The Way We Love (Nan Shen Shi Dai / 男神時代)

The queen of crime, Agatha Christie, once said:

Everyone is a potential murderer.

Regardless if the murder can actually be carried out,

the thought of wanting to murder can appear at any moment.

Today is August 18, 2019.

It is 10:18 PM.

This is the scene of the homicide, case #027.

You slut!

And now you cheat on me!

You deserve to die.

Where the crime is, there I'll be.

Where the crime is

there I'll be.

Where the crime is, there I'll be.

Where the crime is

- Murderer! - Ghost!

- You murderer! - Hold on! It's you!

Pervert!

You pervert!

Agatha Christie once said: "Everyone is a potential murderer."

I never thought I'd face this pervert head to head. One shall stand, one shall fall.

The Way We Love

I like books.

When I was little, Mom was busy working.

Books kept me company through lonely nights.

In the world of books, everyone can be the person they wish.

A graceful princess or a world explorer.

To me, a bookstore is an entrance to a magical world.

And I am the guide to this magical world.

I'm the store manager of Old Bookcase, Ming Tien-Ai.

Okay, open store!

It's just that after a blow from online ordering and e-books these recent years,

traditional bookstores are falling out. Old Bookcase, with 30 years of history, can only hang in there.

But the most frustrating thing is...

This one looks pretty good.

Look at this. It looks delicious.

So beautiful.

- Oh my god, NT$280, it's so expensive! - Yea,

Don't buy it here. Buy it online for a much better price.

If you spend NT$600, they'll even give you a coupon.

You people, only here to look but not buy.

Your clothes and purse add up to thousands of NT. The book is only 208NT.

Guide, we were wrong. We're sorry.

Come here to buy all your books, you hear?

Yes.

Forget it, let's go. Don't buy here.

- Crazy lady. - What is she even lauging about?

She has problems.

Thank you for coming.

See you - not

Anyway, the main consumers of this bookstore are these people.

The person attracting all of these customers is him!

The bestselling, mystery-novel author, Bai Yun-fei.

Whenever he has a new book release, all these fans will come and support.

Book fans are still paying the bill!

Everyone will get one.

Thank you Bai Yunfei. Thank you to his fans

Manager, when can we get a signed book?

The latest is tomorrow. I know people at the publishing company.

I promise, you'll be the first to receive signed books!

That's great. Every time my hubby has a book signing event, it's only limited to 100 people. I can never get one.

What do you mean your hubby? Don't snatch him from me.

And I heard he doesn't take photos. He rejects group pictures.

Yes, he won't even give interviews. He's so mysterious!

So what? I've seen him in person.

No way.

Author Mr Perfect, Liu Wan Biao Pen name: Bai Yunfei

Yunfei is so handsome. Even his mesmerizing fingers

I could barely hold myself back from kissing him.

Can I get a picture with you?

Sorry, no pictures.

Instead of wasting time with pictures, why not just put me in here?

Perhaps you'll be the muse to my next book.

May I have a hug then?

Why not?

Okay! Everyone should treasure this opportunity

Hello?

Got the 30 autographed books. I'll deliver it to you when I get off work.

No need. I'll get them from you.

Everyone! Yun Fei's book is out!

I'm going to get them! Watch my store for me.

Even I am a true fan.

- It's been 30 minutes and he's still not here. - Didn't the rundown from yesterday say he was coming?

Yeah, what a waste of our time. Didn't he say he was going to come?

His good foresight resulted in this collaboration.

Excuse me. May I ask why Bai Yunfei didn't appear at this book-to-film adaptation press conference?

We only came because the rundown said he might come.

Also, it's been a year since Bai Yunfei revealed that he has a new book coming out.

There are rumours that he's encountered some serious writer's block.

is this true?

Will Bai Yunfei stop writing books?

All the rumors are true.

It's Zhang Sheng Xi

CEO

May I ask if what you just said is true?

