Going into 'A league of Nobleman' all I knew it was going to have some censored bl vibes or whatever between the two leads but no one prepares you for that besides Zhang Ping, Lan Jue has Mowen, a hot army commander and an ex he shacked up with on an abandoned little isle who turns out to be a mad Prince and other things like???
I mean if I saw Lan Jue as well in his in-house robes with hair open looking soft and having tea I think I too would devote myself my life in service to him

Whumptober Day 28: Sacrifice
Peizhi looks awful. Truly awful. And Gu Qingzhang… he has a job to do. He can’t sacrifice everything he’s worked towards just for this.
Except…
He had approached Lan Jue because of who his father was. He had befriended Lan Jue as a means to an end. He had meant to stay with Lan Jue in order use him.
He had stayed with Peizhi because he was utterly entranced by him.
He can see himself in him. They’re of a similar age. They’re both orphans (or, in Gu Qingzhang’s case, as good as). They’re both determined to go through anything to get justice for their families.
Peizhi doesn’t know this about Shulin, of course, but he must have seen something, because for all Gu Qingzhang had tried to chase him, Peizhi had not tried hard to escape. Had pushed closer himself.
And all this, now, has led to Gu Qingzhang’s heart beating faster as he watches Peizhi pour poison into his own wine.
Gu Qingzhang has too much at stake to risk anything. He has to avenge the people who raised him. He has to have revenge on the Empress who left him to die.
And yet... and yet.
He swaps the wine with a deft hand. Tips it back without giving anything away. Slips away into the dark, feeling his insides burning but knowing, at least, that Peizhi will be alright.
Some sacrifices are worth it.
Peizhi looks awful. Truly awful. And Wang Yan… he has a job to do. He can’t sacrifice his good name, his family’s reputation just for this.
Except…
When he had met Lan Jue, he had been a nobody, selling calligraphy in the street, his own family’s reputation nothing but dust. Wang Yan hadn’t even noticed him, until he had been given no choice not to.
He can’t imagine his life without Peizhi in it, now.
He can see himself in him. They’re of a similar age. They both want their father’s to be able to look at them proudly. They’re both desperate to prove themselves in the political sphere.
Peizhi knows about the struggle Mowen has had, getting his father to approve of him. They had held each other close, one of them wishing his father cared, the other wishing his father was there. It made Wang Yan feel selfish, thinking about it afterwards, but somehow it had only drawn Peizhi closer.
And all this, now, has led to Wang Yan pausing to think as Peizhi begs him to hide evidence that he says is being used to frame him.
Wang Yan has too much at stake to risk anything. He has to prove his worth as the Minister for Justice to the Emperor. He has to prove it to his father.
And yet... and yet.
He nods, briskly. He swaps the evidence with a deft hand. Hides it without giving anything away. Slips back to the investigation, ignoring the potential political ramifications because he knows, at least, that Peizhi will be alright.
Some sacrifices are worth it.

Lan Jue x Wang Yan (Mowen) - Best ship name ever
Ok, definitely quite random, but I just wanted to take a moment to applaud the Chinese ship name for Lan Jue x Wang Yan from A League of Nobleman. I’m actually unsure if there’s been a good ship name for these two in English (nothing seemed to pop out at me?), but the Chinese fandom seems to have settled on 兰砚知己, which is perfect because:
兰 = ‘Lan’ in Lan Jue
砚 = ‘Yan’ in Wang Yan
知己 = ‘Zhiji’, which is confidante / soulmate (not necessarily in the romantic sense, but bromance / BL has opted to make it a Thing, and I’ve decided to roll with it)
And, there’s a similar sounding Chinese phrase ‘蓝颜知己‘  (in fact, only the second word has a different intonation from the ship name) which specifically refers to the male confidante of a woman (the ‘lan yan’ here means ‘blue’, or more specifically, ‘blue color’). 
And to add more fun, a common follow up / associated joke or saying is that ‘blue blue often turns green’, where the color green (and more specifically, wearing a green hat), means you’ve been cuckolded. That is to imply, of course, that any close male friend of a woman will likely always become a romantic interest. (Personally, I think that’s BS, but anyway that’s the saying / joke.)
So then coming back to this ship name, it was just *chef’s kiss*. Like, other ship names are often sayings or phrases as well, but not quite so well mapped multi-dimensionally.
P.S: I’ve opted to not tag this post with that tag, since I assume folks using that tag would already be aware of this and not impressed by my realization 🤣
Bonus: If you want to search for Lan Jue x Wang Yan content... searching this tag on bilibili gives you all the fun fanvids.

