Hils Watches Mysterious Lotus Casebook - Ep 23
I literally can't stop laughing. After loudly telling Li Lianhua not to forget their date the night before, now everyone thinks he likes women to dress like men too.
A+ comedic timing. Also, DI FEISHENG IS BACK! HI I MISSED YOU
Yeah, I bet you do
Li Lianhua: It's fine, I can definitely lie my way out of this situation
Everyone else: No, but A-Fei could totally have killed this dude
I love them
Even when Di Feisheng has amnesia they act like bitchy exes
A totally normal question to ask
Wow, okay, they solved that one quickly
I love that he just knew Di Feisheng would be within shouting distance
Yeah, he definitely didn't do it. They caught him way too soon
I love that he pretends not to give a shit about solving crime but is sat here quietly hanging off Li Lianhua's every word
Di Feisheng: Urgh, fine, I'll solve your stupid crime for you
Fang Duobing be like 'well, if Di Feisheng comes when Li Lianhua calls he'll def come when I call too'
And he wasn't wrong
Di Feisheng: personal space is for other people
This reminds me of something...
Yeah, they are so married
The guy I'm pretty sure I'm married to even if I don't remember him can order me around. You, on the other hand...
No liveblogging tomorrow as it's my babysitting day

Hils Watches Mysterious Lotus Casebook - Ep 40 (and bonus episode)
God, okay, here we go. I'm so anxious. I remember how Heroes ended and how much it broke me
I've come this far though so I guess let's do this even if it's going to hurt. I have a packet of tissues on standby just in case it all goes horribly wrong as I fear it will
Well, we're off to a good start. Li Lianhua is practicing his martial arts and imagining Di Feisheng is there with him. I'm definitely not crying less than 5 minutes in
It's okay though because Fang Duobing is there to take care of him and make sure he keeps warm 馃槶
Okay, I suspected he rigged the mechanisms to be easily seen and destroyed because Fang Duobing mentioned it but I didn't realise the whole thing was him trying to take down Jiao Liqiao from the inside. I feel bad(ish) for him now
Oh shit! Well, it wouldn't be Mysterious Lotus Casebook without one final (I hope) dramatic poisoning
I love that he just calls him Xiaobao in front of everyone now. Everyone clearly knows they're together.
God, he's about to do something stupid isn't he? I'm having Word of Honor flashbacks. GDI even I didn't clock that he was deliberately sending Fang Duobing away so he could do this
Oh fuck
I am sobbing
I do not understand these two at all. First of all I thought she left him when she ended their engagement (that I thought was a marriage - that whole wedding that wasn't a wedding was confusing), then I assumed she must have left him when she took the sect leader job from him. Apparently after all that they're still together??? But maybe they're breaking up for real this time?
I suppose Xiao Zijin is going to blame Li Lianhua for this too
I knew he was going to get free and leave before Fang Duobing got back 馃槶
FFS I was already crying and now Huli Jing is crying so I'm crying even more. I knew this was going to be sad but FUCK
He just rescued a trapped bird like a fucking Disney prince
I knew the 'recipe book' was going to be all his martial arts notes
FFS Xiao Zijin let it go! I swear to god if he kills Li Lianhua because Li Lianhua is half blind and ready to die I am throwing my laptop out the window
OH FUCK IS HE GOING TO DO IT HIMSELF?
Oh, I think he was talking to his sword
Well fuck.
Oh, he landed in the boat. Maybe he's okay? Let me have my denial!
It feels like forever ago but I think this dude was telling the story of Li Xiangyi and Di Feisheng in the first episode. If he was that's a nice touch that we've circled back around and he's now telling stories about Li Lianhua
I have to laugh because the alternative is crying even more. But I love all these randos know that Di Feisheng is in love with Li Lianhua and they're acting like him not showing up at the beach is like jilting him at the altar (even though they're already married)
His stoic but clearly sad face 馃槶
Well he's still alive. At the moment at least.
I know he's talking about fighting, but he probably also talking about their relationship
I want to hug him
I'm fine 馃槶
Onto the bonus episode. This is either going to be hopeful or painful and I honestly have no idea which way it's going to go
Painful so far!
Well, that was very ambiguous so I'm choosing to believe they found him at the beach and are living happily ever after 馃構
I did really enjoy that despite the pain. Thanks to everyone who has been yelling along with me in the comments and notes while I've been watching. This is why I enjoy liveblogging dramas

