Rumours

JunChun - modern/entertainment industry AU

Actor and performer Yu Tangchun needs money to pay for his medical bills, and thus works himself to the ground by going on small gigs to bars and parties, while at the same time taking on small acting roles in various small-scale film productions. His health deteriorates the longer he goes on without taking any breaks, but he fears that the company that he signed his contract with will let him go if they realise that he would cost them more money with his poor health. After all, the entertainment company that he works for, Pear Garden Entertainment, is a small, and fairly unknown company, so they would not keep an actor like Yu Tangchun, who is mostly known for his good looks and voice.

One morning he gets a call from his agent. The company has successfully landed him a supporting role in a high-budget production. The up-coming and highly anticipated series is starring a few very popular A-list celebrities, so this might be Yu Tangchun and Pear Garden’s breakthrough moment. Yu Tangchun accepts the job and is temporarily transferred over to East Wind Entertainment, a multimillion entertainment industry conglomerate owned by the Zhan Group.

On his first day on-set, Yu Tangchun helps Yuan Zining get to the filming location due to a mishap with the communication between the transportation team and the company staff. They meet up with the rest of the crew together, garnering a bit of publicity once a few photos are purposely leaked to the public by production. New fans quickly discover Yu Tangchun because of his striking looks and it doesn’t take long before they start shipping him with Yuan Zining. This eventually blows up and their interactions land on the top trending list. Yuan Zining, who plays the main female lead, is already shipped with her co-star by her large fanbase, so a storm is stirred up online. Fans of both the two A-list stars start trying to bring Yu Tangchun down.

It starts with accusations of Yu Tangchun clinging onto Yuan Zining for the fame. Production fan the flames by filming more behind-the-scenes of the two together, because any publicity is good publicity for the up-coming drama. It then escalates to Yu Tangchun being talentless and unworthy of his role because he only landed it due to his face and because he sought favours with the production team. Yu Tangchun continues working hard, ignoring the talk online like his agent advised him. His deteriorating health start showing on his body and antis begin circulating rumours of substance abuse. This is where production looses their control over the flow of publicity. Then finally a few months in, everything backfires; the top rumour becomes that Yu Tangchun slept with the chairman of the Zhan Group, Zhan Tianqing.

The rumour was spread by an anti who claimed to know some of the higher-ups of East Wind. Since this was a serious act of defamation against both Yu Tangchun and East Wind, the matter was not to be taken lightly.

The scandal drew the attention of the old chairman who quickly got annoyed by the commotion it was stirring up. Zhan Tianqing ordered his nephew Zhan Junbai, the current director of East Wind, to solve everything as fast as possible as he actually had a few skeletons in the closet regarding similar matters.

(I am thinking about writing a whole fic of this, but it might take quite some time.)

The way Zhan Junbai looks at him...

Oh, his little smile...he's a clever man Yu Tangchun is

can we please talk about jiang yuelou and chen yuzhi?

if you told me a couple of months ago that i wouldn't get over a series about a hot-tempered policeman and a gentle doctor, i wouldn't have believed you. however, here i am and i cannot fathom the fact that this series is so underrated. the chemistry, the whole plot, the characters: chen yuzhi, jiang yuelou, chu ran, yu tangchun, among many others, are so well-built and i think that just for this, it deserves more recognition.

BUT, i’m solely here to talk about these two. can we appreciate how beautiful their relationship is? i am aware that they fall under the bromance trope, but you cannot convince me they are merely close friends, not when the whole series is based on a bl novel. although they start off a bit hostile (i know, i know), the evident infatuation jiang yuelou develops towards chen yuzhi and vice versa is so romantic. he finds everything the doctor does endearing, from his quiet surprises to the way he’s always trying to help him psychologically. yuelou suffers emotionally due to his bipolar disorder, with violent outbursts and unstability that makes him throughout the series, you get to know that yuelou is not the kind of person to seek help, that he would rather confront everything by himself than ask guidance. yet, somehow — he always comes to yuzhi when he’s uneasy or confused. it’s not a secret in the police bureau either, song rong and sun yongren (the most loyal characters i’ve seen in a series, i have to say) are pretty much aware of his liking towards yuzhi’s company. even jin dacheng himself insinuated that both of them didn’t have an innocent relationship at all.

the hugs, the touches, THE LOOKS! oh my goodness, their stares were the death of me. i am the kind of person who never skips initial and final credits, so i was very eager to know the hospital scene that happens at the very end of the credits, because i was sure it would become my favourite. i was right and i won’t forget the feeling i was experiencing: the look of relief on yuelou to see yuzhi alive before his eyes, but being on the verge of tears because he knew yuzhi almost didn’t make it? it's a mixture between guilt, relief and love, all in one. absolutely delightful. it’s a repetitive pattern though: yuzhi gets in trouble, yuelou goes crazy and once he’s safe in his arms again, it’s like a part of yuelou’s soul is being reassured that the most important person in his life is alive, safe and sound. because, oh my… in the novel, yuelou considers the doctor his zhī jǐ: a person who understands him deeply no matter what, similar to a soulmate. thanks to an user on tumblr and their translations, i could get to know that, in the audiodrama, yuelou’s feels go beyond platonic. “you’re more significant than friends. people touch you, it’s the same thing as them going after my life.” THIS IS SO RAW AND EMOTIONAL, I’M GOING TO FAINT. the fact that even when yuelou and yuzhi were in danger, as zhan junbai was watching them over, yuelou straight up says: (on my own words, as my memory has been failing me lately)

