"Hmm... okay..."
"Furthermore, you must not misuse divine power and disrupt the order of this world."
Wei Yuan, like a child who had done something wrong, remained silent for a long while after hearing this before tugging at Yu Tang's sleeve and saying, "That... has already been used up."
Upon hearing this, Yu Tang suddenly had a bad feeling.
It wasn't until his comeback party that he understood what Wei Yuan meant.
Because the big shots from the black, white, and gray circles stopped Wei Yuan one after another and called out his ten identities.
There are mysterious tycoons, medical directors, military generals, club moguls, biopharmaceutical experts, and even metaphysical masters, etc...
Everyone at the party was trying to curry favor with Yu Tang, hoping that he would say a few good words for them to Wei Yuan.
Surrounded by others, Yu Tang felt even more like she had truly become the seven-colored-eyed heroine in a Mary Sue novel, pampered by a powerful figure with multiple identities!
After finally managing to deal with everyone and wait for them to leave, Yu Tang sat down, leaning on a chair, and took a sip of wine to calm his nerves.
Wei Yuan sat next to him, looking pitiful with an expression that said, "Master, what's done is done. They all call me that now, and there's nothing I can do about it."
Yu Tang looked down at him, and when she met his watery, pitiful peach blossom eyes, all her anger vanished.
"Then you have to promise me you won't abuse these abilities to cause trouble for others."
And now that you've acquired so many titles, you should do some positive things and not let those people down.
"Hmm..." Wei Yuan knew that his master was no longer angry when he heard Yu Tang say that.
After readily agreeing, he was about to take Yu Tang home when he discovered that his master was deep in thought.
He asked in confusion, "Master, what are you thinking about?"
Yu Tang snapped out of his daze, stood up, looked Wei Yuan up and down, and asked him, "I suddenly realized that none of your ten identities are actresses."
"Since we're already here, and I'm going back to my old ways, how about we put on a movie just for you and me?"

After Yu Tang finished speaking, Wei Yuan was stunned.
Then her eyes turned into trembling, round eyes, and she grabbed his hand, saying, "Waaah, Master, are you really willing to take me along in this charade?"
Yu Tang nodded: "Yes, I want to leave behind your and my story so that more people can see it, and so that we can cherish it ourselves."
Wei Yuan was even more moved.
Just as he was about to sob and hug Yu Tang, he heard his master add through gritted teeth, "Besides, aren't you the best at acting? You used to act and lie to me every day. I bet if you enter the entertainment industry, I won't have a place on the Best Actor award stage in a minute."
“QAQ…” Wei Yuan quickly said, “Master, I really know I was wrong.”
Yu Tang was amused by him. She grabbed Wei Yuan by the back of the neck with one hand and flicked his forehead with the other hand.
"Silly girl, I was just teasing you."
Then, he put his arm around Wei Yuan's shoulder and walked out of the party hall: "Let's go home."
"I want to eat spicy crayfish today, will you make it for me?"
Wei Yuan felt incredibly warm inside, and he naturally put his arm around the man's waist: "Okay, whatever Shizun wants to eat, I'll make it for you."
With Wei Yuan using ten different identities to create hype, Yu Tang's comeback has generated a significant response.
However, the two did not rush to announce that they were together.
During this time, Wei Yuan had successfully infiltrated the Yu family using his identity as Director Wei of the hospital, and had even helped the two elders recover their health, thus relieving Yu Tang's worries.
Yu's parents praised him highly.
After all, who would dislike such a polite and incredibly handsome young talent?
However, getting them to accept their relationship will require a gradual process.
So for the rest of the time, Yu Tang and Wei Yuan lived together as friends and would occasionally appear by the old couple's side.
After making their presence felt, they first participated in an interview program together.
She continued to participate in some semi-medical science popularization variety shows.
Try to improve your public image.
Only after Wei Yuan finished writing the scripts for all ten worlds did he announce to the public that the two planned to collaborate on a series of ten films with LGBTQ+ themes.
This news shocked the entire entertainment industry!
After all, there is a lot of controversy surrounding films and television dramas with LGBTQ+ themes these days.
There are almost no movies.
There are no TV dramas broadcast on satellite channels.