Li Lianhua, one of the most brave and brilliant minds of his generation: Yeah, this place is creepy. I'm out.
Very much enjoying Fang Duobing and Di Feisheng working together to protect Li Lianhua. I hope we get more of that.
Amazing work, all of you. A+
This really is the worst kept secret in the jianghu. I think Fango Duobing is the only one who doesn't know at this point
Oh my god is the wine made of people?
I was going to make a joke that Li Lianhua plays up being pathetic when he's got two big strong men there to protect him. But actually it's probably not far from the truth. How many times do you think he's had to stay awake, or at least on guard, for fear that someone might figure out his identity and come looking for him. Now he's with two people one of whom knows his identity and one who has sworn to protect him no matter what. It's actually safe for him to relax and get some sleep so he's going to do just that.
Oh my god. Fang Duobing offered Di Feisheng some bread and Di Feisheng took it! I'm crying.
AND THEN DI FEISHENG SHARED HIS WATER WITH FANG DUOBING. Are they in love now? Is that's what's happening here? MY HEART.
Look at those eyes. Has he learned the puppy eyes from Fang Duobing?
Why do I feel like Di Feisheng is about to ruin this romantic moment
Oh, shit, whatever they got drugged with has triggered his poison
How quickly Fang Duobing has gone from 'I'm not saving him!' to being genuinely worried about him
Of course Li Lianhua was just pretending to sleep and now he's going to fight a hoard of martial arts zombies by himself because his boyfriends both got drugged. Li Lianhua, that will kill you!
You don't normally mind
I know they needed to sort out their injuries because the zombies are attracted to the scent of blood, but the three of them seem remarkably unconcerned that Li Lianhua just got kidnapped by a zombie
Feeling Fine and Normal about this
Haha! He literally only got as far as saying the A of A-Fei's name and Di Feisheng did what Fang Duobing was going to ask him to do. I think this means they officially share a braincell now
This dude: Ohhhh! I didn't realise the three of you were together
You can see why he's the detective. Did the missing head give it away?
I love that Di Feisheng has just naturally taken on the role of leader while Li Lianhua is gone. He might not remember being the leader of his sect but instinctively that's who he is
We're in DMBJ territory again
Oh you know shit is real when the family name gets dropped
He's just a little dude who needs his two big strong boyfriends to help him up

Fang Duobing's reflexes always tuned to keeping Li Lianhua safe, even if it's just from a roll of paper
Of course it was Di Feisheng who threw it. He has to do everything in the most dramatic way possible
He has a degree in architecture
Poor confused puppy
I love that in the last episode Fang Duobing was all 'gentlemen use their words not their fists' but he literally tries to fight Di Feisheng whenever he insults him (which is all the time)
So handy that the people at the next table are talking about the case they're investigating and not their shitty days at work or something
It was bugging me where I recognised him from. He was in Immortal Samsara with Cheng Yi
Well this is about to get awkward
Ehehe
How many times has Cheng Yi worn a wedding dress in the various dramas he's been in? I can think of at least two other occasions. Is it in his contract? Do the people making these dramas think he's just so pretty he needs to wear a wedding dress? I would love to know
Well, that has clearly just awoken something in both of them. @alxina @xantissa you have prior experience. Please tell me you've written or are going to write wedding dress fic
Is that a euphemism for something?
Is that also a euphemism for something?
Edit: A few people were yelling in the notes about Di Feisheng basically holding Li Lianhua's hand and walking him towards the mirror and I totally missed it! But...yes, that is a thing that happened.
I will never get tired of Fang Duobing protecting Li Lianhua even when he just stumbles over a loose rock
Can't wait for Fang Duobing to find out that the dude he pushed into the corpse pond is infamous martial artist Di Feisheng
Love that he's drawn Li Lianhua all smiling and pretty while Di Feisheng looks all grumpy
Aww he threw Li Lianhua's portrait away because he wants Li Lianhua to trust him enough to tell him his secrets on his own

