After breaking up with Qi Zhijie, Mu Xun went from being an illegitimate son to the city's most famous young heir. For years, he had flaunted his wealth and basked in his family's favor.
Everyone knew the newly returned darling of the Mu family was not to be trifled with. Yet there was always someone foolish enough to provoke him.
Like that damn Qi Zhijie.
He dared to challenge Mu Xun at an auction with a bid of 13 million.
He even carried him out of a bar in front of everyone.
He humiliated Mu Xun, who had always gotten his way.
.
"Can you get your position straight, Qi Zhijie? You're just one of my many ex-boyfriends."
"I know my place. I'm your most troublesome ex-boyfriend."
"..."
.
Whatever Mu Xun wanted, this all-capable man could make it happen.
Want a lotus-shaped censer? He'd get him one.
Want a business partnership? He'd negotiate it.
Want to make money? He'd help.
"Don't think that means I'll be overcome with gratitude."
"I don't want you to be overcome with gratitude. I want you to give yourself to me."
"..."
.
To avenge being abandoned three years ago, Mu Xun began plotting against this man who kept throwing himself at him.
He used himself as bait, pretending to welcome him.
He made this older man fall in love, just as Mu Xun had once fallen in love with him.
Then, just as the older man had once done to him, he would dump him without mercy.
When Qi Zhijie loved him most, Mu Xun left with someone else's hand in his.
"A Xun, what does this mean?"
"I don't think we're that close, Mr. Qi." Mu Xun crossed his legs and gave him a cold look.
"We're not close?" The man spoke, his tone unmistakably challenging. "But A Xun, I even know how many moles you have on your waist."
"Someone else could know that too, Mr. Qi."
.
"Hey, could you try falling for me again?"
"Hey, do you know what 'too late' means?"
.
Through these long, lonely years, I knew there would be someone who could make me let go of my arrogance and prejudice, and redefine the meaning of love.

Blurb for the upcoming novel
They say Shen Yan went to great lengths to win over the gorgeous Wen Yan.
Everyone thought the playboy had finally settled down, but no one expected Shen Yan, with a beautiful lover already at his side, to start frequenting places of pleasure again.
At a dinner party, someone teased him: "Teacher Wen became famous young and is incredibly talented. What, have you gotten bored of the genius calligrapher too?"
Shen Yan didn't even raise his eyes. "He's a block of wood, stiff and boring. I've been bored for ages."
Indeed, Wen Yan was famous in their circle for his beauty, and equally famous for being stiff and proper.
Wen Yan saw how brazen Shen Yan was.
"I want to get married."
"Don't be silly. Things are good the way they are."
*
The next day, news of Wen Yan's engagement spread across the city.
The groom wasn't Shen Yan.
It was Shen Yan's archenemy, Ji Zhiyuan.
*
Ji Zhiyuan was aloof, arrogant, and cold. Even though he was handsome and rich, no one dared approach him casually.
On a rainy night, Wen Yan, eyes red, knocked on Ji Zhiyuan's door. "Do you want to make Shen Yan lose face?"
Aloof Ji Zhiyuan: "Of course."
Wen Yan: "Then marry me."
Cold Ji Zhiyuan: "All right."
...That was way too quick. Wen Yan hadn't even squeezed out a tear yet.
*
Shen Yan only realized too late that Wen Yan had said he wanted to get married, but had never said he wanted Shen Yan to marry him.
He never imagined he would lose so miserably one day.
Just as Wen Yan never imagined he would get what he wanted so easily.
From beginning to end, all Wen Yan wanted was Ji Zhiyuan.
After the wedding, Wen Yan was wondering how he should win Ji Zhiyuan over.
Ji Zhiyuan: Cuddle with me, wife.
Wen Yan: ?
He told everyone, whether they wanted to hear it or not: "How did you know I got married? That's right, I'm married to Teacher Wen."
Wen Yan: ??
