The Starry Love | You’re so old yet you still want a wife?

[lilianhuas]

[xxmothangelxx]

Just finished Farewell Fireworks!

And I liked it! Admittedly I'm biased because design wise these are some of my favorite espers, but I really did enjoy it!

I'm a bit surprised they went with the "espers are somewhat of an oppressed minority" approach, though it's been implied to be something that happens behind closed doors (see, the esper black market from Brewster's event and the treatment of espers in Nether Gaol) it's rarely brought to the forefront. I like how they did it though, perhaps I'm just used to the Esper Union making their workers lowkey celebrities that I forget that average espers don't have it as easy.

I liked the conflict between Yu Ran and Yu Xu, the idea that the former chooses to be more docile and accepting of mistreatment as to keep a career and the other is more critical of it is an interesting juxtaposition to explore. You see this a lot among minority groups – see, the pick me and the feminist dichotomy. I sort of wish they delved into it a little bit more, but the event wasn't necessarily about that so we move.

Su Jue stole the show for me and she was absolutely justified in everything she did, and I would not have been upset had she actually killed Li Tiangang herself. I'm sorry, but based on the sprite used she was a teen/young woman when she was incarcerated and abused. Again, the way Dislyte consistently highlights that inmate abuse is a prevalent thing in their universe is so fascinating because few do that, and the few that do try and downplay it and make it seem like deserved retribution. I won't say Su Jue didn't deserve to be arrested, but she sure as hell didn't deserved to be cut, sliced, burned, force fed medicine and perved on by old creepy guards. #SuJueDidNothingWrong #RestInPissLiTiangang

I have mixed feelings towards Qin Shui. On one hand his plan to frame espers and crack down on them was inexcusable, but I can't help but empathize with his plight, I mean, Li Tiangang is an abusive, cruel man and so I struggle to truly hold anything against the guy who finally snuffed him out lmao. Though, I don't really know Ren Xian, is he from one of the other events I missed? If so oof, if not then I really hope he shows up, Qin Shui seemed genuinely afraid of him and now I'm hella curious.

TLDR: It was a really good event and I loved every character involved! Except Li Tiangang, he's playing double dutch with Epstein in hell as we speak.

Story notes for the nonnie who asked. Original shortfic is over here. Quick summary:

Timeline where all the Jin bastards are "legitimate" (read: take that with many grains of salt) because Jin Guangshan was a different stripe of asshole and kept all their mothers as willing or unwilling concubines. Also when the war broke out, he threw his support behind Wen Ruohan, resulting in the Sunshot Campaign being crushed after Nie Mingjue was killed on the battlefield.

Okay, so!

It quickly becomes apparent that Wen Xu is not pleased Huaisang was sold to someone else (he was supposed to be delivered directly to him and there was a mixup in the orders, people literally die over this), so the brothers have to make an effort to keep Huaisang hidden from him both for their sake and for his (because it's not real hard to guess motive).

As they become more and more attached to him and sympathetic to his situation, they start treating him less like a decoration or a pet and more like a... well, it's complicated.

They eventually enlist help from their half-sister Qin Su (her parentage is known, but Qin Cangye refused to give her or her mother up and Jin Guangshan was eventually convinced it would be Bad PR to steal his supposed best friend's wife by force) for any time it becomes apparent Huaisang won't be safe to hide anywhere in Koi Tower and he has to be stashed somewhere else.

Because she doesn't wear Jin colors, Huaisang is slightly less of a blank doll with her, to the point that she can eventually coax him into 'speaking' via little written notes. Once he becomes aware of how hard they're working to keep him out of the inner Wen family's hands, he starts warming up to the brothers.

He is never going to fully recover from his brother's death and whatever happened between the Wen forces arriving to take him captive and him being sold, but the three siblings working together are able to put some of his pieces back together.

Eventually Jin Zixuan accidentally discovers what his brothers and sister have been doing, but since he never liked his father siding with Wen Ruohan in the first place, he doesn't rat them out, and even (awkwardly) covers for them whenever someone who'd be much less sympathetic is on the verge of discovering Huaisang.

(He has his own secrets to keep, namely he and his own "war prize" wife (really, Father, please stop bringing that up) Jiang Yanli have been hiding the fact that her brother and martial brother are still alive somewhere.)

So basically now, four out of however many Jinsibs are all working to harbor people Jin Guangshan's "friends" want to get their hands on really badly.