Well, them having a fight to the point where Shan Gudao quit the sect, and then got killed before they reconciled explains a lot about why Li Lianhua was so desperate to find his body
Aww Fang Duobing has been abandoned again. The poor puppy
You can't die until you're well enough for...ahem...our swords to come together again
Uh...that doesn't look like it's helping him
Oh no not more snakes
I'm not sure letting a magical snake feed on him is helping him get better either
Maybe Di Feisheng should have mentioned that before getting the Medicine Demon to try all these cures
There's a plant that will restore his martial arts powers but he'll die in agony a few days later
Di Feisheng: Yeah, I'm cool with that so long as he fights me first
Come on, my dude. I know you don't actually want him to die
I mean he has a point
Wait, what son?
HOLY FUCKING PLOT TWIST
What's that thing called when you're thinking about something and suddenly you see it everywhere? Frequency Illusion? Yeah, that's what's happening to poor Fang Duobing (IF THAT'S EVEN HIS ACTUAL NAME)
That last part was a joke but actually none of the main three are going by their actual names? Li Xiangui is Li Lianhua, Di Feisheng is A-Fei, Fang Duobing is...well, maybe that's the name his mother gave him before she died we don't know.
I hate him and it's his fault my life is so miserable but oh no he's in danger I must save him!
I'm sure you'll care about him too eventually you just need to get over the whole wanting to kill him to get to Li Lianhua thing
FANG XIAOBAO!!! Isn't that what his aunt said they called him when he was little? But again here we are back with everyone using different names again
He has very long eyelashes
Abandoned twice in one episode. This poor boy needs a hug
Plot twist! Not abandoned this time!
He's trying to see Shan Gudao in Fang Duobing. This poor traumatised boy
I thought that was going to get dragged out for longer. Yep, congrats Fang Duobing, you threw Di Feisheng into a pond full of corpses
This boy and his self-worth issues
Aww he really is Li Xiangyi's disciple now
I love them

Our house is getting inspected tomorrow (the joys of renting) so this is my reward for mopping the floors on a stupidly hot day considering it's nearly the middle of September.
Anyway!
He is a good husband. Just ask Li Lianhua
But if you send him home who will make puppy eyes at you and take care of you?
I wish someone would prescribe me medicinal wine
Oh, yeah, I forgot about them. I have minimal sympathy given they tried to assault the women being held captive there. Fang Duobing is a good boy though so he won't just let them die
Me whenever there's a new plot development
When Fang Duobing's mind is on other things his 'must protect Li Lianhua' senses are dulled, which is why Li Lianhua immediately fell into a pit
Is this going to be a thing now? Li Lianhua is in danger and I need help, call on A-Fei and he immediately appears
Ooh is he starting to suspect?
His face when Fang Duobing yells at him 馃ズ Is he starting to care for the puppy?
"While you two were running around in a cave looking for me I found all the clues because I'm awesome." I love him.
Oh my god Fang Duobing DOES suspect! And he's going to let Li Lianhua get stabbed to test his theory. Come on, Di Feisheng won't let him get stabbed and he's always nearby
Aww he stepped in at the last possible second and saved him
Test passed or failed depending on which way you look at it. I'm guessing Li Lianhua knew Fang Duobing was there which is why he didn't defend himself
God, I just want to hug him
Clearly he doesn't know what genre he's in
Well at least he just came out and asked
Every time Li Lianhua lies it reminds me of all those memes in the Guardian fandom about Shen Wei and his addiction to lying
You may as well get used to it. He's not going to stop.
I love him
I think your beloved might have a thing or two to say about your plans to kill his beloved
Fang Duobing is more concerned about the interruption to his personal hygiene than he is the fact that a bunch of people have showed up to kill them
Fang Duobing is back in protecc mode, but I think he also just saw Li Lianhua do some sus footwork while he was trying to avoid being killed
Oh no
No one has asked Di Feisheng if he's okay 馃ズ
Oh now that he's visibly in pain they care
Fang Duobing! You are better than that! How many times has he helped you as soon as you called?
Wait, I recognise this set! I'm pretty sure it was used in Heroes too
I mean the last one wasn't actually haunted. That was kind of the whole point of the case

I swear to god if he ends up having to pretend to be his own fake twin brother I am going to die
I know this is about her symbolically letting go of the past but that was a nice sachet! If she didn't want it she could have just given it back
I get nervous whenever they mention how little time he has left
He really is pushing this. Is it not enough that Li Lianhua has an ex-husband and a new boyfriend, and that Qiao Wanmian is engaged to someone else? Let it go!
Oh no. Is he going to get mad that he didn't beat Li Xiangyi in a fair fight?
I do think that's true. He's happy to forgive anyone who hurt him, but he still blames himself for everything that happened 10 years ago.
Yeah, he's angry
People do love slamming him into walls and I support this habit
Yeah, I kind of assumed he knew. Actually at first I thought he was the one who did it.
Yeah, that's not going to work. He nearly keeled over just from throwing a sword at someone
This is weirdly romantic? He doesn't want to fight anyone else no matter how good they are
Well at least now he's on board with the 'stop Li Lianhua from dying' agenda. Good. If anyone is stubborn enough to find a cure for an incurable poison it's him.
I'm amazed it took this long for the guard puppy to show up
Dude, you literally try and fight everyone who annoys you
Has anyone made a gifset of all the times Li Lianhua has wagged his finger at someone? I feel like this is a thing that should exist
I love that this is the second time in about 10 minutes that he's used his poor health as an excuse to get out of a conversation he didn't want to have
Aww! He knows Fang Duobing won't let Di Feisheng kill him. Not that Di Feisheng wants to kill him. Quite the opposite, in fact
There are going to be some really awkward conversations when Fang Duobing finds out who Li Lianhua and A-Fei really are
That's very sweet but I thought he had no money
Haha! Oh no he stole Li Lianhua's money to pay for it.
You'd think he'd be used to it by now
Haha! He has no idea how much Li Lianhua lies
Oh, sweetie, you have no idea how much you don't know
That definitely doesn't sound made up at all
OMG they're looking for Count Rugen!
I love him