*
"You didn't marry me just to get back at Shen Yan, did you?"
"There's only one reason I would get married."
"What is it?"
"My spouse is Teacher Wen."
*
Ji Zhiyuan had been secretly in love with Wen Yan for years, and had waited eagerly until Wen Yan finally set a hook for him.
*
When Wen Yan realized he was the one who'd been played, he couldn't be bothered to keep up his refined, proper persona. He clung to the man's waist and acted coy.
"You're done pretending?"
"I'm done pretending. Let's be honest with each other."
That night, the sofa collapsed.
Wen Yan: "Maybe you should pretend a little after all?"
Ji Zhiyuan: "I'm done pretending."
[Bonus Scene]
"Still don't know how to smoke this thing, do you?" Behind the beaded curtain, the man smiled faintly. He lifted the cigarette holder to his lips and exhaled a stream of white smoke.
It was the first time Wen Yan had seen Ji Zhiyuan since coming of age.
Outside the blue-green beaded curtain, Wen Yan stood tall and graceful. He slowly approached the man, reached out, and plucked the cigarette from between his fingers. With a smooth motion, he held it by the filter, put it to his lips, leaned forward, and breathed a stream of white smoke toward the man's dignified face.
A trace of teasing appeared in Wen Yan's eyes as he stared deeply at the man. He still said nothing, merely stubbed out the cigarette, still trailing smoke, in a glass ashtray.
The man suddenly craned his neck and moved close to Wen Yan. "Your calligraphy really is beautiful."
"Is the calligraphy beautiful, but not the calligrapher?" Wen Yan didn't back away.
The man looked up. His gaze was anything but innocent. "Teacher Wen, a person's writing reflects who they are."
Note: Shen Yan is a scummy supporting character, extremely scummy. He is not the gong, and he is a playboy who realizes things too late. hzc.
Wen Yan was never in love with Shen Yan, and nothing physical happened between them.
Wen Yan and Ji Zhiyuan have mutual unrequited feelings.
A story written with abandon. I'll post it once I have a stockpile of chapters!
Theme: Pursue yourself, and help each other flourish in love
I don't know why, I prefer the ending of the parallel world. No one will wait for you forever?
This ending is very real and in line with reality. Let alone three years ago, the deepest relationship I was in took less than fourteen days to get over after the breakup. (I haven't read the pirated version. I bought this chapter because I thought the last chapter was interesting after reading the reviews. I haven't read the previous ones, so don't come here if you're a bastard)
This episode is great. I hope Mu Xun is really with someone else after hearing that he got married, because I am the kind of person who can let go very much, and I hope that all the people who are left behind can let go and live a good life. If he wants to hide it, let him get what he wants (I admit that I am very vindictive)
After reading it, I couldn't stop writing long reviews to support Yangyang! I can really achieve the love of reunion and two-way redemption! The one who bears the reputation of being an illegitimate child, is cast aside by others, is used by his mother as a tool to take revenge on his father, and is like mud that can be stepped into by anyone who sees it; the one who is from a superior family but is imprisoned by shackles, who is still lonely even if the stars are all around him, who is pushed into the enviable position of heir against his will, loses his freedom and is bound to the cold Lan Jing, and almost loses himself as well. Seeing Muxun being so high-profile in the auction house and so comfortable in the bar, all domineering and careless, it is difficult to connect him with the cautious and humble look he had when facing Ji Zhilun three years ago. Qi Zhijie once reflected on himself, even if it took him three years to finally earn this hard-won freedom for himself, even if he could finally come to Ah Xun as just Qi Zhijie instead of Prince Zehua, but three years was indeed too long, and it took him until Ah Xun became what he is today. He is no longer a little lamb who can be bullied by others. Now Mu Xun does not dare to offend anyone easily. It's hard to imagine how much criticism, embarrassment, ridicule and belittlement Mu Xun has gone through over the years to become invulnerable. He can say calmly, "Who makes him the only young master here?" But all the cynical