After the dizzying collision, Fu Yunshen felt that although his legs were in pain, his consciousness was still clear. He immediately dialed for an ambulance himself.

Then he asked the system, 【Can I ask one question? Is the disability arranged for me by this book’s plot, or did I have this calamity from the beginning?】 This was very important; if the plot posed a threat to his personal safety, Fu Yunshen could not tolerate the system continuing to linger in his mind.

The system quickly explained, 【Of course, you had the disability before the plot! We are a very humane system! The binding was only to rectify the mistakes of merging six books. If you didn’t have the car accident, the plot wouldn’t have triggered, so I couldn’t tell you before the plot was activated. If I had told you, it would have changed your predetermined fate.】

【Predetermined fate?】 Fu Yunshen pondered this term. 【I never believed in fate. Are you saying… the car accident seems to be arranged in my fate?】 If the system had known in advance that the accident would occur, how could it be said that each person’s fate is created by themselves? For the first time, Fu Yunshen began to doubt the world he lived in.

【Hehe.】 The system gave a dry laugh, seeming a bit guilty. 【I didn’t say the car accident would definitely happen; I just said there’s a possibility!】

Fu Yunshen seemed to be deep in thought, his gaze becoming more profound, but he didn’t press the system for further questions.

【Don’t worry, Fifth Master! In this sweet healing story, there definitely won’t be any real disabilities. No matter what, you’ll stand up under the comfort of love!】

Fu Yunshen checked the condition of his legs and felt that he indeed wasn’t at the point of becoming permanently disabled. However, he decided to wait for the ambulance before addressing anything further. He then said to the system, 【Retrieve the data.】

【Title: After My White Moonlight Returned, I Married the Disabled Big Shot

Synopsis: Until Fang Rui’s white moonlight returned to the country, Xie Lanze realized he was nothing but a substitute.

The script was snatched away by the white moonlight, and he was heavily suppressed.

To prevent a couple of dog men from having their way, Xie Lanze chose to fulfill the marriage agreement between the Fu and Xie families:

He married Fang Rui’s little uncle, the disabled Fifth Master Fu, for good luck.

Everyone spoke of him in hushed tones. Before the marriage, Xie Lanze only knew he was: cold, ascetic, ruthless, and unapproachable.

After the marriage, Xie Lanze could only think: his legs went weak every day!

And when the scumbag encountered Xie Lanze again, he couldn’t help but respectfully call him, “Little Aunt.】

Fu Yunshen felt helpless: 【There are too many elements… What did the old man from a wealthy family do wrong?】 With themes of family ethics and a disabled boss, Fu Yunshen felt drained. What did it mean to have his legs go weak every day? Was he scared of him?

He was still sensitive to that pile of adjectives: 【By the way, hasn’t your vocabulary been updated?】 If those four words appeared in every book, it would be truly hair-raising.

The system replied: 【Isn’t ‘indifferent and abstinent’ quite fitting? So many cute and handsome characters are available for you, and you don’t even sleep with one! What a waste!】

Fu Yunshen coughed: 【Cough, cough.】 They’re all submissive characters; can any love sparks even emerge from that?

The system conveniently loaded the plot reversal value: 【In ‘After My White Moonlight Returned, I Married the Disabled Boss,’ the plot reversal value is 20%.】 This is because Fu Yunshen had casually resolved the issue of script credits for Xie Lanze earlier, giving the story some reversal value from the very beginning.

While waiting for the ambulance, Fu Yunshen briefly reviewed the original plot.

First, out of habit, Fu Yunshen confirmed the cause of the car accident and found that it was indeed an accident, which slightly eased his mind.

Looking at the specific plot, it began with his nephew. Xu Qingli, returning from abroad. Xie Lanze caught the two having an affair, and Fang Rui tortured him in various ways. To take revenge on Fang Rui, Xie Lanze deliberately began to approach Fu Yunshen.

The elders of the Fu and Xie families had an informal marriage agreement before they passed away. After my father became disabled due to a car accident, he inexplicably believed some nonsense he heard and thought that getting married would somehow help him stand up again. So, he went along with it and allowed Xie Lanze to marry him.

Later, as Xie Lanze cared for me sincerely, I found myself touched by his efforts and gradually fell in love with him.

