Everything is ready, filming officially begins.
...
Jiang Yunli, dressed in a fiery red wedding gown, stepped up the temple stairs one by one.
Every step felt incredibly heavy.
She didn't know why she had come here; perhaps the ending was almost predictable.
She wanted to see him one last time, even just one glance would be enough.
She always sneaked off to the temple to see him; she knew it, and he knew it too.
But he never even glanced at her. Every time, she came alone and left alone.
But she always kept coming back.
This might be the last time they see each other. Jiang Yunli smiled, thinking he couldn't possibly look miserable.
She didn't want Shen Yu to see her like this, but she never expected that Shen Yu wouldn't even glance at her.
Shen Yu closed his eyes and recited Buddhist scriptures.
When Jiang Yun left, he knew; he could even hear her footsteps.
He just didn't dare open his eyes. He was afraid that if he did, he would lose completely. He just couldn't bear to see her suffer.
Therefore, I have to force myself to harden my heart.
Like this.
Jiang Yunli spoke beside him, as if talking to herself.
"Brother Shenyu, I've come to see you. Are you still not going to look at me this time?"
"Very well, I know you probably don't want to see me. As for Father's affairs, I know there's nothing I can do."
I dare not ask for your forgiveness.
"By the way, Brother Shenyu, I'm wearing the wedding dress from our wedding day today. Would you like to take another look?"
"Yeah, you've already seen it, so you probably don't want to see it again, right?"
Shen Yu remained silent.
"Oh, right, Brother Shenyu, I'm getting married. I'm going to the northern desert for a political marriage. Let me call you 'husband' one last time." Suppressing her sobs, Jiang Yunli forced a smile. "Husband, husband, husband."
She said it three times, each time more tender and affectionate than the last.
She looked at Shen Yu's expression, but Shen Yu's expression clearly hadn't changed at all.
Cold and distant, no longer the same as before.
Shen Yu's fingers twitched, but she didn't see it.
"This is a pure Buddhist sanctuary; please return, benefactor." This was the last sentence he uttered.
"Um... then I'm sorry to have bothered you, Master..."
"I know we have no future."
Jiang Yunli's hand involuntarily touched his face, feeling his warmth one last time.
I will etch him into my mind.
Finally, she gently kissed his brow, her tears falling onto Shen Yu's hand and leaving a trail.
"Shen Yu, I'm leaving. Remember to take good care of yourself." This should be a final farewell.
The moment she stepped out the door, Shen Yu opened his eyes.
He was also holding back, afraid that if he opened his eyes, his overflowing love would be too much to handle.
Her tears were warm.
In the end, he hardened his heart and didn't even look at her back.
He didn't know that this was a final farewell.
Jiang Yunli slowly walked down the steps, not daring to look back, afraid that if she did, she would be reluctant to leave.
She secretly hoped that Shen Yu would ask her to stay.
Even just one sentence, "Don't go."
But Shen Yu did not.
That's good, it will allow her to walk more firmly.
Unfortunately, the weather turned against us, and a heavy rain began to fall.
Jiang Yunli looked up at the sky, and the raindrops splashed on her face, feeling cool and refreshing.
She could cry as much as she wanted in the rain, and no one would notice. How wonderful, she thought.
The stone steps were slippery from the rain, and she lost her focus for a moment before uncontrollably sliding down them.
Her hand was scraped, but she took good care of the bracelet he gave her, and it remained undamaged.
It seems to be just like it was at the beginning.
But she knew that many things had already changed.
Blood seeped from the corner of her mouth, but she didn't care at all. Lying on the ground, she knew he wouldn't come looking for her.
She waited, but he never came. So she let the downpour engulf her.
The rain that day, separated by the Buddhist gate, split them into two worlds; it was their final separation in life and death.
"Cut!!!"
At a single command, the scene was filmed in one take.
The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.
Director Jiang, a grown man, shed tears. This is acting that allows the audience to empathize; it was so well done!
He really wished the show would air immediately so he could torture the audience to death.
The thought of torturing the audience to death made Director Jiang extremely happy.
Shen Shiqing and Lu Jingchu quickly got out of character, finished filming, and thanked everyone for their hard work.
Thank you all for your hard work and care all this time. It's all very kind of you.
Their scenes ended there. As for the later scenes of "sharing the same bed in life and the same grave in death" and "the emperor issuing an edict of self-reproach to restore the reputation of the general's mansion," those scenes had already been filmed beforehand.
The director and crew members all came to take a group photo. Lu Jingchu and Shi Qing stood in the middle holding flowers, looking just like a newlywed couple.
They're a perfect match.
As soon as their scenes were completed, the crew's wrap-up photos were released and quickly topped the trending searches.
There's no doubt about his status as a movie star, and Shen Shiqing's popularity needs no proof.
Gradually, Shen Shiqing realized that she seemed to be getting closer and closer to Lu Jingchu.
Of course, this is all the result of her hard work and ambition.
Lu Jingchu removed the monk's headdress and makeup, and returned to her original appearance.
Feeling damp and clammy, Shen Shiqing quickly changed her clothes, as autumn was approaching and it was easy to catch a cold.
The two have now returned to their normal routine.
"Shall we take one last photo?" Shen Shiqing looked at Lu Jingchu seriously. "Just the two of us."
"good."
Shen Shiqing took out his phone, turned on selfie mode, and started snapping away, taking several different photos.
Another copy was sent to Lu Jingchu.
Then other staff members came to take photos with them. After taking the photos politely, the two of them drank hot tea in the dressing room.
After filming wrapped, Shen Shiqing felt a sense of loss.
Lu Jingchu noticed her emotions and gave her a warm hug.
This was his silent comfort and support for her.
After calming down, Shen Shiqing took out her phone and opened Weibo.
This play is very meaningful to her, and a sense of ritual is essential.
I have to post the wrap-up photos.
Should she post the photos she and Lu Jingchu just took?
Shen Shiqing was hesitating when she discovered that Lu Jingchu was one step ahead of her and sent the photo directly. The photo in the center was their selfie from just now.
Well, since he's already done this, she'll grant his wish.
Shen Shiqing eventually added the group photo.
[@Lu Jingchu: Filming has wrapped up. Goodbye, Shen Yu. I'm so happy to have wrapped up filming with Teacher Shen @Shen Shiqing.]
Shen Shiqing's copywriting is the same.
[@沈时卿: Filming wrapped up! Today was poor little Ali's turn. Goodbye, we'll see you next time. So happy to wrap up filming with Teacher Lu @陆璟初.]
The similarity is obvious at a glance.
The fans seem to have gotten used to it; they're not the type to deceive themselves, and after seeing it so often, they think this kind of sister-in-law is quite nice.
There are too many popular pairings for Shen Shiqing right now, and everyone is vying for them, but Shen Shiqing just doesn't know it.
The comment section was surprisingly harmonious, with jokes, teasing, and playful banter, but very few physical fights.
[Strawberry Bear Gummy: Did you two plan this copywriting together? A cunning little couple!!!]
【You are my life: Wait, isn't this obviously a couple's caption...?】
[My CP request to the US: Oh my god, Lu Ge, don't love him too much, you should be in the center of the group photo...]