pretense fell apart the moment he reunited with Qi Zhijie. To him, Qi Zhijie was the lover whom he had longed for for a long time but could never get the answer to his question "Why did he leave so quietly?" Time passed by and could never wear away his love, so when he appeared in Mu Xun's sight unexpectedly, it could make his blood flow backwards and completely block out the noise around him. Mu Xun is the best at putting on airs. He obviously loves Qi Zhijie so much that he can't help himself. He is obviously very happy to see him, but he still complains that "you will be unappetizing to me early in the morning", "three mouthfuls of a big bun", "and grilled sausages and milk tea". It is said that everyone in the business world knows what kind of government and scheming the prince of Zehua possesses, and he can easily stir up troubles in the business world with just a move of his fingers. But when facing Mu Xun, he was willing to exchange 13 million for 19 hours of companionship, and he felt that it was a good deal. In fact, it's not just Muxun whose love lasts forever? Qi Zhijie loved Muxun, so much that he still understood him, including his body, after not seeing him for many years, so much that he could easily tell what he was doing when he was brushing his teeth by listening to his muffled voice over the phone, so much that he remembered that he liked to drink sweet soy milk, egg tarts and chocolate-flavored cookies. Qi Zhijie is really venomous. From the "dog leash" Chen Si to the "zebra" Lu Zhizhou, even if he chases his wife to the crematorium, he is so mean to Mu Xun that it makes people grit their teeth. How could Muxun let go of Qi Zhijie? He admitted his love for Qi Zhijie in his heart, but even if he was so stubborn that his eyes turned red, he could never say forgiveness. He gritted his teeth and refused to bow to him, let alone confess to him the fact that he had been waiting for him at the origin for three years. He asked Qi Zhijie "why", probably also asking himself how he was worth it. It was he who chose to leave silently, scorning his naked sincerity with money and harsh words. In Mu Xun's view, it was Qi Zhijie who made the mistake three years ago, so why should he forgive him and why should he stand there waiting for him. Three years ago, Mu Xun and Qi Zhijie had just met. He was made things difficult by Qiu Ze, and was beaten so badly that his nose and face were bruised and swollen, and even the only relic left by his mother was taken away. The little Xun who lay dying in the rain was so embarrassed that he couldn't do anything. Even an old man with a weird temper like He Jing and an old man like Qi Zhijie who was indifferent couldn't help but feel sorry for him. When A Xun was most helpless and desperate, when he was almost suffocating from pain, Qi Zhijie's appearance was a salvation. What's more, he said, "He's not a little bastard." He picked up tiny scraps of jade in the rain and stayed up for several days to carve a unique piece for him. He also said, "Go home, A Xun." Perhaps they were destined to be entangled for a lifetime from then on. But three years ago, Qi Zhijie did not dare to admit and face his love for Ah Xun, so when he found something was wrong, when he received the email from his father, he chose to retreat, choose to avoid it, and chose to care about Ah Xun in the name of "brother". But affection is not so easy to withdraw and hide, so once Ah Xun teases him on purpose, he can't resist it and can't stop. "Eating meat is good, I love eating meat, hehehehehe." It was so exciting when Uncle He came back, as if he was almost caught having an affair. Although life was difficult for Muxun at that time, he was still optimistic and full of vitality. He was only eighteen years old, which was the best age. He could work many jobs without fear of hard work for the motorcycle he wanted, could wear a leather jacket and feel the cool wind covering his whole body, and could wait year after year for what Lao Qi wrote in his letter: "Waiting for the hibiscus to bloom, waiting for me to come back." When I saw this, I couldn't help but wonder, if the letter had not been thrown away by Ji Zhilun, would Ah Xun have been waiting in Manhe, just like watching the hibiscus bloom and fall? The answer must be yes. So I couldn't help but be glad that Ji Zhilun threw away the letter. Otherwise, wouldn't it be that Ah Xun between the two of them