A League of Nobleman is so funny bc it’s really a whole show about two feeble scholars with no combat skills putting themselves in dangerous situations constantly and Mowen having to rush to save their ass.

(Mowen x Lan Jue x Zhang Ping) Mowen: I'm bored, let's go do something. Zhang Ping: Did Lan-daren do something to piss you off again?
This one became a little more Mowen x Zhang Ping than anything hahah I can't find it within myself to regret it tho. Hope you like this!
~*~*~*~
He leaves him be until the second bowl of watery dough knocks against his elbow. An intervention is needed, Zhang Ping decides, taking a deep breath to brush off the flour on his hands.
"Are you going to compensate me for the ingredients you're wasting?"
Mowen startles mid-crack of an egg, eyes blinking owlishly at him. Pursing his lips, he frowns, nose scrunched in a way that Zhang Ping will forever deny sets off a flurry of butterflies in his belly.
"I'm bored," Mowen declares almost imperiously a beat later. There's a thread of anticipation in his voice when he follows it up with a lilting, "Let's go do something."
Bravely resisting the urge to roll his eyes, and barely just succeeding, Zhang Ping carefully takes the bowl from Mowen, setting it aside and gently taking a cloth to wipe down his hands.
"Did Lan-daren do something to piss you off again?" He asks, fingertips caressing the back of Mowen's hands. Smiling gently under the gaze he receives, he trails his thumb over a pulse point. "Don't deny it. You're terrible at hiding your true emotions when it comes to him."
Mowen harumphs, but doesn't move away. If anything, he shuffles closer, knocking their knees together. "It's not just him, you know?"
"If you mean to say that I may be jealous because you think you are both closer together than you are with me, please don't be," Zhang Ping chuckles, letting a little bit of his weight be supported by Mowen. "You both had a life together even before I entered the picture. It's only natural you are much familiar with his moods and fancies. I'm content to play catch-up with you."
"Be that as it may," Mowen starts, twisting his hand in Zhang Ping's to hold on to a slender wrist. "We never want to make you feel left out when it comes to us. Because you're part of us now, even if sometimes you may not feel like it."
Zhang Ping smiles, lifting his eyes. "You're side-stepping the question here, Wang-daren. Did Lan-daren do something to piss you off again?"
Mowen sighs, pulling him in until their hips are knocking against the corner of the kitchen table. "Sometimes I hate that your mind spins in a hundred ways that I can't follow sometimes."
"And so?"
Mowen smiles, darting in to slide their lips together and nipping gently. "Yeah. He said something stupid at court today and I just..."
"Am annoyed?"
"Mn."
"Frustrated."
"Mmhm
"Perhaps a little...?"
"Don't be cheeky, it doesn't suit you," Mowen tuts, affecting a mock affronted glare. There's no heat in his words, nothing but a fondness that cuts Zhang Ping deep in his chest. He's lucky, he knows that. Lucky to be loved by this man and the man he's a little annoyed at.
"Shall we go do something fun to surprise him when he comes home?"
Mowen cocks an eyebrow, his smile dipping into a slow grin with his teeth showing conspiratorially. "What do you have in mind?"
Zhang Ping laughs. "I have a few things I can show you. Have you ever read the Kama Sutra?"

The drink. The stance. The white button down collared shirt and tie. The horns kinda looking like Hajime’s ahoge. The bread in one image blending in with the lobster from the other.
This image has it all.