【I don’t think my father is that absurd. Also, is the affection of us rich old men really that cheap? Can you just fall in love because someone takes care of you casually? I’m not that starved for love; the Fu family doesn’t lack someone to take care of.】

The system chuckled: 【Fifth Master, you don’t understand! This care involves a beautiful person by your side, whispering sweet nothings, indulging in intimate moments, and looking after your… needs.】

Fu Yunshen: 【……】

As I continued reading, I saw Xie Lanze’s various methods of coaxing and charming, with descriptions above the neck. Every day I felt weak in the legs, and I gradually began to open my heart.

Fu Yunshen: 【Cough… that’s a bit of an eye-opener.】 So that’s what “weak in the legs” means?

The system retorted: 【What’s eye-opening about it? It only describes things above the neck; there’s nothing else!】

Throughout the story, I enjoyed various satisfying moments of slapping the face of the antagonists while also managing to stand up with Xie Lanze’s care. After that, the two of us sweetly and intimately navigated to the conclusion. Most of Xie Lanze’s works were gradually adapted into film and television with my investment, and as a writer, his fame rose even higher, leading to a successful love life and career.

The system sighed: 【What a sweet and wonderful fairy tale romance!】

However, Fu Yunshen succinctly summarized the core idea: 【I feel like I’m just a tool for slapping the face of the antagonists and doting on them; being a rich old man is really tough.】 Moreover, he didn’t want to be involved with the protagonists above the neck; he just wanted to be taken care of above the neck.

The ambulance arrived quickly, and Fu Yunshen was taken to the hospital. His leg injury wasn’t as severe as in the story; it didn’t even damage any bones. He had a deep gash of about twenty centimeters on his right leg. After debridement, he received over thirty stitches. However, he would be stuck in a wheelchair for at least a month.

The driver only sustained minor injuries, and Fu Yunshen contacted his family for him. However, he didn’t inform his own family for now; he just had his assistant come over to handle the aftermath. He worried that his elderly parents would rush to the hospital in the middle of the night.

In the original text, the character’s leg nerves were severely injured, leaving uncertainty about whether he would ever stand again. He remained in a wheelchair for a long time until Xie Lanze married him for good luck, and only after they fell in love did he stand up.

Now, though, he had only sustained minor injuries, which was a significant deviation from the original plot. What was going on? The previous two books had never featured such a situation.

The system remarked: 【Plot reversal value: 50%. Huh? This seems different from the car accident in the story, right? Of course, Fifth Master, I also hope you only sustained minor injuries; that would be best, but it’s a bit strange.】 Since Fu Yunshen had only minor injuries and wasn’t disabled, a large part of the original plot had been directly altered.

Fu Yunshen recalled the special people and events he had encountered during this time, and it seemed that the only remarkable person was the distinguished man he met at the entrance of Wutong Street. He had sold Fu Yunshen a talisman for safety.

Sitting on the hospital bed, Fu Yunshen picked up his discarded suit jacket and rummaged through the inner pocket, only to discover… that the talisman was gone?!

Fu Yunshen didn’t think there was anything wrong with his memory; the talisman had indeed disappeared. Moreover, the system had mentioned that the man could see it, suggesting that the change in the plot was likely related to him.

However, the talisman belonged to the realm of metaphysics, and to know the specific answer, he would need to track this person down.

As the night deepened, Fu Yunshen finished reviewing the plot and took out his phone to check the messages he hadn’t dealt with due to the car accident. His eyes immediately fell on a message from Lu Ning.

【Sir, the college entrance examination results are out! I’m the top science student in E City! I haven’t let you down!】

【Image】

Even Fu Yunshen was a bit surprised; although E City was not a particularly developed administrative district, going from a score of 608 to 691 in just four months was indeed exceptional. No wonder he could be the protagonist.

After the surprise, he felt a sense of pride. As a father, Fu Yunshen felt proud of him and even posted a rare update on social media to express his achievement in raising a son: 【Adopted son’s college entrance examination results “Image”】

Indeed, tonight in Fu Yunshen’s social media circle, some partners in their forties were showing off their children’s college entrance examination results. But Fu Yunshen was only 28! Why would he join a bunch of older folks in this excitement?

When the bosses opened the image and took a closer look, they were shocked to see 691??? Holy cow!!! How impressive! What kind of divine child is Fu Yunshen’s adopted son?