Hm, I can tell there are pieces missing from this list but I can't remember exactly what they were. I think there was a plan that if Huaisang was ever discovered, Qin Su was going to try to claim him as a betrothed? But that their relationship was pretty much just cuddly platonic?

Psych-Hunter was the closet we got to KOD before Spirealm, but still remains one of my most loved dramas of all-time.

The Starry Love | Oh no!!

[binging-asian-dramas]

Catch Up My Prince. 6-7

Story: 6

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 10

Comparable to: Go and Domain Your Game (cdrama); Unique Lady (cdrama); Love 020 (cdrama)

Probably top tier of storyline being so messed not making a lick of sense, especially in the beginning episodes. It takes a handful of episodes at least to episode eight where the storyline takes a bit of form, but nothing really still connects with lots of plot holes. What draws you in though is the phenomenal chemistry between the main leads, for me especially Liu Yichang is a huge highlight in this. The rest of the cast is amazing as well. I love the whole dynamic of all of them together.

[killerandhealerqueen]

Prompt: Jiang Shuo and Qin Yiheng meets Wushang and Dayu. Wushang suspects Jiang Shuo as a suspect and follows him to Qin Yiheng's clinic. Jiang Shuo just wants a stress free day with his favorite doctor and partner. Wushang wants the case solved. Dayu wants Wushang to relax before he loses more hair. Yiheng just wants the peace and quiet back in his clinic again.

Oh, another crossover...how fun

Wushuang was pissed.  He had been staring at his case file for over almost an hour before he let out a low groan and pushed himself to his feet, looking out of his office at his subordinates.

            “Dayu!” he called out, making his youngest officer, Wang Dayu, look up at him.

            “Yes shifu?” he replied.  Wushuang huffed.

            “We’re heading out.  I need air” he declared as he headed out of his office, Dayu frowning as he walked away.

            “Um…why do I have to come?” he asked, just as Xu Dong and Qi Ran both gave him a look, causing him to flinch before he quickly pushed himself to his feet and walked over to Wushuang, who was waiting for him, before they both headed out of the department, Wushuang walking through the streets with a dark look on his face while Dayu followed behind, a small frown on his.

            “Shifu…” he started.

            “What?” Wushuang snapped, making Dayu flinch before he sighed.

            “Why don’t we go to like a café or something?  Get something to eat?  It’s almost lunch and I know you haven’t eaten yet” he stated.  Wushuang shook his head.

            “I’ll eat after we catch this bastard” he replied causing Dayu to sigh again.

            “Shifu, it’s not good for you to not eat…I know this case is stressing you out, but you need to take care of your health” he argued.  Wushuang shot him a glare over his shoulder.

            “I’m fine Dayu” he growled.  Dayu sighed a third time.

            “You’re going to get more grey hairs if you take everything too seriously” he stated, just as Wushuang spun around and got in his face.

            “Are you saying you’re not taking this seriously?” he growled.  Dayu looked at him with wide eyes before he shook his head.

            “No, I am, but I’m not letting my job consume me like you are!” he exclaimed.  Wushuang was quiet before he took a step back and sighed, running a hand through his hair.

            “I suppose you’re right…maybe I am taking this too seriously” he murmured.  Dayu smiled slightly.

            “There’s nothing wrong with wanting to solve a case…but you can’t ignore other important things, like eating” he declared.  Wushuang looked at him before he huffed softly.

            “Alright boy let’s go get something to eat.  My treat” he offered, making Dayu grin and clap delightedly as Wushuang chuckled and shook his head fondly.  Dayu was so cute.

~*~*~*~*~*~

At the café, as Wushuang and Dayu were enjoying their drinks and cute little desserts, Wushuang was stirring his straw absentmindedly when he glanced up to see someone wearing a dark blue hoodie walking past, making his eyes widen.

            “It’s him” he breathed, making Dayu frown.

            “Who?” he asked.  Wushuang looked at him.

            “The guy we’ve been after!” he exclaimed before he shot to his feet and rushed out of the café, Dayu’s eyes widening as he turned to stare after him before he quickly pushed himself to his feet and ran out of the café after him.

            “Shifu!” he exclaimed as he chased after Wushuang while Wushuang chased after the man in the hoodie, the man soon entering a nearby clinic, forcing Wushuang to follow in after him and immediately draw his gun.

            “Freeze!” he shouted.  At his voice, the man immediately froze, just as another man rushed out from the back and looked at Wushuang with wide eyes.