“is there something between us that can’t be said? we're of the same mind.” i’m so... give me a minute, please *inaudible screams and screeches*

one thing i noticed a lot while watching the series is the fact yuzhi is a very gentle, soft-spoken and intelligent character, which already makes him likable (oh, i LOVE kind-hearted characters) but when you see him through yuelou’s pov — slow motioned movements, timid dimpled smiles, a person whose demeanour is described as pure even — he becomes even more lovable and that’s how yuelou sees yuzhi. how crazy in love yuelou must be to stare at yuzhi while doing mundane things, such as having dinner together? absolutely not focusing on the plate underneath him. instead, grinning with doe eyes as he watches yuzhi looking at the snowy night. ROMANTICISM ON ITS PEAK.

however, for me, the most special thing is to see yuzhi reassuring yuelou by holding his hand so dearly, by hugging him out of relief to see him alive too, by cradling his hand on yuelou’s cheek to brush his tears away. THE ENDING, I CAN’T CONTINUE MY LIFE AND PRETEND NOTHING HAPPENED.

yuzhi is slowly passing away on the other’s arms. yuzhi always wants to be near him and it gets highlighted in his final words, he was too wishing to eat tang yuan with now commissioner jiang yuelou. even on death, he’s under the snow with him. even on death, yuelou’s fondest memories are with chen yuzhi, for he keeps their photo together close to his heart despite grieving his absence and having to take care of yuzhi’s little sister. yuelou simply sits on his home all alone, with the emptiest eyes which once had the entire galaxy shared with yuzhi. not moving, not doing anything. i felt like i was mourning with yuelou, i will never forget how he quietly lays down beside yuzhi’s body while crying his heart out when he realized the inevitable.

WHY? WHY IS THE ANGST SO BRILLIANT WITH THEM? THE LONGING, THE YEARNING, THE LOVE. i’m afraid i won’t enjoy anything that doesn’t remind me of them. there was a before and an after in me, it literally reseted my entire smooth brain.

everyone, go watch killer and healer. 37 episodes are definitely worth the time!

just look at them, i will respectfully combust.

Hils Watches The King's Avatar - Ep 4

Why is this clock freaking me out? The number are all slightly off position

I legit laughed out loud. He joined their guild, got what he wanted, then immediately left. He's such a gremlin.

I'm not sure we needed the crotch/thigh shot of a female character when all the male characters are in full armour but yay angry lesbian has entered the game

I love her

YESSSSS! I generally go battle mage/offensive magic user when I play RPGs

Fired dude remains fired. I maintain what I said in my ep 1 reaction. He's either going to end up being friends with Ye Xiu and joining his team, or he's going to join the evil team and be an antagonist.

Oh, bitch, you did not just say that about her best bro

The code for Ye Xiu's room was 1234. What a nerd (affectionate)

Aww the code is significant! I feel bad for laughing about it now

I don't think I realised the internet cafe is that close to the team building. Practically next door.

Aww she saved his character poster after it got removed from the team building. To be fair that is probably also something I would do.

Oh no now it's sad

Oh no her deceased father was a fan and that's how she became one too. This is very angsty considering it's only the 4th episode.

I love that all the different team buildings have aesthetics that match their team name. Team Herb Garden is my favourite so far.

Unsurprisingly Team Tyranny looks like it would be at home on the Death Star.

Wait I know him! That's Yu Tangchun from Killer and Healer! Aww my boy!

Oh no I love the sunshine steamed bun already

[anitabandita]

Okay, okay, OKAY. So I’m rewatching Killer and Healer right now, and I just had a marvelous realization: in episode 5, we get a scene where Chu Ran is reading “Pride and Prejudice�� by Jane Austen:

Later on in the same episode, Jiang Yuelou, out of guilt or maybe because of something else as well, gifts the clinic to Chen Yuzhi:

He even makes him the goddamn sign.

Okay, so where am I going with this? Well, in “Pride and Prejudice”, Mr. Darcy wrongs Elizabeth by insulting both her and her family, as well as breaking her sister Jane’s heart by taking Mr. Bingley away. In Killer and Healer, Yuelou feels that he has wronged Yuzhi, for guilt for his sister. Mr Darcy redeems himself by helping first Elizabeth’s younger sister Lydia. It is also hinted that he was involved with the reunion between Jane and Mr. Bingley. Jiang Yuelou, as mentioned earlier, helps Chen Yuzhi get his own clinic.

Lastly, and this is important, neither Mr. Darcy not Jiang Yuelou wants to be found out. Mr. Darcy doesn’t want Elizabeth to know that he’s the one that helped her sister: he asks people to specifically not tell her. Jiang Yuelou does something similar: he doesn’t want Yuzhi to know that he helped him get the clinic. He asks Yu Tangchun to pose as the “benefactor” instead.

The parallel is striking: Mr. Darcy and Yuelou are both doing this not because they wish to show off or because they want to be perceived as good by Elizabeth/Yuzhi. They just want to help them because they care for them .

Like, please tell me I’m not reading into this too much, because it would actually be insane if the writers wrote such a parallel without even realizing it.

[evil-moonlight]

It's funny you said that you've been thinking about how if Jiang Yuelou and Ning Lan had met in another life...I actually have a WIP right now called 命运的红线 | The Red Strings of Fate where it's basically like Love is Written in the Stars, except Jiang Yuelou is a prince, Chen Yuzhi is an assassin, Yu Tangchun is the god of marriage, and Zhan Junbai is the god of calamity and destruction. Mine of course is MUCH more angsty (cuz I don't do comedy, angst with hurt/comfort is where it's at) but if you want to give it a try, the first three chapters are up.