【Young Master Fu is amazing! “Thumbs up”】 Forget about the details; just praise him.

【Isn’t Young Master Fu’s adopted son taking the exam next year?】 Someone who knew Fu Yunshen had an 18-year-old adopted son was a bit confused and then quickly saw the name on the image: Lu Ning. They hurriedly deleted their comment.

Who is Lu Ning? Did Fu Yunshen adopt another son? But in a family like the Fu’s, anything shared on social media must be legitimate, so just praise him.

【No wonder Fu Yunshen is so outstanding; his entire family is exceptional.】

Parents who had children checking their exam results and still weren’t asleep immediately grabbed their phones to show their sons: “Look, Young Master Fu’s adopted son scored 691! How much did you score?”

“Holy crap, 691! Is this picture photoshopped?”

Lu Ning quickly became the “other people’s child” in the eyes of all the big shots in Fu Yunshen’s social media circle. The names of these rich second-generation kids were suddenly dominated by Lu Ning’s impressive score.

Fu Yunshen watched the rapidly increasing likes and comments, feeling quite satisfied as he saw the praise for his son. So this is what it feels like to show off your child.

【Fifth Master, you’re becoming more and more like an old person.】

【Oh well, having younger ones at home does that to you.】

After a night full of commotion, it was almost dawn, and Fu Yunshen lay on the hospital bed without any sleepiness; he was too lazy to sleep.

With nothing else to do, he downloaded the app Qingshui, where Xie Lanze was serializing his work.

He searched for Xie Lanze’s column and found it to be quite strange. It only had a few green trees, but most of it was withered trees, a few patches of grass, and a bunch of tree pits. In short, anyone with obsessive-compulsive disorder would find it very uncomfortable to look at.

He casually clicked on one of Xie Lanze’s works and flipped through it. The saved comments and various gifts numbered in the thousands. Fu Yunshen wasn’t sure whether this data was good or not, but looking at the comments below:

“All the big shots, if there’s an update, don’t forget to tell my ancestor at the family shrine.”

“If I die, please let my grandson see the ending for me.”

“Big shot, I’ve already given birth to my child. I’m wondering if I should let him read your work in the future.”

“Startled from a dying illness, still no update today.”…

These comments were all quite new. Checking Xie Lanze’s last update, it was three months ago. Looking at the publication date of this book, it was three years ago? Was this book really that good? Why were people still urging for updates every day?

Fu Yunshen had nothing to do at the moment, so he clicked on the main text to take a look. Then… it actually seemed a bit interesting?

…

The next day, Lu Ning received news about Fu Yunshen’s car accident from Fu Yunshen’s assistant and rushed to the hospital immediately.

When he reached the bedside, his eyes were filled with concern.

Fu Yunshen had already gotten out of bed and started handling some important work for the day. Seeing Lu Ning, he calmly praised the young boy for a few moments.

However, Lu Ning remained silent for a while, his eyes red: “Sir, you really scared me! I haven’t had a chance to repay you yet…”

Fu Yunshen casually replied, “It’s nothing, just a minor injury.” He was worried that the young boy might burst into tears.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be discharged soon. You don’t need to stay here with me; you should go home and focus on your college applications,” he advised.

“I’m just glad you’re okay, sir.” Lu Ning sat at the bedside, peeling an apple for Fu Yunshen. He said earnestly, “When you accepted me as your godson, I vowed to let everyone know about your kindness to me. I don’t want anyone to misunderstand you.” Lu Ning genuinely regarded Fu Yunshen as a mentor, and his feelings were very pure.

“So?” Fu Yunshen continued to look down at his emails, not taking Lu Ning’s words too seriously. Such matters weren’t easy to clarify; there would always be people thinking inappropriately. Fu Yunshen himself didn’t care much about those rumors or what people said.

Lu Ning lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

He earnestly accompanied Fu Yunshen at the hospital for the entire morning until Fu Yunshen finished his work, had lunch, and began to catch up on sleep before leaving.

After returning home, Lu Ning plunged into a busy schedule. He had scheduled numerous interviews and written many articles.

Yu Nuo was already stunned by the operations of her own talented artist but quietly took on the responsibilities of a manager, facilitating communication between Lu Ning and the various newspapers and magazines.

