Synopsis
The story of a certain autumn during the troubled times of the Republic of China when everything underwent change. The director of the Jing Cheng Police Station, Jiang Yuelou, who is neither good nor bad, leaves drug-smuggling criminals trembling at the sound of his name. When Jiang Yuelou was tracking down an opium case, he encountered Doctor Chen Yuzhi by chance. One's a killer, one's a healer. These two people with conflicting morals mutually redeemed each other and became the best of friends during this troubling period of time.

Title translation
the title "hen jun bu si jiang lou yue" comes from a Song Dynasty poem written by Lu Benzhong titled 《采桑子·恨君不似江楼月》
恨君不似江楼月，南北东西，南北东西，只有相随无别离。
恨君却似江楼月，暂满还亏，暂满还亏，待得团圆是几时？
the poem is full of metaphors and is interpreted as:
可恨你不像江边楼上高悬的明月，不管人们南北东西四处漂泊，明月都与人相伴不分离。
可恨你就像江边楼上高悬的明月，刚刚圆满就又缺了，等到明月再圆不知还要等到何时。
taken from baidu, read here for further explanation
so i guess the title could be translated as:
"I regret that you're not like the bright moon floating up on the river"
or you could just go with the official english title which is Killer and Healer :D
Translator's notes:
Hi this is a very very very casual and self-indulgent translation project I started to improve my Chinese. I love 江枫余火 so much and couldn't get over the ending so a few moments later my hands slipped and bought the audio drama and novel.
Heads up Chinese isn't my native language and despite learning it for 9 years I still suck at it. I can understand spoken casual conversations but my reading and writing is so bad which is why I'm trying to improve it by reading more raws lol :) This is also my first time tl-ing so there might be (many) inaccuracies and awkward tls because I'm not good at English either..... *sobs* My vocab also isn't that good so this was done using the help of my best friend pleco hehehe
If there are other tls then please look to them because they most likely will have better tl quality and update schedule! Just keep in mind this is merely a self-indulgent project for me to practice as well as spread the 江枫余火 agenda <333
If you have any tl suggestions feel free to contact me or if you wanna proofread or edit i will be more than grateful!
Content warnings
The story centers around drug trafficking involving gangsters/mobs so do expect there to be a LOT of violence (guns, weapons, etc.) as well as deaths and suicides of minor characters. I'll try to add major TWs each chapter but I'll probably leave out ones like violence and shootings because they happen so often. Just tell me if there's anything you think I need to add.
