After leaving the departnt store, because she encountered soone annoying today, Cecilia Vaughn was in a bad mood.
"Not happy?"
The man smiled slightly and reached out to brush the girl’s hair.
Cecilia glanced back at the luxurious and grand departnt building, unable to resist teasing.
"How could I not be happy, at least today I helped you make a big money again, Adrian, so this mall is also your property!"
The last ti she randomly visited an entire shopping street, it turned out to be Adrian Law’s again!
This departnt store is very high-end with a great location, wanting to open such a chain super-store, not to ntion the profit, even the monthly purchase price is shocking.
...
Adrian Law looked indifferent, lovingly tucking Cecilia’s stray hair behind her ear.
"Cecilia, what’s mine is yours, isn’t that good?"
"..."
That makes a lot of sense, although she initially signed a marriage contract that didn’t take a penny, the man didn’t care about these things at all. Considering Adrian Law’s wealth, even if he gave her one-tenth, she’d be rich as a tycoon!
Cecilia suddenly felt like she was a nouveau riche.
...
The girl bashfully smiled a little, and coincidentally there was a cinema in front, so she imdiately grabbed Adrian’s hand.
"Adrian, let’s go watch a movie."
The man looked at Cecilia’s sparkling almond eyes, utterly unable to refuse.
"Okay."
...
Walking into the cinema, Cecilia browsed the nearby billboards and was imdiately drawn to an impressive retro poster on it.
The movie was titled "You are the Sun and Moon in My Heart", featuring renowned actors from the entertainnt world. The clothing style of the characters in the poster suggested a setting from decades ago.
The tagline was simple: Five years of waiting, eagerly anticipated, the sun and moon bloom for you.
Perhaps due to its niche the, this film had been shelved for a full five years before finally being allowed to release.
...
"Oh, this seems to be a movie by Director Chapman! It’s the first ti I’ve seen him make a movie that’s not a period piece."
Adrian Law heard this, and his phoenix eyes flickered slightly.
Arthur Chapman...
"If you like this director, then let’s go watch it."
"Sure, let’s pick this one. Arthur Chapman has a stellar reputation for making serious films. I really liked his previous movie ’Brocade River and Mountain’. "
Cecilia said, a look of longing in her almond eyes.
"If a director like him could take interest in the manga I’ve written and adapt it to the screen, I’d be too excited to sleep for a month."
"..."
If it’s really a month without sleep, I probably shouldn’t get in touch with him.
Adrian Law chuckled at her words and ruffled Cecilia’s hair.
"Talking nonsense again, Cecilia. Nowadays IP is popular, you might have a chance too."
Cecilia looked up and sighed, knowing that Director Chapman never shot popular IPs; if not based on pre-existing events, he usually selects classic literature. How could a small fry like her catch Director Chapman’s eye!
"I’ll take your blessing then."
...
Cecilia bought a bucket of popcorn and two cups of milk tea and sat with Adrian Law in the last row.
Adrian Law didn’t like these junk foods, but as long as Cecilia was happy, it was fine.
The film was clearly a serious drama with a heavy the. However, due to Director Chapman’s prestigious na and the film’s cast of erging actors and veteran perforrs, the entire cinema was nearly full.
As the film started, the fras with the distinct retro feel and exquisite cinematography instantly captivated Cecilia.
No wonder the film is titled "You are the Sun and Moon in My Heart", as the male lead’s na was Yao, and the female lead had a single na Yue.
The story began in turbulent tis, set against a backdrop of shifting circumstances. The male lead was the only son of a noble family; after his father was jailed, the entire family suffered, and he fell from grace.
While he studied abroad, he beca subject to disdain from everyone and was sent to teach in a village, enduring various hardships and insults.
The female lead was the pride of Warren Village, only seventeen years old, in her pri. Despite adults badmouthing the male lead, she couldn’t help but entrust her heart to him.
Every now and then, she’d secretly give him an egg or discreetly gather herbs to heal his injuries, and slowly, affection grew between them.
Even though this love was frowned upon by everyone.
This movie leaned towards a depiction of ensemble characters, besides the leads, there were many vividly portrayed side characters, such as the old scholar’s family laboring in the cattle pen and the young herdsman Tiger longing for city life...
The ones that left the deepest impression on Cecilia were the two male side characters, Elias Sinclair and Strong.
Elias was branded as a city-bred intellectual youth who looked down on farming, and Strong was Warren Village’s barefoot doctor. Both were young and energetic, fully aware of the conservative temper of the ti and the volatile situation—yet their love was unflinching.
The story’s conclusion was a sigh; the old scholar’s family went mad, Elias and Strong’s relationship, unacceptable to societal norms, led them to be burned alive. Later, the exams reopened for upward mobility, and the male lead returned to town, promising to marry the female lead.
The female lead waited and waited, only to discover she was pregnant...
However, a female student from the sa village, unable to see her happy, intercepted the male lead’s letter, claiming his family’s official position had been restored, and he had married a new wife in the provincial city long ago.
The vicious student even forged a breakup letter in the male lead’s handwriting. Upon seeing it, the female lead was struck like lightning, and in her daze, jumped into the river, resulting in two lives perishing.
When the male lead returned to Warren Village, everything had changed.
In the end, the male lead dedicated himself to his country’s scientific endeavors yet remained unmarried throughout his life, carving an inscription on the female lead’s tombstone.
—— I am willing to beco a stone bridge, withstand five hundred years of wind, five hundred years of sun, five hundred years of rain, just to see you walk over it.
...
By the end of the movie, Cecilia realized her face was soaked with tears.
The movie is just a movie, Director Chapman was telling everyone that the world is this bitter, at least now we live in relative happiness, we must cherish it...
Adrian Law, seeing the girl’s tearful expression, felt his heart ache painfully.
"Cecilia, don’t cry, it’s alright..."
Cecilia choked a couple of tis, hugging the man’s shoulders tightly, her hands trembling, smudging Adrian Law’s tailored suit with snot and tears.
Yet Adrian Law didn’t mind at all, tenderly wiping away Cecilia’s tears from her face.
"Be good, let’s go ho."
In a place where Cecilia wasn’t paying attention, Adrian’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and he opened his phone to type a few words.
—— How to cheer up a girl?
He only wished for Cecilia to be the princess in his palm for life, full of happiness without worries.
...
The evening route was a bit congested, and more than an hour later, they finally returned to Starfall Bay.
When Cecilia pushed open the villa door, she was stunned by the view before her!
