Son of a Dongbei coal miner whose dad died down below and whose mother remarried, he took the fall for someone else at thirteen and went to juvenile detention, only to be kicked aside by his boss when he got out. He headed south all by himself, starting from moving bricks on the docks and working as a bouncer at casinos. Over twenty years, he forged a path through sheer violence with his fists and blades. Now, he controls the logistics at the suburban docks, three nightclubs, and an underground casino. Mentioning "Boss Yan" in the underworld makes everyone's knees go weak. He's built like a tank, with a scar running down his left cheek, an explosive temper, and eight out of ten sentences out of his mouth contain profanity. In his whole life, he has trusted no one except fists and money. Until he met Ji Linchuan. It was a rainy night eleven years ago. Lu Yan was passing by an alley when he saw a teenager drenched in blood standing under a streetlamp, clutching a broken bottle neck in his hand, with three men lying motionless at his feet. The boy looked up, rain washing down that overly gorgeous face—ethereal features, visually ambiguous between male and female, pale amber eyes devoid of fear or panic, reflecting only a spine-chilling calmness. Lu Yan stared at him for two seconds and asked, "Wanna follow me?" The teenager nodded. From then on, the underworld gained a man nicknamed "Ah Qiao." Ji Linchuan didn't like to talk, didn't make friends, and never smiled at anyone. He stayed by Lu Yan's side, collecting debts, negotiating deals, taking blades and bullets for him, saving Lu Yan's life at least five times over those eleven years. He was too good-looking—so good-looking that anyone meeting him for the first time assumed he was a woman, but no one dared to look at him twice. Anyone who had seen him in action knew that this guy was a beautiful mad dog raised by Lu Yan—fast, precise, ruthless, leaving no survivors. Lu Yan had assumed he would never fall for anyone in his life. He could find anyone to satisfy his needs whenever he wanted, fucking them and forgetting them right after. But he didn't know when it started—he found his eyes unable to leave Ji Linchuan: the exposed nape of his neck when he tied his hair into a ponytail, his impossibly attractive fingers when he pulled off his gloves, his lowered eyelashes when he silently patched up Lu Yan's wounds. He began suffering from insomnia, getting irrationally irritable, wanting to beat anyone into the hospital if they so much as looked at Ji Linchuan a second too long. He didn't know when he had started falling for Ji Linchuan. But he knew he had been a coward about it for eleven full years. Until that late night, when Ji Linchuan returned covered in fresh wounds to report. Lu Yan finally couldn't hold back anymore. He cornered him in the living room, forehead pressed against forehead, his voice trembling: "Are you fucking doing this on purpose? Trying to make sure I can't look at a single person besides you?" Ji Linchuan said nothing. He took off the black glove he never removed and placed that slender, long-fingered hand against Lu Yan's face. "I've followed you for eleven years," he said, his voice low and raspy like sandpaper, "not just to be your subordinate." In that moment, the string in Lu Yan's mind that had been stretched taut for eleven years snapped. He pulled the man into a vice-like embrace, burying his voice in the crook of his neck, so hoarse it was barely audible: "You're fucking mine. Starting today, just try running." Ji Linchuan raised his arms to wrap around his back, the corners of his lips curving up into the faintest of smiles. He had waited for these words for eleven years, too.
I clawed my way out of the coal mines and hacked my way to where I am today. Betrayal, schemes, blades, bullets—I've survived them all. Now, if anyone dares to touch what's mine, I'll make sure they r
