Details
Hello, I am Jin Guangyao, Chief Cultivator and Sect Leader of Lanling Jin. I am thirty-seven years old and a widower. I enjoy the company of both men and women. I prefer my partners to be above eighteen years of age. (My nephew is fourteen and I cannot imagine dating someone close to his age.) I am a fairly friendly person, who enjoys deep conversation over tea and wine and a hearty debate or spar in the field. I have too many hobbies and a love for reading, calligraphy, cooking, gardening, and numbers. I also enjoy games of strategy like Weiqi. I had spent the last year of my life in an alien prison that thrived on dual cultivation, so I am sure I have some colorful stories. This place is strange, but I am willing to embark on this new adventure and hopefully make some lovely friends along the way.
My Future PlansCurrently I am just getting my footing here. I am looking to make friends and allies who would be willing to play this game with me. I am very versatile in both my preferences and tastes, and can happily be the pursuant partner or the receiving one. I like to negotiate boundaries before anything untoward happens so that we both can have a safe and pleasurable experience. That is all the plans I have currently, I would like to make my new home comfortable. I am currently working on decorating my new room. Tell me about your artistic tastes.
My TalentsFirst and foremost I am a cultivator, I am adept at swordsmanship as well as diplomacy. I have been told I am a good orator and facilitator. On a more amorous note, I grew up in a brothel so there is nothing that surprises me. I try to be as knowledgeable as I can be and am willing to learn how to please my partners. Whether that is words of affirmation or spending hours between their thighs. Because of my cultivation style, I am very flexible. Do with that information what you will. If in a bondage situation, I prefer to be on the dominant end unless I know you well. I like being close friends with someone I can give up control to and prefer a much softer approach when I am on the receiving side.
Favorite Books, Movies, Music, and FoodI love all the classic novels as well as poetry. As for movies, most of the ones in the prison were strange bug pornographic dramas. Half the time the males were eaten. It was quite odd indeed! My friend and I used to watch them together and make fun of them or make up our own plots. One epic had us strangely invested. I love music, especially classical music. I play the guqin and like playing folksongs my mother used to play for her clients. One time in prison, my Da-ge showed me some kind of alien music called "metal". If there was a kind of haunted music that would be it. A lot of hellish screaming. I did not like that. It is the worst thing I have ever heard. As for food, I love trying all kinds of different food, though I love food from my home town. I love things spicy and a lot of fish dishes. Hot noodles and pork and lotus soup are excellent in the autumn festival. Please let me try some of your favorite foods and allow me to expand my palate.
My Ideal Partner
One mountain, two mountains. Separated by the many ranges of sky-high mountains, and misty cold rivers, my lovesickness taints the maple leaves crimson. Chrysanthemums bloom, chrysanthemums wither. Geese from frontiers fly over high, yet my love has not returned, It’s only the curtains swinging in moonlight.
It is hard to talk about my ideal partner when I have lost my wife and both my sworn brothers, but I like kind people. People who would not judge you for your background and would hold you in understanding and love. I love having a deep connection to my partner and would like someone I can be fully open and honest. I would like to have someone I can relax around and be myself around, even if that self is a bit nebulous at the moment. I am learning to be better and who I am when I am not trying to please people. It is a difficult journey, but I would like my partner to be someone who could not only understand that but who could grow with me.

Date: 2024-01-09 03:10 am (UTC)[ Not a puzzle most would appreciate, Zhongli is sure, but he gets it. ]
Commerce is an important part of daily life in my homeland. Many view accounting and the balancing of books as chores more than anything else.
no subject
Date: 2024-01-09 03:17 am (UTC)[This guy gets it! He laughs softly.]
It is much the same where I come from. Especially in Lanling, we have a large trading structure. And many imports that come in and out of the region. I am just strange in that way. But if you know where your money is going you can make better use of it. And make deals with other lands that are beneficial to everyone.
I am grateful to have learned numbers when I was young. It saved me when I needed work and could find better just because I knew how to do accounts. Every business needs to balance books and most people do find it a chore.
How are you fareing in this place here?
no subject
Date: 2024-01-10 05:40 pm (UTC)But for now, he tucks that idea away for later. ]
Considering the bizarre nature of the situation, I would say I'm faring well. There are some aspects of the decor and cuisine that bear a similarity to that of my homeland, and while the stakes of the games are... unusual... their rules and nature aren't completely foreign to me.
And yourself?
no subject
Date: 2024-01-10 10:41 pm (UTC)[He laughs, a short breathy chuckle.]
