged his broken right leg out of the hospital, only to find that the world was crazy - women were in no rush to get married, men were in no rush to get married, and some people said with confidence, "I live well on my own." What's even worse is his roommate named Xie Zhi. Even though she doesn't have a single red line in her body and is a "lone star", she still makes different tricks every day to cook for him, pay utility bills, and say good night to him in the middle of the night. Lu Tinglan wanted to hide, but the red line on her wrist, which had not been lit for 3,700 years, was as hot as if it was about to burn every time she came near Xie Zhi. He counted with his fingers - this person had no roots, no marriage, no debts, and was as clean as a piece of white paper. Yue Lao panicked. After holding the red thread for 3,700 years, he discovered for the first time that the thread that could not be pulled, could not be avoided, and made people's hearts ache--it turned out to be his own. During the day, he was busy helping others, and at night, he was hiding from himself in a panic. Before the four pairs of KPIs were completed, I fell in first. But Xie Zhi refused to give in. He blocked him in the kitchen and asked, "What are you hiding from?" Lu Tinglan clutched the spatula, her ears red: "... I'm allergic." Xie Zhi looked at him for three seconds and smiled: "What are you allergic to?" "…To the light." Xie Zhi turned off the kitchen light. In the darkness, I reached out and pinched his earlobe: "What now? Are you still allergic?" Lu Tinglan: "... I'm even more allergic." One hundred days. Four couples. A debt collector who can't be shaken off no matter what. Yue Lao lived for 3,700 years and finally learned that the red thread can lead everyone in the world, but there is only one person, and he has to walk through it himself. "You owe me." Xie Zhi put the umbrella into his hand in the rain, turned around and left, "Thirteen thousand eight, plus interest." Lu Tinglan held up an umbrella and chased after him: "How much interest?" Xie Zhi didn't even look back: "Three lives and three lives." Later, Lu Tinglan learned that he had been waiting for him in heaven for three thousand years before. ——When Yue Lao came down to earth, he originally wanted to hold someone else's red thread, but in the end, his own red thread led someone away. His name is Xie Zhi. The holding of the child's hand. Concept: "Yue Lao comes down to earth and becomes a straight man" - Concept (400 words) Yuelao has held the red thread for three thousand years and witnessed countless marriages, but he has always stood on the outside. He understood all the laws of love, but never understood love itself. Until he was demoted to the mortal world and met the person who had no red lines on his body, but made his red lines hot. This is a story about "bystanders entering the game". Yue Lao thought that the red line was determined by fate, but later he realized that what really binds two people is the moment of "I choose you." He matched four couples, and each of them told him the same thing: love is not a formula, and it doesn't happen as soon as a red thread is pulled. Wen Shiyu likes him, but her happiness is not tied to him; Song Zhiyi refuses marriage, but her life is still complete; Chi Wan plays in the world, but she also longs to be treated sincerely. And his deepest realization came in front of Xie Zhi. Xie Zhi is "destined to have a lack of fate" and is destined to have no marriage - but this person just uses three meals a day, good night late at night, and an umbrella in the rain to turn all "shouldn'ts" into "I do". Yue Lao finally admitted that he had been avoiding his own red thread for 3,700 years. The point of the story is not how many couples have been married, but the person who taught others to love each other and finally allowed himself to be loved. The red thread is the tool, and the heart is the destination. Heaven says that men and women are the right way, but the real "right way" is the courage to defy the rules and choose what you love. When Lu Tinglan held Xie Zhi's hand and said he would not return to heaven, what he was going through was not someone else's love disaster—it was his own.