But yeah, there are definitely some scenes, especially in the later episodes where I'm like "If there was a Jiang Yuelou character in this particular scene with Ning Lan, y'all would be fucking dead"

OMFG!!! NO YOU DIDN'T !!! 😭😭😭 SASS, YOU ARE DOING THE LORD'S WORK!!! I'M GONNA READ THIS! I'M GONNA~~ 🥺 Thank you for the link, Sass, and for writing about them in a different world and different situations with unique characterizations. Chen Yuzhi as an assassin PLEASE that's - i could not wish for anything more!!! Plus it's angsty (my favorite btw!!) I WILL DEFINITELY READ THIS! THANK YOU, MY BELOVED! ♡♡♡♡

[killerandhealerqueen]

Hi! How about a headcannon where everyone knows not to touch Chen Yuzhi or you're a dead man. All criminals know, if you don't want to die, don't look in Dr. Chen's direction. Yuzhi is difficult to kidnap, he knows how to fight well / with a policeman husband, and friends from the triad, you will be able to do everything/ But those who succeed do not live long. When the new gang caught Yuzhi and beat him up for not wanting to cooperate and for the fractures and bruises that the doctor left them during the abduction, they were sure that Jian Yuelou would take the hint and would not contact them. Only they miscalculated. The gang leader heard the phrase from a local bandit: "Chen Yuzhi is not a weakness of Jian Yuelou. He's his stopcock, the only one who can stop him. And you hurt him. Jian Yuelou will come for you and the whole city too. My advice to you, get out of town. If you can, of course." he added with a sneer. But the leader did not listen to the advice. And these idiots saw the appearance of the Jingchen Demon. Yuelou's rage knew no bounds. When the leader shouts for Jian Yuelou to be stopped, he hears from Yu Tangchun, who snuck in from the back door: "The only one who could stop him is now in a coma. You attacked the wrong person." I want the anger of the local gangs who respected Dr. Chen and came to the aid of Yuelou. I want Yuzhi's sarcastic answers to the demands of the gang leader. Yu Tangchun pulls out his daggers after learning about the attack on his friend. I wrote a lot again 🙈😅

*practically vibrates out of my skin* Oh, this is going to be delicious

This is going to be quite long, so it's going under the cut. Also, apologies for making you wait so long!

Jing City had two rules: 1) never sell opium and 2) never, under any circumstances, belittle, upset, talk down to, kidnap, torture, insult, accuse, attack, etc.…Dr. Chen Yuzhi

Now the first rule made sense but the second rule…to anyone who was new to Jing City, the rule seemed a little ridiculous, until it was explained to them

You see, Dr. Chen Yuzhi was the city’s most beloved and respected doctor, who treated everyone as an equal, even the gangsters

He was also Commissioner Jiang Yuelou’s husband, who was rather possessive of the young doctor and tended to…lose his temper whenever he thought that Chen Yuzhi was upset or hurt or whatever

All of the gangs in Jing City knew by now not to mess with Chen Yuzhi, lest they wanted Jiang Yuelou showing up at their doorstep like a feral beast ready to tear out their throats

And, to prevent any newer gangs from making the mistake of setting Jiang Yuelou off, they warned them about what was allowed to be done in Jing City

Most newer gangs listened, because they had heard of Jiang Yuelou and his temper and what he did to gangs who didn’t listen, but there was one gang who, when told about what not to do, scoffed at the idea that some police chief could hurt them if they messed with this doctor or whatever

Of course, the gangs warned them but the new gang didn’t care; they were going to rule Jing City and no “Commissioner Jiang” was going to stop them

It was a normal, quiet morning as Chen Yuzhi headed to work, humming softly as the cool fall air caressed his face

When he finally reached his clinic, he reached out and grabbed the padlock, about to unlock it when a throat cleared behind him, making him look over his shoulder to see a group of men standing before him

“Can I help you gentlemen?”

“You Dr. Chen Yuzhi?”

Chen Yuzhi nodded slowly

“Yes…”

One of the men smiled

“Great.  The boss wants to meet you”

Chen Yuzhi frowned, just as the man surged forward and shoved a cloth in his face, causing his eyes to widen before they fluttered and he collapsed, his kit crashing to the ground as the men quickly rushed forward and caught him

Once he was unconscious, the men looked around before they carried him off, not realizing that a group of street children had seen the entire exchange

The group of children then looked at each other before they split up, half of them going after the men that kidnapped Chen Yuzhi while the other half went to go tell Jiang Yuelou had happened

When Chen Yuzhi woke up a little while later, he found himself tied to a chair in the middle of a warehouse, causing him to sigh heavily; it was far too early in the day to be kidnapped already

“So…you’re Dr. Chen”

Chen Yuzhi looked up to see a man slowly walking towards him, a sly smile on his face

“Yes?  And you are?”

The man smirked

“Your new business partner”

Chen Yuzhi frowned

“Excuse me?”

The man smiled

“You see, I created a variant of opium and I…need a distributor.  That’s where you come in, Dr. Chen”

Chen Yuzhi looked at him in shock before he shook his head

“Absolutely not!  I will not help you distribute drugs!”

The man tsked and shook his head as he held out his hand, one of his lackies quickly placing a pill into in

“That’s because you haven’t tried it yet.  Once you try it, you’ll want to distribute it.  Here”

He then took a step forward and reached out, grabbing Chen Yuzhi’s face in his hand before he took the pill and shoved it between Chen Yuzhi’s tightly pursed lips, smiling as he took a step back

“See?  Ain’t it pretty good?”