Hils Watches Mysterious Lotus Casebook - Ep 1
Okay, I really shouldn't be doing this, but I keep seeing gifs and how am I supposed to resist two of my DMBJ boys in the same drama. Especially when one of them is Cheng Yi who I love.
Also, I promised @xantissa I would check it out and report back.
I'm only going to be watching this in slow time because I really want to finish The King's Avatar, but on a weekend when I have a bit more free time I can squeeze in an ep here or there. So there won't be regular updates for this one.
Also, I don't have a VIP iqiyi account so I can't watch it too fast anyway :D
I think I read that people involved Blood of Youth and Love and Redemption were involved in this? Or it has similar vibes to them? Either way I loved both of those dramas so I am hopeful for this one
I'm only on the opening credits but, god, look at him. He's so good at looking tortured and pretty
Oh no I am having traumatic Heroes flashbacks. Hopefully this will be less sad.
He always looks so good when he's getting whumped and I'm glad whoever made this realised that
God to love a drama that starts with an establishing backstory
At 17 I was still in school and had no idea what to do with my life
Very much enjoying this dramatic boat fight
Oh no has he been poisoned? That's fighting dirty!
7 minutes into the first episode and he's spitting blood. That might be a new record for him
Flashfoward 10 years and Cheng Yi is now a doctor and apparently mpreg is a thing
I love his doggo already
I'm assuming there's a reason he's wearing this mask beyond The Aesthetic
Lady, it is rude to just rip a dude's mask off without his consent
Ah, that's why he was wearing the mask. He wanted to be a cop so badly he went to cop school undercover
Well, Zeng Shunxi does have experience playing the only heir to a wealthy family whose parents don't approve of the line of work he's gone into
Not sure that's true given Li Xiangyi 'died' 10 years ago when Zeng Shunxi will have been about 10
God, you can see why he was cast as Wu Xie
Ehehe! I knew he was lying
God, he's so cute
I love that they keep cutting to random shots of the dog. The editor clearly knows what's important
Yes, good. He's already vowing to marry Li Xiangyi
Wow they literally just met
Congrats you now have a sugar baby
Yep. Cool.
Aww they were getting along so well and then Li Xiangyi drugged him and told him he was a useless detective
Well, he brought the dead back to life so I guess Fang Duobing has to marry him now
I really hope that he actually said that
Yes, please do slam him into a tree and then feel him up
YAY! Soon they will solve crime together
That was a lot of fun. I'm not used to seeing Cheng Yi in a more comedic role. I'm used to him being all stoic and pining

That's a shed?? It's fully furnished including a bed!
Love that his mother is still trying to push them into getting back together
Li Lianhua has decided that the best way to get Fang Duobing to forgive him is so to be sad and pathetic
Oh no he asked for a blanket in case the poison flared up and Fang Duobing thought that was part of his act. Now the poison has flared up and he's actually sick
Well, on the plus side, Li Lianhua being actually weak and pathetic has reminded Fang Duobing about his urge to protect
Fang Duobing stayed at his bedside all night. I'm fine.
Oh, shit, he's definitely getting worse. He couldn't speak when he first woke up and his eyesight is starting to go. I am Very Concerned about how this is going to end. But, hey, at least Fang Duobing is back to touching him again.
No! When someone says 'I'll tell you this important information later' that usually means they're going to die. LI LIANHUA YOU HAD BETTER NOT DIE!
Oh my god STOP GIVING YOUR INNER POWER TO PEOPLE YOU WILL DIE
Fang Duobing gets to be the damsel in distress for once
Well mark me down as scared AND horny
Excellent shot. No notes.
Now things feel back to normal
Fang Duobing has a lot of fretting to catch up on
Oh, god, it's her again. Wait if she's here does that mean Di Feisheng is somewhere around too? I HAVE MISSED HIM!
Wow they are both getting scarily protective of each other in this episode. I love to see it.
Holy shit he's even standing up to his seniors at the detective agency
HE JUST QUIT HIS JOB RATHER THAN HAND OVER LI LIANHUA
That's what I've been saying!
Oh I forgot they were working together! So I was right to yell at him a couple of episodes back for being a dick about Li Lianhua
HE'S BACK! God, look at him. He gets all the best outfits in this drama
He's carrying Li Lianhua up a mountain to try and find a cure for him. I'm fine. Feeling absolutely normal about this.