            “What is going on?!” he exclaimed, just as Dayu burst into the clinic and looked at Wushuang with wide eyes.

            “Shifu!  Put the gun down!  You don’t even know if it’s him!” he exclaimed, only for Wushuang to huff as he looked at the man in the hoodie.

            “Suspect!  Turn around, slowly” he ordered.  The man in the hoodie was quiet before he slowly turned around, his hands raised in surrender, and faced Wushuang and Dayu, Wushuang motioning to him with his gun.

            “Lower your hood” he instructed.  The man nodded and slowly reached up, lowering the hood to reveal the face of a young man.

            “Have I done something wrong, officer?” he asked.  Wushuang narrowed his eyes at him, just as Dayu stepped forward.

            “No, you haven’t.  I apologize for my shifu, really, I don’t know what’s gotten into him” he apologized before he turned and glared at Wushuang.

            “Put your gun away!” he barked.  Wushuang huffed and placed his gun back into his holster as the other man crossed his arms.

            “What is going on here?  Why have you burst into my clinic like this?” he demanded.  Dayu looked over at him and winced.

            “We’re really sorry.  We’ve been searching for a suspect in a series of robberies and he’s always seen wearing a dark blue hoodie, just like your…friend here” he explained, just as the man in the hoodie huffed.

            “Well, I can assure you, I haven’t committed any robberies” he assured as the other man huffed.

            “Yes, and I would know” he declared, making Wushuang raise an eyebrow.

            “And why is that?” he asked.  The man huffed.

            “Because we’re partners.  We don’t hide anything from each other” he explained.  Dayu then tilted his head.

            “Do you mind me asking your names?” he inquired.

            “I’m Dr. Qin Yiheng, this is Jiang Shuo” the man introduced, first motioning to himself then to the man in the hoodie.  Dayu nodded.

            “I’m Wang Dayu and this is my shifu, Xu Wushuang” he replied before he bowed.

            “We’re so sorry for disturbing you” he apologized before he looked over at Wushuang.

            “Aren’t we, Shifu?” he asked.  Wushuang looked back at him before he looked at Jiang Shuo and Qin Yiheng, dipping his head.

            “My apologies” he apologized.  Jiang Shuo then crossed his arms.

            “Is all you know about the thief is that he wears navy hoodies?” he asked.  Wushuang nodded.

            “Pretty much.  Though we also know he tends to frequent this part of town” he explained.  Jiang Shuo hummed.

            “Well, if someone thought it was me, I wouldn’t be surprised; I’m always here to visit Qin Er” he stated as Dayu looked at Qin Yiheng.

            “Dr. Qin, have you happened to notice anything suspicious?  Since you do have a store-front property” he asked.  Qin Yiheng hummed before he shook his head.

            “I haven’t really noticed anything.  But I tell you what…how about if I see something, I give you a call?” he offered.  Dayu grinned and nodded.

            “That would be great, thank you” he thanked before he reached into his pocket and pulled out a business card, handing it to him.

            “Please call that number if you happen to hear or see something” he instructed as Wushuang pointed to Jiang Shuo.

            “And in the meantime, maybe you shouldn’t wear your hoodies.  You know, just until the suspect is caught” he stated.  Jiang Shuo sighed and nodded.

            “Sure, I guess” he agreed, just as Qin Yiheng rolled his eyes.

            “Oh, so when the cop who pointed his gun at you tells you to not wear your hoodie you listen but when I, your lover, tell you to do it, you whine and complain!” he exclaimed.  Jiang Shuo smiled.

            “But you like it when I whine and complain, Qin Er” he teased, making Qin Yiheng roll his eyes and shake his head again as Dayu grinned.

            “Thank you.  And we’re so sorry again” he apologized before he reached out and grabbed Wushuang’s arm, dragging him out of the clinic as Jiang Shuo and Qin Yiheng watched before Qin Yiheng looked down at the card in his hand.

            “Are you sure you haven’t done anything?” he asked, glancing up at Jiang Shuo.  Jiang Shuo raised his hands in surrender.

            “I haven’t!  I swear!” he exclaimed.  Qin Yiheng hummed, causing Jiang Shuo to raise an eyebrow.

            “What is it?” he asked.  Qin Yiheng glanced over at him before he shook his head.

            “Nothing…just thinking” he replied before he looked at him.