had been standing there waiting for the distant agreement? Why are you wasting your time for him? Is it worth it? He watched the hibiscus bloom and fade, and waited so persistently for the day when Lao Qi really came back. He didn't blame Qi Zhijie for missing the appointment or deliberately embarrass him. He simply told Lao Qi his answer. They are together, but only the two of them know. This was nothing at first, but when Ji Zhilun humiliated him, it all became a step-by-step plan for Qi Zhijie to leave. The time spent in Manhe was so beautiful, as carefree as a paradise, so unreal that it made people worried about gains and losses, for fear that it would disappear in the blink of an eye. Reunited after a long absence three years later, Qi Zhijie also knew that he had done something wrong, so he kept making up for it. The amusement park in exchange for 13 million, the jade pendant carved from fine jade from Wanbao Tower that Ah Xun once said he wanted, the "Happy New Year" he voluntarily said, and the "Let's go see the snow together" that has been delayed and failed to come true... But even if he pretended not to care, in fact whenever something happened to Qi Zhijie, Mu Xun would be worried to death. Qi Zhijie provoked the Jin family, and Mu Xun left Chen Si behind and ran after him quickly. Every line in Yangyang's words was filled with Ah Xun's concern for Lao Qi; Lao Qi had a long gash after climbing over the wall, and Mu Xun couldn't help but feel soft; when Lao Qi had a fever When he didn't come to the meeting, he couldn't control his emotions and asked A Mo, "You have a fever? Why didn't anyone tell me?", And because he couldn't worry about him, he rushed to his house to take care of him... Qi Zhijie's acting skills were actually poor, but Mu Xun was so caring that he was confused. Mu Xun's birthday was undoubtedly not a happy one. Even though there were many guests who came to celebrate, and even though the exquisite gifts he received were piled up in the warehouse, few of them really suited his liking. There were also only a few people who came to wish him a happy birthday just because he was Mu Xun. It's hard to imagine that an antique-like old man would be turned away because he didn't have an invitation, and would climb over the wall to see him after pretending to leave. But there is no doubt that even though he is limping, he is still full of energy, and even though he is obviously in a embarrassing situation, he is still proud of the world. Qi Zhijie always thought that the wood grass looked like a little lamb, but the little lamb could bite people when it got anxious. (Isn't Qi Laogou just... A big-tailed wolf?) So after being exhausted physically and mentally, his Ah Xun finally coaxed him into loving him so much that he couldn't help himself, and then pushed him into the abyss with disdain, leading Lu Zhizhou and pretending to sneer at him, and severely slandered him when he loved him deeply. Doesn't Qi Zhijie know that his Ah Xun is lying to him? Don't you know that all this is as unreal as a dream? He knew it, but he was happy with it. When the jade fell into the wastebasket, I truly felt how determined Mu Xun was. When Qi Zhijieyun was rummaging through the wastebasket for the fragments of the sheep's horn and couldn't find them, when he cried in panic because they couldn't be repaired, it really hurt my heart! A piece of the horn is missing, and if you can't find the gap, it can't be repaired, just like their relationship. Later, seeing the way Lu Zhizhou and Mu Xundeng were facing each other, Qi Zhijie finally decided to let go. Although this man did not open his mouth, he had a pair of beautiful hands/dog head. In the email, he explained to Mu Xun many things that he could not say. He only hoped that his Ah Xun would always be the child who lived in the sun and grew in the spring breeze, even if he was no longer around him. The untold truth concealed by that crucial letter has finally been revealed. Ji Zhilun... I love and hate him. It's really hard not to love the character of Du Wei's younger brother, but between Mu Xun and Qi Zhijie, Ji Zhilun is indeed a big obstacle. He threw away the letter, said unpleasant words, and later deceived Qi Zhijie to go home for Ji Menghua... But he finally chose to drag Ji Menghua and let Qi Zhijie go free. I love poison only. I only have filters for poison hahaha/dog head But the problem between the two