It's all true...truly ridiculous.

First I want to thank all the media friends for your support and love to Teacher Bai Yunfei.

As the CEO of Yuan Cheng Yue Du, I'll speak on his behalf.

Author Bai doesn't have writer's block and will not stop writing.

I can promise everyone that on the fifth of next month, Bai Yunfei's series will be published on time.

Please look forward to it.

Then can you somewhat reveal in

after Bai Yunfei and the gang leader fell out of the plane together, is he alive or dead?

What do you think? Of course I cannot spoil it.

To the press, our director is here.

And today is 's book-to-film adapatation press conference.

so let's not steal their spotlight, okay?

Just like what Bai Yunfei often says:

"Where the crime is,

there I'll be."

You're right. Where is Bai Yun Fei?

Next month on the 5th, we'll find out.

Take a good patrol around the perimeters

Yes.

Bai Yun Fei's lover, Melody, was kidnapped by a criminal gang.

He, without fear, walked right into the lion's den

to save Melody.

Over there!

Melody.

Yun Fei.

I'm sorry. I'm late.

You're okay? I'm getting you out.

- Bai Yun Fei. - I'll take care of this.

Bai Yunfei froze. He felt a warm air rush to his chest.

The enemy had been at his side the whole time.

The woman he was willing to entrust his life to betrayed him.

You betrayed me.

I'm sorry. It's my fault.

I'm sorry.

Everyone's waiting for you to finish it. The whole department's waiting for you to finish this last part.

That bastard Bai Yun Fei.

I'm going to write you dead and be done with this once and for all!

You can't. If you kill Bai Yun Fei, all the sales

would fall. And we would all bear hardship.

Bai Yunfei's the cash cow, the money tree.

Even if you don't want to write it, you still have to bear through it.

Shut up!

I can give it to you to reference.

What other brilliant ideas do you have?

According to my research, singular themes are no longer in trend.

So I recommend that after Bai Yunfei gets shot, he directly... time travels.

Here comes the interesting part! He returns to the night before the crime,

and found out it was because his girlfriend was bitten by a zombie

so she lost her rational and became a murderer.

In order to capture the real criminal behind all of it, Bai Yunfei battles each one of the zombies.

What do you think? Exciting enough?

How about while Bai Yunfei's killing of zombies,

he also falls in love with his best pal?

That way, we can attract a bunch of fujoshis too. What do you think?

Not bad. You'll also be able to attract the LGBQT community too.

Perhaps we can hold a meeting and discuss this.

Really. So now, I need someone to

figure out BL romance.

It's you, Xiao Feng Feng.

What are you doing? Save me.

What the heck?!

You--

Let go of me.

Teacher Bai, where are you going? You're not trying to escape, are you?

Secretary Chao, are you putting me on house arrest?

Author Bai, how can you say that? I'm just following my orders from the CEO.

We're just keeping watch on you to make sure you'll turn in your draft in time by tomorrow.

Hi, I have a meeting with Secretary Chao.

I'm suddenly thirsty and want a drink of water.

Hold on.

Coffee and water are prepared for you.

So funny.

When I don't have inspiration, I only drink milk tea.

But I held it in all day. I need to pee.

Wait.

After you've gone, you just have to call out and the cleaning lady will handle the remaining cleaning process for you.

also, they are 24 hours on standby.

Special Assistant Zhao

you're cruel.

Teacher Bai, your words are too harsh

I sure won't dare to treat you poorly.

Hello?

Enough! No one's going to assault you!

Okay, I know.

Gu Changfeng, where's the autographed book I want?

Just leave it, I'll do it myself.

Do your best. If you need anything, let me know.

Special Assistant Zhao, you called, right?

I'll be there right away.

These little tricks won't stop me.

Heck, I'm an author that writes mystery novels.

Time for plan B.

Oh no! My notebook got a virus!

Someone come!

Someone please come