Chen Yuzhi was quiet before he looked him in the eyes and spat the pill back in his face, the man flinching as the pill hit him in the face before he growled and clenched his hand into a fist

“Why you—”

He then swung and punched Chen Yuzhi in the face, snapping his head to the side

“You bitch!  Don’t you know each pill is expensive?!  You just wasted product!”

He then punched Chen Yuzhi again, causing Chen Yuzhi to gasp in pain and the other members of the gang to look at their leader with hesitation

“Uh…boss…do you really think you should be doing that?  I mean…you heard what those other gangs and triads said about hurting him—”

“I don’t give a SHIT about that Commissioner Jiang or the fucking rules…this doctor disrespected me…and disrespect must be dealt with”

He then began to beat Chen Yuzhi almost senseless, Chen Yuzhi’s pained cries echoing throughout the empty warehouse

While he was beating Chen Yuzhi almost to death, back in the city, at the police station, Jiang Yuelou was sitting at his desk, going over reports, when an officer stepped into his office

“Commissioner”

Jiang Yuelou looked up at him and raised an eyebrow

“What is it?”

“You have a visitor sir”

Jiang Yuelou frowned before he waved his hand

“Send them in”

The officer nodded before he turned and stepped out of the room, one of the street children stepping in a moment later

“Commissioner”

Jiang Yuelou looked at them in surprise

“What are you doing here?”

“Dr. Chen was kidnapped”

Jiang Yuelou blinked, almost as if the words didn’t register

“What?”

The child looked at him calmly

“Dr. Chen was kidnapped”

When the words finally registered, Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widened and he shot to his feet, slamming his hands on his desk

“WHAT?!”

At the loud noise, the child flinched causing Jiang Yuelou to wince slightly before he took a deep breath and looked at them

“Who?  Who took him?”

The child shook their head

“I’ve never seen them before; they’re not familiar to us”

Jiang Yuelou hummed

“So a new gang then?”

The child nodded

“We think so”

Jiang Yuelou growled softly before he looked them in the eyes

“Do you know where he was taken?”

The child shook their head

“No, but a few of us followed after them.  When they come back, they should tell us”

Jiang Yuelou nodded slowly, just as a child rushed into the office, looking at Jiang Yuelou with wide eyes

“Commissioner”

“Did you find them?”

The child nodded

“Yes, but we need to hurry.  They’re hurting Dr. Chen”

Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widened before he looked at the doors of his office

“SONG RONG!  SUN YONGREN!  JIN DACHENG!”

At their names, Jiang Yuelou’s three subordinates, Vice-Commissioner Jin Dacheng, and Chiefs Song Rong and Sun Yongren rushed into the room, their eyes wide

“Yes Commissioner?”

“Chen Yuzhi has been kidnapped and we need to act fast”

Jin Dacheng, Song Rong, and Sun Yongren nodded as Jiang Yuelou pointed to the child that had just entered the room

“Jin Dacheng, allow this child to ride in your car.  He knows the way to where Chen Yuzhi is being held”

Jin Dacheng nodded before he looked down at the child

“This way”

The child nodded and quickly followed after him as Jiang Yuelou looked at Song Rong and Sun Yongren

“Let’s go”

The two men nodded and quickly rushed out of the room as Jiang Yuelou walked around his desk, making to follow when he paused and looked down at the child who had reported Chen Yuzhi’s kidnapping

“Find out who kidnapped Chen Yuzhi.  Use your connections, talk to the other gangs.  I want a name”

The child nodded and quickly rushed out of the office as Jiang Yuelou followed behind, fire in his eyes

Someone was going to die

Back at the warehouse, the gang leader was still whaling on Chen Yuzhi until he finally punched the young doctor so hard that he caused him and the chair to crash to the ground, Chen Yuzhi limp in his bindings

As soon as he hit the ground, the subordinates looked at their leader nervously

“Boss did you…did you kill him?”

The gang leader said nothing before he looked over at them

“Let’s get out of here”

His subordinates looked at him in shock before they nodded, all of them quickly running out of the warehouse, leaving Chen Yuzhi behind, not even realizing that one of the street children that had stayed behind when the other child ran off to alert Jiang Yuelou was following after them

While they were running away, a moment or two later, Jiang Yuelou and the others arrived, all of them bursting into the warehouse before they looked around, Jin Dacheng immediately noticing Chen Yuzhi on the ground

“Jiang Yuelou”

Jiang Yuelou looked over at him before he looked towards where he was pointing, his eyes widening at the sight of Chen Yuzhi on the ground and tied to the chair

“Yuzhi!”

He then ran over to Chen Yuzhi and knelt before him, his heart immediately sinking to his stomach at the sight of the bruises covering his face

“Yuzhi”

He then noticed that his chest wasn’t rising and falling, causing a cold chill to run through him before he reached out and placed his fingers to Chen Yuzhi’s pulse-point, silently praying that there was one

Thankfully he felt a pulse, causing him to let out a heavy sigh of relief before he looked up at Song Rong

“Song Rong, give me your knife”

Song Rong nodded and quickly walked over to him, handing him his knife that he always kept on him

Jiang Yuelou then took the knife and cut the bonds keeping Chen Yuzhi tied to the chair, handing Song Rong back the knife before he reached out and pulled Chen Yuzhi into his arms, carefully holding him close as he slowly pushed himself to his feet

“Let’s get him to a hospital”

After leaving the warehouse, Jiang Yuelou, Song Rong, Sun Yongren, and Jin Dacheng headed to the hospital, Jiang Yuelou passing off Chen Yuzhi to the waiting staff

While Chen Yuzhi was rushed to the ER to make sure that the beating he had sustained hadn’t broken anything serious and that he didn’t have any internal bleeding or ruptured organs, Jiang Yuelou paced outside in the waiting room, his entire body taut like a tiger pacing its cage

He didn’t know who kidnapped his husband and tortured him and he didn’t know why…but he was going to find them…

And he was going to tear them limb from limb

As he paced, Song Rong, Sun Yongren, and Jin Dacheng stood nearby, keeping an eye on him, since they knew that he was close to snapping

A little while later, the doctor came out and walked over to them, making the four men look at him

“Doctor.  How is he?”