As a result, in the days following the release of the college entrance examination results, various publications related to the exam began to hit the shelves one after another.

When students went to the newsstand or bookstore to buy exam-related publications, they were greeted by a bunch of magazines featuring Lu Ning on the covers, spread out on the shelves.

Student: ??? Am I here to buy college entrance exam-related magazines? Why has this place been taken over by entertainment news?

However, upon closer inspection:

E City Urban Daily Education Edition: “Local Science Top Scorer Lu Ning Tells You: How to Go from 600 to 691.”

Magazine “College Entrance Exam Express”: “The Journey of E City’s Science Top Scorer Lu Ning Through the College Entrance Exam.”

A Small Educational Newspaper: “Behind the Comeback of the City’s Top Scorer in the College Entrance Exam, There Is a Noble Benefactor Helping Him…”

Magazine “Gold List”: “E City’s Top Scorer Lu Ning: I Want to Thank Someone.”

…

The students were dumbfounded.

What the heck! The science top scorer in our city is Lu Ning? That celebrity Lu Ning? Is the world going crazy?

But no matter what, they still had to buy the magazines. As soon as the students took them home, they couldn’t help but look at Lu Ning’s feature.

Huh? Why does Lu Ning mention Mr. Fu in every interview?

Ahhh! I’m so jealous! A million-dollar tutoring team! I want that too! With a team like that, I could be the top scorer!

Boohoo, what kind of luck did Lu Ning have to be taken in as a godson by such a wealthy person?

Do rich people really enjoy competing with friends and family over their children’s grades?

Since it’s in a formal education publication, few people overthought the relationship between Lu Ning and Fu Yunshen. The readers of such magazines were mostly high school seniors and their parents, who felt that this top scorer was amazing and then felt envious of the million-dollar tutoring team.

On Fu Yunshen’s side, upon receiving the news, his feelings were somewhat complicated. It wasn’t in a business or entertainment publication; his name had appeared for the first time in a bunch of educational editions.

【Hahaha, Fifth Master, your godson has learned to pull off flashy moves! An education edition, how ridiculous! The top scorer’s son is gracing the cover of an educational magazine to vindicate his father.】

Lu Ning didn’t flaunt his scores on Weibo, while the haters squatted in the comments of his Weibo, their legs getting numb from all the squatting, accompanied by various insults and mockery.

It wasn’t until someone posted a picture of the educational magazine “Gold List,” just bought this morning, that it drew attention. The cover featured Lu Ning, with the headline: “E City’s Top Scorer Lu Ning: I Want to Thank Someone.”

Everyone: 【???】

【Woccccc! This is absolutely insane!】

【691 points? Not only can he get into Beijing University and Huada, but he’s also the top scorer in the city!】

【So Xiao Yumo wasn’t lying to me. What an unbeatable academic genius, I’m kneeling…】

【The city’s top scorer… the first top scorer to appear in the entertainment industry.】

【Who does he want to thank? Don’t just show the cover! I’m dying to know!】

【If you want to see it, go buy it yourself.】

【I didn’t expect my small wallhead to contribute to the magazine’s sales and end up on an educational magazine! Hahaha, but I’m really happy to have bought it.】

【Boohoo, as a lemon, I finally waited for this day of slapping faces. It feels so good.】

【How many points did Zheng Qingze get? Why isn’t he saying anything?】

This long-anticipated face-slapping moment that caught the attention of all of Weibo finally arrived, with Lu Ning gracing the education edition, causing all the educational newspapers and magazines he appeared in to sell out.

Everyone’s reaction after reading: Boohoo, I also want a dad like Mr. Fu! Lu Ning’s life is truly making people turn into lemons.

Lu Ning openly expressed his gratitude for Fu Yunshen’s support; he did so in every interview, effectively dispelling suspicions about their inappropriate relationship. He successfully achieved his goal of letting everyone know that Mr. Fu is his father.

A well-known second-generation rich kid on Weibo shared a screenshot of his father’s censored Moments: 【That indescribable gentleman’s Moments “image”】, which instantly revealed that this 691 points belongs to Lu Ning.