is more than just a matter of Ji Zhi Lun. What Mu Xun couldn't get over was the fact that Qi Zhijie ignored his wishes and thought he was good to him, leaving him alone in Manhe to face the dangers of Lan Jing alone. "Why don't you ask me if I would like to accompany you to a city that is always frozen." They have known each other for six years and have been together for two months and five days. During this period, the time they spent together was actually not long, but Qi Zhijie gave him many romantic promises, such as touching love words, from the amusement park to "watching the snow together". So Mu Xun would think of him no matter what he saw or heard. Even when Lu Zhizhou talked about going to Hokkaido to see the snow, A Xun was thinking of him in a daze. If they were really together, how long would it take for Lu Zhizhou to erase all the memories of Qi Zhijie in Ah Xun's mind. Perhaps because of the seven-year age difference, Mu Xun, who was in his twenties three years later, still looked like an immature child in front of Qi Zhijie. But this sincere and gentle child left Lao Qi at a loss. When he decided to let go and help Ah Xun and Lu Zhizhou, it was obvious that the misunderstanding had been resolved and that he was already alone, but he still did not have the courage to approach him. (When I saw the symmetrical wounds on the corners of Lao Qi and Zebra's mouths, they were a little bit embarrassed. What's going on?) While standing at the airport, Mu Xun was betting that his Lao Qi would not let him leave just like that. His Lao Qi did not disappoint him. Even if he was beaten to pieces with a stick, even if he was crawling, he still had to get to the airport before two o'clock. In the end, Ah Xun won this bet. Although Qiuman let Mu Liangqi know that Mu Xun's existence was deliberately hidden from him, causing Mu Liangqi to suffer mental torture every night. But it is undeniable that Qiuman does love Ah Xun, and the impression she left on Ah Xun has always been that of gentleness, beauty, and romance. She also taught Mu Xun that "no matter what kind of environment you are in, you can live your life the way you want." Qiu Man's death was an indelible pain in Mu Xun's heart, and it was always indirectly caused by him. In fact, Mu Xun was still the sensitive child with low self-esteem in his heart. He received too little care and habitually took all accidents and unforeseen tragedies on himself. Fortunately, everything that Mu Xun was missing was being made up bit by bit. Mu Xun received the protection of He Jing, the first place he could call "home", and the love of Mu Liangqi. During these years when he mistakenly thought that he had been abandoned and deceived by Qi Zhijie, although he was deeply in love and in jail, he was always surrounded by Chen Si, Lu Zhizhou, and Qi Zhijie, who was obviously not by his side but was all-pervasive. He said, "Let's go home." As for Qi Zhijie, he felt that he had lost his home when he left the big house full of white jasmine flowers at the age of seven. He should have found a well-matched woman to marry from his grandfather and mother who he may not have loved but was well-matched. He should have firmly sat in the position of Chairman Zehua and been a member of the Ji family who had no freedom in his life. But it's different. The whole point of pursuing power and fame for him is to get that little bit of love that is not pure. He was lost in the frozen city, living like a zombie, until he met and fell in love with the child who illuminated him like a beam of soft light. From now on, the place where A Xun is is his home. Similarly, where he is is also Asun's home. He said to Ah Xun, "Let's go home." He was going back to our home. I feel so sorry for Lu Zhizhou, he is so affectionate that he is humbled by his love. He is willing to go to an antique store that he is not interested in in order to accommodate Mu Xun's preferences; because he is watching the game - even if it is only live online and not at the scene, he still wants to make a comeback; even if he knows that he only has eyes for Qi Zhijie, he is willing to endure the long wait; even if he knows that he is just cooperating with his acting partner, he can't help but covet the warmth of his palms and the position of his boyfriend next to him. In the end, he still couldn't fly away with his wood. He just held the two tickets to witness the joy and happiness