The doctor was quiet and glanced over at Song Rong, Sun Yongren, and Jin Dacheng before he looked at Jiang Yuelou

“Your husband is very lucky to be alive, Commissioner.  He was beaten within an inch of his life.  He’s currently in critical condition and is unconscious…if he wakes up, it’ll be a miracle”

Jiang Yuelou was quiet before he nodded slowly

“Thank you.  Can I see him?”

The doctor nodded

“It won’t be a pretty sight, but you can”

Jiang Yuelou nodded and made to follow the doctor when he paused and looked over at Jin Dacheng, Song Rong, and Sun Yongren

“Go back to the warehouse and search it.  There’s got to be something there that will lead us to whoever kidnapped and beat Chen Yuzhi”

Jin Dacheng, Song Rong, and Sun Yongren nodded before they turned and headed out of the hospital, heading back to the warehouse

While they were heading to the warehouse, Jiang Yuelou followed the doctor to Chen Yuzhi’s room, the doctor dipping his head to him before he walked away, giving him privacy

Once he had left, Jiang Yuelou took a deep, shuddering breath before he reached out and slid open the hospital room door, stepping inside before he quietly closed the door behind him and made his way over to Chen Yuzhi’s bed, stopping at the foot of it

He looked at Chen Yuzhi for a moment, at his bruised and battered body and the tubes that were sticking out of it, and let out another shuddering breath before he slowly walked over to the side of the bed and sat down, reaching out to gently take Chen Yuzhi’s hand in his

“I’m sorry, my love.  I’m so sorry”

He then fell silent and just sat there, gently holding Chen Yuzhi’s hand in his, the only sound in the room the sound of the heart monitor steadily beeping

As he sat there in silence, just holding his beloved’s hand, the door to the room quietly slid open before a man slipped inside and walked over to him

“Zhan-xiong”

The man smirked

“Nothing gets past you, Jiang-xiong”

Jiang Yuelou glanced over at the man

“You’re back from Hong Kong”

The man, Zhan Junbai, hummed softly

“I heard what happened to Dr. Chen.  I figured you could use my help”

Jiang Yuelou turned to look at him

“You know Jinma Hall no longer exists, right?”

Zhan Junbai smiled

“I know.  But I’m still San Ye and I still have ties to the criminal underground”

Jiang Yuelou hummed

“Think you can use your connections and figure out who did this?”

Zhan Junbai nodded

“I’ll ask Fu Cheng too.  Gang leaders like to unwind in opera houses…he might be able to ask around”

Jiang Yuelou nodded

“Thank you”

Zhan Junbai nodded before he looked at Chen Yuzhi

“How is he?”

Jiang Yuelou shook his head

“Not good…”

He then looked up at Zhan Junbai with glassy eyes

“They almost beat him to death, Zhan-xiong”

Zhan Junbai was quiet before he stepped forward and reached out, gently grasping him by the shoulder

“We will find them, Jiang-xiong.  I promise you”

Jiang Yuelou nodded weakly as Zhan Junbai moved his hand from his shoulder to his neck, giving it a comforting squeeze before he looked at him

“You should get some rest”

Jiang Yuelou shook his head

“I can’t leave him.  I can’t”

Zhan Junbai nodded

“I understand.  But make sure you rest and eat at some point.  Dr. Chen wouldn’t want you to waste away at his bedside.  You know that”

Jiang Yuelou nodded

“I know…I know.  And I will.  But just…not now”

Zhan Junbai nodded

“Of course”

He then gave his neck another comforting squeeze before he turned and slipped out of the room, leaving Jiang Yuelou alone again

While Jiang Yuelou was sitting at Chen Yuzhi’s bedside, back at the warehouse, Song Rong, Jin Dacheng, and Sun Yongren were looking around, searching for any clue they could find that could tie them to the kidnappers

As they looked around, Sun Yongren noticed something, causing him to kneel down before his eyes widened and he looked over at the others

“Hey, look at this”

Jin Dacheng and Song Rong looked over at him before they walked over and knelt down beside him

“What?”

Sun Yongren pointed to a white-looking pill on the ground

“A pill”

Jin Dacheng frowned

“You think it belonged to Dr. Chen?”

Song Rong shook his head

“It’s not the shape of the pills he usually uses or prescribes”

Sun Yongren then reached into his pocket and pulled out a pair of white gloves, quickly slipping them on before he reached out and picked up the pill, looking at it

“We should probably take it to a chemist and have them examine it”

Song Rong frowned

“But the only person who we use as our “chemist” is Dr. Chen…and he’s in the hospital.  In critical condition”

Jin Dacheng huffed

“Well there’s gotta be someone in this fucking city who can test this fucking pill”

“There’s no need to test it.  It’s opium”

Jin Dacheng, Song Rong, and Sun Yongren turned, their eyes widening in shock

“Executive Zhan”

They then quickly pushed themselves to their feet as Zhan Junbai slowly walked over to them and stood before them

“What are you doing here?”

“Assisting with this case”

He then held out his hand

“May I?”