At best, they'll just be coasting along in the online drama scene. And then their work gets completely distorted, and they'll be accused of profiting from the popularity of BL (Boys' Love) dramas. Even if the stars who act in BL dramas become famous, they'll still be subjected to veiled criticism from various public accounts.
In this environment, Yu Tang, the movie star who was once jokingly called a "sexually apathetic" in the industry, made his first film appearance six months after his comeback from a car accident, and it turned out to be a film with a gay theme!
It's going to be made into a movie series!
A full ten!
Is he crazy? Or are these onlookers crazy?
Or has the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television gone mad?
So, netizens, with a spirit of inquiry, checked repeatedly for three or four days to confirm that the news announcing the collaboration between the two on a series of films with a lesbian theme was still there and had not been deleted, and that Yu Tang and the non-celebrity Wei Yuan had not been banned.
I'm finally completely excited!
They started discussing the identities behind Yu Tang and Wei Yuan like crazy!
They even started writing various short scripts and short stories about the movie plots that the two will star in.
Meanwhile, Yu Tang and Wei Yuan were holed up on set, reading those short articles during their breaks.
Chapter 12
Side Story: Back to Modern Times 10 (The End)
I saw a post titled: I suspect that the time the movie star was in a vegetative state was actually a time travel! And a quick time travel one at that! The subject was that Dr. Wei!
The movie they're making now will depict the ten worlds they've experienced—that's my guess! No arguments allowed! If you disagree, you're right!
Yu Tang took a sip of coffee, scrolled down, and saw the questioner's nickname.
Nezha of the city.
Wei Yuan followed his master's finger and raised an eyebrow: "Looks like a prophet."
"Master, should we kill her?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Tang glared at Wei Yuan.
The latter immediately became obedient.
He hurriedly replied, "Well, she's probably just too good at guessing. She doesn't deserve to die. I won't touch her."
"Stop all this fighting and killing all the time." Yu Tang tapped his head, turned off his phone, picked up the script, and was currently working on the scene he was about to act out.
It's... a sex scene...
Yu Tang frowned and flipped through several more pages, only to discover: it was all sex scenes!
His grip on the script tightened, and he looked at Wei Yuan: "You did this?"
“Well…” Wei Yuan said, feeling wronged, and drew circles on Yu Tang’s hand with his finger, looking distressed. “I accidentally wrote too much.”
Yu Tang laughed angrily: "You think this is filmable?!"
"Aren't you afraid that if we make this film, we'll get a ten-year prison sentence?"
"They dare to lock me up!"
Wei Yuan had just shouted when he received a warning look from Yu Tang. He pursed his lips, took the script from Yu Tang's hand, and handed him a normal script instead: "This is the one that passed the review. The one you have is the one I deliberately put there."
Yu Tang sighed, "I knew you were always trying to trap me!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, Wei Yuan leaned closer and whispered, "But Master, take a close look at the uncut version. I think I wrote it really well. If you're interested, how about we... add some scenes tonight?"
Yu Tang was scalded by his body temperature, coughed lightly, and pushed him away a little: "Work first, we can talk about this when we get home."
So, upon returning home, the master was pinned to the bed by his wayward disciple, who then spent the entire night adding to the drama...
This series of ten films, one per year, has been made for ten years and its popularity has lasted for decades.
Yu Tang and Wei Yuan had already made their relationship public when the first film in the series was released.
And they were exposed to the public eye, showering each other with affection for a full ten years.
Faced with numerous doubts, they showed everyone through their actions:
Love knows no gender; it only depends on who you love.
And are you willing to adapt and change your current fixed life, to work through each other's tempers, and to hold hands and spend the rest of your lives together in order to fall in love with this person?
Yu Tang and Wei Yuan did it.
Their love won over Mr. and Mrs. Yu, the major media outlets, and all the onlookers who wanted to see them fail.
Decades later, society has come to accept same-sex love.
The love between Yu Tang and Wei Yuan was completely etched into everyone's hearts.
The journey of a lifetime has come to an end.
Yu Tang and Wei Yuan, retaining the appearance of old men, placed a bouquet of flowers at the graves of their family members and friends in this world.
Then they returned to the villa where the two of them had lived for decades and turned on a movie in the screening room.
After quietly watching ten movies, I closed my eyes, left this body behind, and departed from this world.
The two of them held hands, and the last character "刑" (punishment) was scrolling across the screen they were facing.
It says on it:
