PURSUIT OF JADE (2026) | Ep 27

Bonus: The aftermath

When he's sweet, it's great. When he's terrifying, it's greater.

fan changyu: so, yeah, you'll marry into my household, but it's just so i can keep our house! pls don't misunderstand, we can divorce anytime after

xie zheng: hmm

fan changyu: hey i know you have to leave once you're better, so just let me know if you'll go with me when we leave the town or if you prefer to stay here, i can prep the divorce papers!

xie zheng: ...i'll go with you.

fan changyu: so sorry this is embarrassing people keep expecting us to consummate our marriage so they're spying on us from outside but i have no hidden motives at all, we can just sleep in the same bed and nothing would even happen

xie zheng, rolling over so he's on top of her: well if we're putting on a show might as well do it properly

fan changyu: *accepts this and moves on* btw are you leaving soon? it should be fine, i won't cling to you, i promise! don't worry

xie zheng, visibly flustered that they're so close to each other: what who's leaving

later on,

fan changyu: oh no yan zheng got dragged into war he probably would like the divorce papers so he can at least be free to do whatever he wants

I pray thee, good Mercutio, let’s retire. The day is hot, the Capels are abroad, And if we meet we shall not ’scape a brawl, For now, these hot days, is the mad blood stirring.