Sun Yongren looked at his bare hand, just as Jin Dacheng reached into his pocket and pulled out a glove, handing it to him

“Put this on first”

Zhan Junbai huffed softly before he took the glove and slipped it on, Sun Yongren placing the pill in it a moment later

He then took the pill and held it up, studying it for a moment before he nodded

“I was right.  It’s opium”

Jin Dacheng looked at him in shock

“You can tell just by looking at it?!”

Zhan Junbai chuckled softly

“Vice-Commissioner Jin, it seems you forget that I was once the biggest supplier and distributor of opium in Jing City.  Yes I can tell just by looking at it”

Song Rong then shook his head

“How is there opium in Jing City?  The commissioner eradicated it after the fall of Jinma Hall and he made the rules!  The gangs know better!”

Zhan Junbai hummed

“Yes, they do.  But there’s been whispers in the underground of a new gang that has decided to ignore the rules…which would explain Chen Yuzhi’s kidnapping”

Jin Dacheng, Song Rong, and Sun Yongren looked at him in confusion

“I don’t understand”

Zhan Junbai motioned to the pill

“If this pill has been produced/manufactured, then they need a distributor.  It’s hard to do it on the street, because many gangs know better, but if the gang has a distributor like Chen Yuzhi, who can disguise the pills as medication, it’ll be rather easy to completely addict the entire city”

Song Rong nodded slowly

“And I’m guessing that Chen Yuzhi refused, and they beat him nearly to death because of it?”

Zhan Junbai nodded

“Exactly”

Jin Dacheng crossed his arms

“And do you have any idea who this gang is?”

Zhan Junbai shook his head

“My spies are still searching.  But it won’t be long before we have a name”

Jin Dacheng, Song Rong, and Sun Yongren nodded as Zhan Junbai handed them back the pill

“You should go report that to Jiang Yuelou”

He then turned and headed out of the warehouse, Jin Dacheng, Song Rong, and Sun Yongren staring after him before Jin Dacheng huffed

“You heard the man; let’s go talk to Jiang Yuelou”

A little while later, Jin Dacheng, Song Rong, and Sun Yongren stepped into Chen Yuzhi’s hospital room, all of the men’s eyes widening at the sight of the young doctor lying in the hospital bed before Sun Yongren cleared his throat

“Boss”

Jiang Yuelou glanced over at them and raised an eyebrow

“Got something?”

Sun Yongren nodded before he stepped forward and held out his hand, the pill in the middle of his palm

“We found this in the warehouse”

Jiang Yuelou looked at the pill and frowned

“What is that?”

Jin Dacheng crossed his arms

“According to Zhan Junbai, opium”

Jiang Yuelou looked up at him with wide eyes

“What?”

Song Rong nodded

“He said that it be the motive for why Dr. Chen was kidnapped and beaten.  This gang created opium and needed someone to distribute it because they knew trying to get the other gangs to buy and distribute would be impossible because of the rule.  So they kidnapped Dr. Chen and tried to recruit him, but he rejected them”

Jiang Yuelou hummed and nodded slowly but Jin Dacheng, Song Rong, and Sun Yongren immediately noticed the way his body began to tremble with barely concealed rage

“So they beat him, is that it?”

Song Rong, Sun Yongren, and Jin Dacheng nodded

“Yes sir”

Jiang Yuelou nodded slowly again before he looked at them

“Do we have a name?”

Song Rong shook his head

“No sir.  Not yet”

Jiang Yuelou nodded before he waved them away

“Don’t disturb me until you have a name and a location”

Jin Dacheng, Song Rong, and Sun Yongren nodded before they turned and headed out of the hospital room, Jiang Yuelou waiting until the door closed before he looked back at Chen Yuzhi, whose eyes were still closed

“Don’t worry, A-Zhi.  I will punish those that hurt you.  That’s a promise”

Over the next few days, while Jiang Yuelou remained by Chen Yuzhi’s side to keep an eye on him and his condition, his subordinates, his spies, Zhan Junbai, Yu Tangchun, and their spies worked tirelessly to figure out just which gang had broken Jing City’s two most important rules

Then one day, as Jiang Yuelou was quietly sitting at Chen Yuzhi’s bedside, the door to the room slid open, Zhan Junbai and one of the street children stepping inside

“Jiang-xiong”

Jiang Yuelou looked up at them and raised an eyebrow

“Yes?”

Zhan Junbai, however, didn’t answer, and just looked at him, causing his eyes to widen before he pushed himself to his feet

“Where”

Zhan Junbai motioned to the child, making Jiang Yuelou look at them

“Can you take us to them?”

The child nodded, Jiang Yuelou nodding in reply before he looked at Zhan Junbai

“Let’s go”

Zhan Junbai nodded before they turned and headed out of the hospital room, Jiang Yuelou pausing to look one last time at Chen Yuzhi before he continued after the child and Zhan Junbai out of the hospital, only to stop in shock at the sight of nearly every gang and triad in Jing City standing before him

“What…what is this?”

One of the gang leaders smiled

“We heard what happened to Dr. Chen…and we’re here to offer our support, Commissioner Jiang”

Jiang Yuelou huffed

“How do you know what I’m going to do?”