I am doing fine, considering the basement is frigid and there is nowhere to make a fire, even a makeshift one. [At least in the little dilapidated house in the prison he could make a clay stove to heat the place. There was no room to safely do something like that here.] I suppose it is supposed to incentivize me to play. I am assuming.
no subject
Date: 2024-01-14 03:55 pm (UTC)Ah, I've heard of the poor conditions offered to lower-ranked guests. I think you're correct that it's meant as an incentive.
[ And what a cruel one it is. ]
If you don't mind me asking, have you had much luck gathering rewards from the game thus far?
no subject
Date: 2024-01-14 08:11 pm (UTC)[He was used to cruel jokes meted out by fate by now.]
Not as of yet. I thought it would be a good idea to try and find some mutually beneficial alliances before jumping in the game. One must play with a sense of purpose after all.
How about you? Have you had any luck?
no subject
Date: 2024-01-18 12:41 am (UTC)[ Which is about as personal as he feels like getting at the moment. ]
Thus far I haven't found any contradictions in their claims, but the rules are more vague than I would expect for such an elaborate setup.
no subject
Date: 2024-01-20 05:57 am (UTC)I expect they will let us know as time progresses. Or change the rules. It is not as if we have very much power here in regards to it.
[Of course Zhong Li cannot see him shrug over the audio but he is certainly shrugging.] Perhaps once a person gets a winning hand we can know more.

Date: 2024-01-20 09:36 pm (UTC)[ guess who :3 ]
My husband and I would meet you this afternoon at shēn shi at the coffee house known as "Birdbucks," if that time and locale suits you. We can discuss further there.
no subject
Date: 2024-01-21 01:11 am (UTC)[New friend!]
Yes, I am available to meet you at Birdbucks. I'll see both of you there. Have you had a chance to try their sweets? They are quite good.
no subject
Date: 2024-01-21 02:35 am (UTC)[ since hua cheng has no need of food or drink, he sometimes doesn't think to try it... ]
Do you have a sweet tooth?
Forward an hour later. also Video.
Date: 2024-01-25 02:03 am (UTC)Master San Lang, I must ask for a raincheck if you please. You have my sincerest apologies, but it seems like I have landed myself in jail, They are not telling me when they will let me free but I imagine it cannot be more than a day or two.
[He looked over to the guard and sighed softly.]
As for your question, not particularly. I prefer spicy food but the Chocolate here comes in a bittersweet variety I quite like.
Again you have my deepest apologies.
no subject
Date: 2024-01-25 04:49 am (UTC)...Jail?
[ if he sounds bewildered, it's because he is. it's been like two hours bro how can you possibly have committed a jailable offense in that time? ]
For what offense could you possibly have managed to end up in jail?
[ briefly from the side comes the sweeter, more melodic sound of xie lian's voice asking hua cheng a question, will you have anything? and then the deeper murmur of hua cheng's response, gege can get whatever you like best and i'll try that; the video tips at an angle as they kiss, and then xie lian moves away and hua cheng returns to the conversation. ]
Of course I don't object to delaying our meeting, but I admit I'm surprised by your efficiency. Most people take longer than a handful of days to find themselves on the wrong side of the law.
no subject
Date: 2024-01-25 05:29 am (UTC)Oh goodness, you're there already? I feel worse for standing you two up like this.
[He would be surprised, usually he never got himself caught. But that couldn't be helped. At the easy conversation between the husbands, he couldn't help but smile. It was nice to see a couple being domestic. It made him miss Mingjue. He chewed his lip, not sure how much to divulge.]
Would you believe I am usually really good at not getting caught?
Well, I'll give you the short version. I can share more when we meet if you like.
A man who is my enemy from back home is here. In my life, I had killed his brother. We were in a situation where either I killed him or he killed me. He was my sworn brother but he had a deteriorating condition where his qi was unstable and he grew more unstable by the day. He was built like a martial god, the strongest cultivator of our generation. And well you've seen me. It was not righteous but it was either that or death.
This started a dumb chain of events where my enemy, caused the death of a few people I loved and used someone I loved to kill me.
I met my Da-ge in the place I was in before this and we worked things out between us.
In that time mostly had gotten over some of the things that happened, but there was some information I needed from my enemy. [He needed to know where Nie Huaisang had stashed his mother's body.]I had dragged him into one of those pods to try and talk to him. Turns out he was from a few hours before my death, and didn't know, but realized that I knew of his intent to kill me.
