but that it's only when he gets into the Jin family that he starts doing things that are genuinely hard to overlook. Exactly. We can overlook a lot of murder, but killing off Nie Mingjue and Jin Zixuan was taking it too far, my man!
There's a very nice series where he's married out of the Jins to Jiang Yanli and she tames him with the power of actually being nice to him. Oh I think I know that one, by guqin-and-flute on tumblr? Don’t know their AO3 right now, but I should’ve subscribed to that one. I really liked how this started out as a slight to both JGY and JYL, like JGY gets the woman that JZX didn’t want and considered beneath himself, and JYL gets married to the bastard son, only, that no-one really wants. Could’ve been a recipe for a disastrous, resentful marriage, but instead JYL and her powers of kindness turn it all around. XD
But I like him best when he retains the ability to be dangerous outside the lines. I wouldn't want him to be too tame :) No he should always be a bit devious, just on the right sight. ;D
