Jin Guangyao thinks that, in another life, he would have been an excellent merchant. He is not so foolish as to commit certain things to written record, but in his mind, there exists a ledger. Considerations behind every action, what he has risked, and what he has gained. People who are beholden to him, people who fear him, people who want what only he can provide. People who want him.
Titile is from Wanderer's Song by Meng Jiao, translated by A. C. Graham. If you want to look for more Meng Jiao online (he has a very JGY vibe, to me), it's often "Meng Chiao" using Wade-Giles.
Warnings: Like, generally JGY being JGY about sexual ethics, but specifically the XY/JGY is only saved from being full-on non-con by the fact that both parties are smug about it afterward.
IDK, kids, don't let JGY be your guide to decision-making in any realm! Also, if you're actually kids, ask an adult you trust if you should really be reading this.