We got into a scuffle and I made him feel inadequate, so he made a huge kerfuffle about it. He is a rank 9 and I am a 3. And things went as these things go when you deal with people who are in power. Same thing, different world and all of that.
So I am serious about being a high enough rank, that I can defend myself from more of this.
no subject
Date: 2024-01-25 05:40 am (UTC)I thought I should find out if I would like the drinks here. [ he waves a hand to dismiss the apology—it's not necessary. they have plenty of time here, unfortunate though that reality may be.
if this is the short version, hua cheng can only wonder how much more complicated the long version will be. he can pick out the main details of it, at least—a complicated relationship, or a handful of those, a qi deviation, a death. hua cheng can see why one might have complicated feelings about the death of one's brother, but can just as easily see why one might kill to preserve their own life. ]
Your word against his, and they took the word of the higher rank. I see. [ exactly the kind of unequal bullshit hua cheng is used to observing in the world. ] Would they release you into the custody of a seven and a six in order to play their game, I wonder?
[ it's a long shot, definitely, but also might be the kind of bullshit they'd pull. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-01-25 06:32 am (UTC)[He understood where Nie Huaisang was coming from, but the man was being so ridiculous. He's done it, what more did he want? But count on the man to act like a stubborn and spoiled child and utilize his privilege. This prison was odd too. More like a luxury hotel and the guards just handed him a fresh bento with expensive fish.]
That type of thing that happens, though If I were being honest I got the impression that they just wanted him to shut up over any real need to punish me. They just handed me this expensive fish box... The whole thing is odd.
It might be worth a try, but I would hate to put both of you out of your way on my account.
no subject
Date: 2024-01-25 03:15 pm (UTC)[ at least it doesn't seem like he's in danger. honestly, hua cheng wouldn't even blame him for wanting to stay there a bit, if for no other reason than to keep himself out of the line of fire from this enemy from home who's found him here. especially if they're feeding him fancy bentos.
either way, hua cheng shrugs. ] Ask them, then. If they're amenable we'll come retrieve you, and if not, we'll reschedule our meeting.
[ it doesn't really count as putting hua cheng and xie lian out of their way when they already had plans to meet this afternoon, right? it just means a change of locale. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-01-29 06:46 am (UTC)[This said with the confidence of a man who had found himself in prison.]
Okay, I'll ask. There is someone right at the entrance. [Bits of muffled conversation could be heard in the background.]
They say as long as you can come to get me and keep out of sight of the crying guest who called me in I can go. It seems like they mostly put me in here to pacify that man. I am happy to share some of my lunch box with you if you like.
no subject
Date: 2024-01-30 07:49 pm (UTC)[ jin guangyao moves to talk to the guard at the entrance; hua cheng turns his attention back to xie lian, now returning with two of his favorite drink (mocha with extra squirty cream and chocolate sprinkles, for the curious). eh, gege, it looks like a mountain, hua cheng says, and xie lian says something indistinct but charming that prompts hua cheng to laugh.
when jin guangyao comes back to the feed, hua cheng is sipping his drink. ]
Oh? [ that seems like a simple enough task. although hua cheng doesn't know what this enemy looks like, so maybe he'll have to get the rundown from jin guangyao. ] Then we'll be there shortly. I have no need of food, please keep it for yourself—or share with my husband, if you're intent on sharing.
[ and then they're off, making their way down to the jail based on directions from staff members (who seem rather confused indeed about why anyone would go to jail willingly). ]
no subject
Date: 2024-01-30 07:58 pm (UTC)Well, this was incredibly easy.
no subject
Date: 2024-01-30 08:17 pm (UTC)I truly believe they were only trying to mollify the one who was causing a scene rather than actually wanting to punish me, it looks like this place would rather lure us with honey than vinegar.
[He gave the others a small smile.]
This one thanks the both of you for rescuing me from my imprisonment. It is good to see you again.
no subject
Date: 2024-01-30 08:44 pm (UTC)It's good to see you as well. [ he also acknowledges the guards with a nod, as if to reassure them that they'll be taking jin guangyao into their custody now. ] This is a lovely prison, but I think it would be better if we went somewhere more private to talk, if that suits you both.
[ he leans over to kiss xie lian's temple. very sorry, jgy—he's just like this in his husband's presence. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-01-30 08:49 pm (UTC)[ His own bow is a mix of trying not to spill his Birdbucks drink, which is some sort of plastic-topped green-and-white monstrosity, and leaning into the kiss at his temple without thinking. ]
Does anyone have a preference where we go? The library is usually quiet, it has private booths.