            “Liu Zhi hasn’t gotten out, has he?” he asked.  Jiang Shuo’s eyes widened.

            “No!  Of course he hasn’t!” he exclaimed before he paused.

            “At least…I don’t think he has” he murmured before he looked at Qin Yiheng with wide eyes.

            “Qin Er—” he started when Qin Yiheng shook his head.

            “He hasn’t.  I was just asking.  Don’t worry.  I know he hasn’t” he assured.  Jiang Shuo nodded before he shook his head.

            “Who’s been committing all of these robberies?” he asked.  Qin Yiheng shook his head.

            “I don’t know…guess we’ll have to wait and find out” he replied.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Meanwhile, as they headed back to the police station, Dayu glared at Wushuang.

            “Shifu!  You cannot just go around accusing people of being a suspect when we don’t even have any evidence!  We literally have nothing!  You should know better!” he exclaimed.  Wushuang huffed.

            “He was wearing the hoodie; I thought it was him” he grumbled. 

            “That’s circumstantial at best!  If I pulled something like what you just pulled, you’d have my ass!  You know better!” Dayu scolded.  Wushuang glanced over at him before he sighed and nodded.

            “You’re right, I’m sorry.  I should have thought before I ran after him…it won’t happen again” he promised.  Dayu huffed.

            “It better not” he grumbled before he took him by the arm.

            “Come on, I’m hungry.  Let’s go eat something” he declared.

~*~*~*~*~*~

A few days later, as Dayu was working on paperwork, his phone suddenly rang, making him look at it in surprise before he reached out and picked up the receiver, placing it to his ear.

            “Hello?” he answered.

            “Wang Dayu?” a voice inquired.

            “Speaking” Dayu replied.

            “Dayu, this is Dr. Qin Yiheng.  We met a few days ago” Qin Yiheng stated, making Dayu’s eyes widen.

            “Oh, Dr. Qin!  Yes, how can I help you?” he asked. 

            “Are you and Officer Xu busy?  We have someone we’d like for you to pick up” Qin Yiheng declared.  Dayu raised an eyebrow before he nodded.

            “Sure, we’ll be right down” he assured before he hung up and pushed himself to his feet, heading to Wushuang’s office.

            “Shifu” he called out, making Wushuang look up at him.

            “Hmm?” he replied.

            “Dr. Qin just called and asked if we could come down to his clinic.  Says he’s got a person there he’d like for us to pick up” Dayu explained.  Wushuang frowned before he pushed himself to his feet and walked over to him, looking him in the eyes.

            “Well what are we waiting for?  Let’s go!” he exclaimed.  Dayu smiled and nodded before he and Wushuang headed out of the department, heading to Qin Yiheng’s clinic.

~*~*~*~*~*~

When they arrived at the clinic, they both headed inside to see Jiang Shuo and Qin Yiheng standing on either side of a man on his knees, the man dressed in a navy hoodie.

            “What’s this?” Wushuang inquired.  Qin Yiheng looked at him before he motioned to the man in the hoodie.

            “Your thief” he replied as Jiang Shuo grinned.

            “He tried to steal from my Qin Er and I couldn’t have that happen so…ta da!” he exclaimed.  Both Dayu and Wushuang looked at them in surprise before Wushuang hummed and stepped forward, grabbing the man by the arm before he yanked him to his feet.

            “We’ll follow up and make sure that he’s actually the thief we’ve been looked for but…thanks” he thanked before he dragged the man out of the clinic, Dayu watching them leave before he looked at Jiang Shuo and Qin Yiheng, smiling brightly.

            “Thanks for your help.  Feel free to call if you have any other problems” he insisted before he turned and headed out of the clinic after Wushuang, Jiang Shuo and Qin Yiheng watching them leave before Jiang Shuo looked over at Qin Yiheng and smiled.

            “Finally, some peace and quiet, huh?” he asked.  Qin Yiheng hummed.

            “Finally” he agreed, just as Jiang Shuo smiled and walked over to him, wrapping an arm around him before he rested his chin on his shoulder.

            “Though nothing’s really ever “peaceful” or “quiet” when I’m around, right Qin Er?” he asked.  Qin Yiheng huffed.

            “Yes, because you’re a menace” he replied.  Jiang Shuo grinned.

            “But I’m your menace” he remined, causing Qin Yiheng to huff softly before he looked over at him, his eyes full of fondness.

            “Yes…yes, you are” he agreed.