of his wood with his own eyes. He definitely didn't want Mu Xun, who had completely ended his relationship with Qi Zhijie, to turn into the dull, wooden boy he was when they first met. When Lu Zhizhou said in his acceptance speech, "I will win every next game for myself and you." He must not be able to completely let go of Mu Xun, but he has begun to let it go slowly, trying to say goodbye to Mu Xun bit by bit. At first, Ji Menghua was a little angry. If he had not restricted Qi Zhijie to the position of Prince Zehua, perhaps Qi Zhijie would have been much happier, and he and Mu Xun would not have missed so much. But we cannot deny that he is kind to Qi Zhijie, but in such a family, he cannot be a grandpa who simply dotes on his grandson. He also has to consider the interests of all Zehua. Because of the businessman's position, he was forced to make such a choice. Sometimes people really have to go through some serious illness and pain before they can understand the truth that they never understood in the past. Just as he finally took the initiative to meet Mu Xun, took the initiative to give him the things for his grandson's wife, and took the initiative to recognize his identity. Both he and Ji Shu have been tightly shackled by the Ji family all their lives, and they have never even thought about fighting for freedom. Because Qi Zhijie met Mu Xun, he became greedy for human kindness and warmth, so as not to lose himself. This time, in Lanjing, they finally didn't miss it again. They saw the snow together. Fortunately for Qi Zhijie and Mu Xun, they have an enlightened mother/father. Perhaps it is precisely because Ji Shu herself has become a tool for Qi's father to hide the fact that he likes men, because he regrets or regrets that he did not fight for freedom for himself and did not choose the marriage he really wanted. Therefore, whether Qi Zhijie likes a man or a woman, as long as he likes her and makes him happy, she is willing to make it happen. She hopes that her son will not make the same mistakes as her, but can pursue the love and freedom he wants along with her. There is no need to express the embarrassment of Mu Xun's identity, but Mu Liangqi really dotes on and indulges him. He never forces the heir of the Mu family not to like men, and he is reluctant to let anyone bully Mu Xun. It is commendable that both Ji Shu and Mu Liangqi quickly accepted the partner chosen by their son. About Mu Tang. At first, I thought she was an arrogant young lady with serious princess disease, but I ignored that if there was no Mu Xun, then she would be the successor of the Mu family. Before Mu Xun returned to the Mu family, Mu Tang should have been raised as a successor. Because of Mu Xun, she lost her mother, so she hated Mu Xun, but Mu Xun didn't care. Later, Mu Xun attended Mu Tang's parent-teacher meeting, and I think they began to have a little change in their view of each other at that time. As Mu Xun said, "He can't choose his origin," so what's wrong with having an illegitimate child? What's wrong with Mu Xun? It's very satisfying that the two can finally reach an awkward reconciliation. Zehua was handed over to Ji Zhilun, and Mu was handed over to Mu Tang. Only then could they finally go out alone to squeeze the mud together, and finally be able to live the life they like and want. May the flowers last forever, and we may live happily together in the future! OS. Looking for a wooden house... Looking for wood... Wooden wood... I tasted it carefully, and I tasted it/dog head. After being able to play green tea, he became a vinegar spirit, and the old dog who worried about gain and loss finally had a mouth after torturing Ah Xun with PTSD! Not only do you know that your mouth is for talking, but you also know how to kiss and talk about love! Glad! Yangyang and I said that we would go together to a place where romance is blooming all over the mountains and plains. Although it's a little late, I'm still here!
I feel like this is the final outcome of reality, but forget it, I love HE
In fact, I feel that the last episode is more realistic. Three years is really enough time to forget a deep-seated relationship.
I think I've waited. It's good. This ending is good, as long as everyone is happy this winter.
Help, I was very happy watching it before, but this episode made me cry.
The aura of the main palace, competing for the top spot
Qizhijie, look how much you missed!
