LayarHijau — Chinese actor Fang Yilun says he was once approached by a woman from a wealthy family who offered to set up a company for him. He turned the offer down because he wants to live life on his own terms.
He made the remarks when asked about relying on a rich woman in an interview cited by Sohu Entertainment. According to Fang Yilun, the woman came from a very well-off family, owned a home in a highly prestigious location, and had many cars he was free to drive whenever he liked.

She offered that if Fang Yilun still wanted a career in acting, she would set up a company for him.
Fang Yilun declined because he feared having his life arranged by others and dislikes owing favors. He said that path could lead to becoming a live-in son-in-law in a wealthy wife’s family, at the cost of his freedom and with added burdens. He said he has no regrets and does not feel he missed out.
“Now I earn money for the sake of freedom. Supporting myself with my own hard work feels great,” he said.
Fang Yilun was born in Jiaxing, Zhejiang, on December 26, 1992. He began his career as a singer with the group M4M in 2013 before moving into acting.
His most recent drama to finish airing is Shadow Punisher (魅影神捕), a 30-episode mystery costume drama that has streamed exclusively on iQIYI since October 2, 2026. The drama follows Li Si (Luo Yunxi), who joins the Divine Constables Bureau, a royal investigative agency, to look into an old murder case. Fang Yilun plays Meng Rui, a member of the team known as the Ghost Constable, alongside Shen Yujie. The final episodes were unlocked early for VIP subscribers on October 15 through a bonus-episode feature, while the regular schedule ended on October 22.
Before that, starting September 24, 2026, Fang Yilun played the male lead in Live Forever (长生契), a 20-episode drama on Bilibili. He plays Ning Changyue opposite Xie Keyin.
