#si jin

The thing I love the most about ZWY, other than his ridiculously gorgeous voice of course, is how he gives this vibe of totally unhinged underneath the tight control that he keeps.

Yu Qi / Yu Jin is a classic ride or die husband who is currently without a wife. Not that he's not trying but Jiang Si is ... how shall we say it nicely? ... ah yes traumatized. My girl believes that her OG husband (ML) killed her in her OG life before the time travel so she still loves him, she's just doesn't want to risk repeating the past.

Yu Jin is all about Jiang Si. She's basically all he's ever wanted in life. She could do no wrong. Because when she did commit a crime ... Yu Jin simply ignored it and chose to protect her instead. I'm still not sure what brought on this level of ride or die dedication, but I'm seated. I'm feasting. AND I'm ready for more!!!

The Fire Incident

Yu Jin suspects that Jiang Si started the fire that resulted in multiple deaths. A sane person would, at the very least, ask for an explanation for such a destructive act. But not Yu Jin. No siree! He just said if anyone asked, you were with me the entire time. No question. No accusation. Only blind trust in Jiang Si's decision. He basically went. "My girl wants to burn some buildings to punish some people, so I guess some buildings WILL burn and some people WILL die. So sad. Not really. End of story. MOVE ON people."

The Financial Support

Yu Jin got news that Jiang Si's business is in trouble due to recent downturn in revenue via the Princess' meddling and he basically gave her a load of money just because. Like all he knew was that she needed cash and he had cash and soooo .... hello sugar daddy. I mean ... um .... new business partner. Haha.

The Dream (missing brother)

In the OG life, Jiang Si's brother died a tragic death and so with this knowledge she's trying to keep her brother safe aka involuntary house arrest and my girl got so restless everytime she can't locate her brother and when she reported a grown man as a missing person after not seeing him for half a day ... Yu Jin was like ... yeah cool I'll help you look because I want to put your mind at ease. You saw that your very grown older brother's life is in danger in your dream? Okay. That's super not crazy and I will turn over heaven and earth to find your older brother. Man. The dedication is unparalleled. Jiang Si's wish is Yu Jin's command.

Touch Her and Die

I am bias because this is one of my favorite tropes. Yu Jin is all about protecting Jiang Si and he's ready to throw down anyone. Like he doesn't care how powerful the person might be. If you dare to harm his love then well you have no choice but to die. County Princess? So what? Yu Jin basically told the princess, "I'm warning you to stay far away from my woman but if you continue on this path to harm her then FAFO." The find out phase is basically "YOU DIE" Like ... I love this so much.

Clandestine/Spy Treatment

Jiang Si has a apecial mark on her neck and it's suppose to be a mark of the enemy clan. Yu Jin knows this and yet he did nothing of substance with this knowledge. Like when he captured the scorpion guy who was selling stuff at the black/night market he interrogated the man and calmly tortured him. But with Jiang Si, he chose to ignore her potential association with this clandestine group. Yu Jin is so in love that Jiang Si could do anything and he'd just let her do them if they make her happy.

Arson ... sure .... why not?

Enemy spy ... doesn't matter