The summary from everyone: 【Fatherly love and filial piety! Fatherly love and filial piety indeed!】

Students flocked to leave messages under Fu’s official Weibo account: 【Mr. Fu, do you need another son? I scored 680 on my mock exam; can you consider me?】

【I’m first in my class every time; please accept me, Mr. Fu!】

【Please, Mr. Fu, start a tutoring program! My family is wealthy; I can do it!】

【Excuse me, which tutoring team did Mr. Fu hire?】

…

Fu Yunshen was discharged from the hospital and returned home in just a couple of days. This time, to ensure his son could rest well at home, Old Master Fu personally took charge of the Fu family’s affairs.

With some free time on his hands, Fu Yunshen dug out Xie Lanze’s works online and continued reading.

A few days later, Xie Lanze specifically came to visit.

Fu Yunshen was sitting in a wheelchair under the shade of a tree in the courtyard, reading Xie Lanze’s book. He had already asked his assistant to purchase the entire set of physical books that Xie Lanze had published.

“Mr. Fu, how are you doing? I’m really sorry for the poor hospitality that day,” Xie Lanze greeted Fu Yunshen and sat down on a stone bench nearby.

Although summer had arrived, Xie Lanze was neatly dressed in a white shirt. His features were refined, and he had a tear mole at the outer corner of his narrow eyes, giving him the aura of a cool beauty full of scholarly charm.

“I’m fine, just a minor injury.” Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled patterns on the book in Fu Yunshen’s hands. He closed the book and set it aside.

Seeing the book in Fu Yunshen’s hand, Xie Lanze’s eyes brightened slightly, as if he had found a brilliant topic to discuss. He quickly said, “Mr. Fu, do you also enjoy reading Shuanghua’s books?”

Shuanghua is Xie Lanze’s pen name, derived from Qin Guan’s poem “Cupu Manlu Hua”: “The musk scent follows Lanze, while the frost flower enters the apricot paste.” It corresponds with the name Lanze, but Xie Lanze pretended not to know the author Shuanghua, indicating that he still hadn’t given up on his feelings of attraction.

Fu Yunshen said, “It’s quite good, but the author keeps leaving plots unresolved.”

Xie Lanze felt a twinge of guilt at that moment, but he hadn’t forgotten the purpose of his visit. He continued, “Yes, it seems the author does update a bit slowly. I’ve read all of this author’s books; if Mr. Fu is interested, we can discuss the plot together.”

Fu Yunshen had already grasped the original plot and wasn’t in the mood to continue the charade with Xie Lanze. He smiled and said, “Forgive me for being blunt, but what is your purpose in getting close to me, Mr. Xie?”

Xie Lanze froze for a moment, but then he relaxed. He had always been resistant to social interactions, and it wasn’t easy to let go of his pride and try to seduce Fu Yunshen. Since he had been found out, he decided to drop the act.

He suppressed his polite smile and sneered, “Isn’t it because of Mr. Fu’s excellent nephew?”

Fu Yunshen pondered for a moment and replied, “I recall I’ve already addressed the issue regarding Mr. Xie’s script credits?”

Xie Lanze’s eyes reddened slightly as he said, “What does it matter if I got the script back? I can’t tolerate Fang Rui trampling on my feelings like this, and I can’t bear to see him and Xu Qingli flaunting their happiness in front of me. I want them to regret it!”

So Xie Lanze’s idea is to become Fang Rui’s aunt? Fu Yunshen rubbed his forehead, finding this logic quite peculiar. It seems the power of the original plot is still quite strong.

Xie Lanze continued, “Since Mr. Fu thinks I have ulterior motives, feel free to suppress me. I don’t care.”

Xie Lanze was actually a very stubborn person, hard to change his mind. Since that’s the case…

Fu Yunshen smiled faintly and said, “Mr. Xie, are you trying to be Fang Rui’s elder?”

【Wow! Mr. Wu, are you really planning to follow the plot and marry Xie Lanze?】

Xie Lanze was taken aback as well; his little thoughts had been laid bare by Fu Yunshen so directly. He felt a bit embarrassed, his ears turning slightly red, and didn’t want to respond.

【Mr. Wu, our cool beauty blushes so easily when teased; how cute! 】

Fu Yunshen continued, talking to himself, “Then let’s finish filling the gaps in your column first, shall we?”

Xie Lanze: “???” Did the readers just expose him on the spot?