A triad leader laughed

“Because we know you, Commissioner Jiang.  Dr. Chen was hurt which means that the poor soul has no idea what’s in store for them”

Jiang Yuelou looked at all of them and smiled slightly before the smile fell and a dark look entered his face

“Let’s go then”

He then stepped forward, the gangs quickly parting like the red sea for Moses as he made his way through the streets of Jing City, the gangs falling into step behind him

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of town, the gang that had kidnapped and attacked Chen Yuzhi were busy working on creating more opium, not even realizing that a literal wave of death was making its way towards them

As they worked on process the opium, one of the subordinates looked over at their boss

“Boss…aren’t you worried about Jiang Yuelou coming after us?  We did kidnap and attack Dr. Chen”

The leader scoffed

“If he hasn’t attacked us by now, I doubt he’s going to do.  From what I know about Jiang Yuelou, he’s one of those “shoot first, ask questions later” type of people”

Just then, a laugh echoed throughout the warehouse, making the leader and his subordinates freeze before the leader pulled out a gun and looked around

“Who’s there?”

“You think you know Jiang Yuelou?  Oh, you stupid, stupid fool”

The leader then looked up to see Zhan Junbai and Yu Tangchun up on the landing, both men leaning against the railing

“Who are you?”

Zhan Junbai grinned

“Jiang Yuelou is much smarter than you…and much more dangerous”

The leader scoffed

“More dangerous than me?  I doubt it.  I put his “beloved doctor” in the hospital.  He’s probably too distraught to do anything to stop me”

Just then, the doors to the warehouse burst open, making the leader and the subordinates turn to see Jiang Yuelou, along with every other gang in Jing City, standing at the entrance of the warehouse, a dark look on Jiang Yuelou’s face

“J-Jiang Yuelou”

Jiang Yuelou then surveyed the warehouse before he hummed softly

“Which one of you put my husband in the hospital?”

Without any hesitation, the subordinates (plus Zhan Junbai and Yu Tangchun) immediately pointed to the leader, causing Jiang Yuelou to look at him with narrowed eyes

“You, huh?”

He then slowly began to make his way towards the leader, causing the leader’s eyes to widen before he looked at his subordinates and pointed to Jiang Yuelou

“Stop him!  Stop him, you idiots!”

Up on the landing, Yu Tangchun barked out a laugh

“You idiot.  No one here is going to save you and no one here is going to stop him.  Why? Because you put Chen Yuzhi in the hospital.  You put the one person who can stop him in a coma.  And now you have a target on your back”

He then grinned darkly

“And Jiang Yuelou is like a homing missile.  Nothing will stop him until he hits his target”

The leader gulped before he looked back at Jiang Yuelou, who was slowly advancing towards him, and pulled out his gun, pointing it at him

“Stop!  Stop right there, Jiang Yuelou!”

Jiang Yuelou, however, made no move to stop and continued forward, causing the leader to panic before he fired a warning shot at the ground, only to let out a cry of fear as Jiang Yuelou continued towards him

He then looked towards his subordinates and motioned to Jiang Yuelou

“Well don’t just stand there, kill him!”

At his shout, the subordinates quickly snapped out of it and pulled out their guns, pointing them at Jiang Yuelou but before they could even fire, Jiang Yuelou drew his own gun and fired, hitting a subordinate with deadly precision without even looking

As the subordinate went down, the leader’s eyes widened before he raised his gun and fired at Jiang Yuelou, causing him to duck behind a nearby crate for cover before he stood up and fired at him in return, forcing him to take cover

The leader then let out a harsh breath before he peeked out from behind his hiding spot towards where Jiang Yuelou was hiding and hummed softly before he looked towards the large crowd of gang members and grinned

“Hey Jiang Yuelou!”

Jiang Yuelou peered over his crate at him, his eyes narrowed as he pointed his gun at the gang members

“Your husband ain’t the only body I’m going to be putting in the hospital!”

He then fired a shot into the crowd, hitting one of the gang members in the chest

As the gang member went down, the other gang members pulled out their guns and began firing back, soon turning the warehouse into a battlefield

While everyone was shooting at each other, Jiang Yuelou kept his eye on the leader’s position, making sure that he wasn’t being shot at before he quickly made his way over to his position, startling the man

“You!”

He then raised his gun but before he could fire, Jiang Yuelou shot him in the leg, sending him to the ground with a cry

He then stepped forward and kicked the gun out of his hand before he knelt down before him, pressing the gun between his eyes

“I could kill you…easily.  Your life would be over in a heartbeat.  But I won’t do that”

The leader looked at him in confusion

“What?”

Jiang Yuelou snarled

“I am going to do to you what you did to my husband”

He then punch him in the face, causing his head to snap to the side before he looked back at him, only for Jiang Yuelou to punch him again

He then began to repeated punch the man in the face, punching him until there was more blood than skin on his face

Once he had beaten him to a bloody pulp, Jiang Yuelou pushed himself to his feet and pointed his gun at the gang leader

“Tell the King of Hell the Demon of Jing City sends his regards”

He then fired a shot into the gang leader’s head, watching as his body fell limp before he raised his gun and fired a shot into the air, causing all of the gang members to freeze as he stepped out from behind the boxes and looked at them

“It’s over”

He then looked at the gangs who came to his aid and motioned to the warehouse

“Clean this up.  Destroy all of this.  And if I see any of this out on my streets, just know that I’ll be paying a visit.  Are we clear?”

“Yes Commissioner!”

Jiang Yuelou nodded

“Good.  I didn’t see anything that happened in here and I don’t want to know what happens after I leave”

He then continued out of the warehouse, allowing the gangs to deal with the opium and the subordinates in their fashion

After leaving the warehouse, Jiang Yuelou headed back to the hospital, stepping inside just as one of the doctors walked over to him

“Commissioner”

Jiang Yuelou looked at him with wide eyes

“Did something happen?”

The doctor nodded

“Dr. Chen is able to breathe on his own, so we removed the breathing tube.  I think he’ll be able to wake up soon”

Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widened even further before he nodded

“Alright, thank you”

He then quickly walked past him and made his way towards Chen Yuzhi’s room, quietly opening the door before he stepped inside and made his way over to his hospital bed, sitting beside it before he reached out and took his hand, giving it a squeeze

“I found him, Yuzhi.  I found the person who hurt you.  I punished him”

He then let out a shuddering breath and gave his hand another squeeze before he fell silent, the sound of the heart monitor beeping in his ear, when he felt a weak squeeze, making his eyes widen before he looked over to see Chen Yuzhi slowly opening his eyes

“Chen Yuzhi”

Chen Yuzhi then slowly turned to look at him and smiled weakly

“Jiang Yuelou”

Jiang Yuelou then slowly stood to his feet, careful not to move too fast in fear of startling Chen Yuzhi, before he leaned over and pressed a gentle kiss to his forehead before he gently rested his forehead against his

“You’re alright.  Thank God”

Chen Yuzhi hummed as Jiang Yuelou gently cupped his cheek in his hand

“How are you feeling?”

Chen Yuzhi shook his head

“Sore.  Everything hurts”

Jiang Yuelou nodded as he gently stroked his cheek

“I know…I know, and I’m sorry.  I’m sorry that this happened.  But I took care of it.  They can’t hurt you or Jing City anymore”

Chen Yuzhi looked at him

“Really?”

Jiang Yuelou nodded sincerely

“I took care of it”

Chen Yuzhi hummed softly before he yawned, causing Jiang Yuelou to smile softly before he leaned forward and pressed another soft kiss to his forehead

“Get some rest.  Get some rest, I’ll be here when you wake up”

Chen Yuzhi nodded and allowed himself to slip off to sleep, Jiang Yuelou watching him fondly before he sat down beside him and took his hand in his, lacing their fingers together before he gave it a squeeze

Over the next few days, as Chen Yuzhi slowly recovered, Jiang Yuelou remained at his side, only ever leaving if there was a meeting he absolutely had to attend or if there was a case where he was needed

Other than that, he refused to leave his husband’s side

When Chen Yuzhi was finally able to go home, Jiang Yuelou took off from work and took him home, deciding to just spend the day with him

As they relaxed on the couch, there was a knock on the door, making him and Chen Yuzhi look up before Jiang Yuelou looked over at Chen Yuzhi

“I’ll get it.  You just rest”

Chen Yuzhi nodded as he pushed himself to his feet and walked over to the door, opening it to find Zhan Junbai standing outside

“Zhan-xiong”

Zhan Junbai smiled slightly

“How is he?”

Jiang Yuelou nodded

“Better.  Still sore, so he won’t be working for a while”

Zhan Junbai nodded

“I see.  Well, it’s good that he has you during this time”

Jiang Yuelou nodded before he stepped out of the house and closed the gate behind him, looking at Zhan Junbai for a moment before he held out his hand

Zhan Junbai looked at the outstretched hand with a raised eyebrow before he smiled and reached out, taking his hand in his, when Jiang Yuelou suddenly pulled him in for a hug, hugging him tightly

“Thank you, Zhan-xiong”

Zhan Junbai blinked in surprise before he chuckled softly and wrapped his arms around him, returning the hug

“You’re welcome”

They then pulled away as Zhan Junbai looked at Jiang Yuelou and smiled

“Take care, Jiang-xiong.  And take care of Dr. Chen too, understand?”

Jiang Yuelou nodded

“I will”

Zhan Junbai smiled

“I know you will.  Tell Dr. Chen I said hello”

He then turned and walked off, Jiang Yuelou watching him leave before he turned and headed back inside, heading back over to where Chen Yuzhi was sitting on the couch, absentmindedly stroking Xiao Bai (who was all over him because he missed him)

“Who was that?”

Jiang Yuelou smiled

“Zhan Junbai”

Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widened

“Z-Zhan Junbai?  What is he doing here?”

Jiang Yuelou smiled

“He helped me figured out who kidnapped and attacked you”

Chen Yuzhi looked at him in surprise

“He…he did?”

Jiang Yuelou nodded

“Mmhm”

Chen Yuzhi blinked

“Oh”

Jiang Yuelou chuckled

“He says hello, by the way”

Chen Yuzhi hummed, just as Jiang Yuelou leaned over and pressed a kiss to the side of his head

“Just take it easy.  Just rest.  Today is all about resting”

Chen Yuzhi huffed softly

“All I’ve been doing is resting”

Jiang Yuelou chuckled

“Because you need it, dear”

Chen Yuzhi hummed before he shifted so that he was lying down, his head resting on Jiang Yuelou’s lap while the rest of him stretched out on the couch, Xiao Bai resting on his stomach

“Fine.  If you insist”

Jiang Yuelou chuckled fondly before he reached up and gently began to run his fingers through Chen Yuzhi’s hair, watching as Chen Yuzhi slowly relaxed and slipped off to sleep

As he watched him sleep, Jiang Yuelou couldn’t help but smile fondly

He had his husband back in his arms again

Everything was right with the world

it’s better than an o-per-a (part. 2)

[thienna]

I translated the fix-it ending from the screenwriter of the show. [Source here]

I’m neither a native speaker of English nor Chinese, and am also not good with words. But this ending is so perfect that I wanted to try my best to share with you all. It is from the screenwriter, so it's canon in my mind. And I personally think you can’t ask for a better ending than this. I hope this makes you feel just as happy as it did for me. I had a smile on the whole time I was reading / translating it. :)

(PS: Audio drama please outdo this if you can.)

(PSS: This was written in movie-script format. Colored lines are dialogs, for your convenience.)