I didn't watch one yesterday as I was visiting friends so it feels like forever since I watched this
Oh shit the evil child has figured out who Li Lianhua really is
Okay, I usually put two images above the Read More but this is a pretty major thing so
WHAT THE ACTUAL SHIT THE EVIL KID IS THIS DUDE IN DISGUISE???
Wait, does this mean Xiao Hua could theoretically disguise himself as a small child?
Well this has blown my 'he's going to give Li Lianhua the elixir so he has a worthy opponent' theory that I had a couple of episodes ago. Come on dude you can't kill him now he's all weak and pathetic. You were literally just complaining how sad you were about having no one worth fighting left in the world
That was a very dramatic entrance
The last time they met they fought to the death. Now that they're reunited Li Lianhua has decided to...flirt with him?
I think Fang Duobing would disagree
Why does this feel like Li Lianhua has just reunited with his ex-boyfriend who is still bitter about their breakup 10 years later
I still haven't decided whether I think he's dying in the way that Su Mengzhen was dying or if he's dying in a 'it'll be okay they'll find a cure' kind of way. Heroes kind of made it clear from the first episode how it was going to end. This one is less clear. I don't think I want to know so no spoilers please but I may change my mind on this later
Aww he went back to the tomb to get his puppy. His human puppy not his actual dog.
He's been unconscious for ages but the first thing he does when he wakes up is fret about Li Lianhua. He's a good boy.
Yeah, he pretends he doesn't care but we all know he does now
Poor Fang Duobing now thinks Li Xiangyi is a quack doctor named Li Lianhua and Di Feisheng is a servant named a-Fei
When the new boyfriend meets the old boyfriend. Look, we all know the solution to a love triangle is an OT3
Yes, that's more like it
Why do I feel like this is going to backfire spectacularly
Haha! He ate it all and it turns out he couldn't actually taste that it was bad
THERE'S ONLY ONE (GUEST) BED
Now kiss?
Asexual Li Lianhua?
I thought Di Feisheng was the one who poisoned him but apparently it was some other dude?

I'm not saying pets don't make good companions, but you had company and you sent him away.
And your dog can't help you when you get weak and keel over like this
How does anyone resist those puppy eyes
I thought they'd already established that. Maybe it's just something I thought was obvious, or did Li Lianhua figure it out but keep it to himself. So many secrets I lose track.
I love in dramas where you can stand on a busy street and yell 'everyone come and look at this' and everyone does. That would not fly if you did it irl. People have shit to do.
Aww is that the woman from the last case and the dude she was impersonating?
Poor Li Lianhua. He has two women fighting over him at the wedding of the woman he actually loves who is marrying someone else, and his two boyfriends are both angry with him.
Look, I don't particularly like Xiao Zijin but he hasn't actually done anything wrong. Standing there at his wedding and saying 'well what would you have done if the man your wife REALLY loves was still alive' is just rude.
That's what I just said!
I thought she was being sarcastic but there really is a sparring arena at this wedding
Apparently Fang Duobing has super hearing and can hear Li Lianhua whispering from the other side of the courtyard. But, aww, look at him quietly and sneakily training his disciple even if Fang Duobing doesn't know who it is
IS THE POLYCULE GANG GETTING BACK TOGETHER?? :D :D :D
Yes! Threaten him! I think he likes it.
I'm not sure Qiao Wanmian would be that bothered tbh given she was crying the day before her wedding to him
Oh, I REALLY want her to kick ass in her wedding dress

It's the weekend which means it's time for the divorced exes and and their new twink boyfriend
Dude, it's been ten years. Also, that's a person not a piece of property
Yes, good. Li Lianhua says women's rights
Fang Duobing gushing about Li Xiangyi to Li Xiangyi and Li Xiangyi's ex husband without realising who either of them are will never stop being delightful
Of course Di Feisheng named his sword 'sword'
LOL are they now going to have to solve the case of Li Lianhua's own sword being stolen
Look, I am fine with someone moving on 10 years after their lover died but wow this guy is a patronising asshole
Ehehe! Monk dude is playing matchmaker
Oops given away by his body language. So basically what this drama is saying is that the only two people who have figured out that Li Lianhua is Li Xiangyi are his ex-girlfriend and his ex-boyfriend.
Gay man finds out his ex-husband is bisexual
Aww look at that he's so pleased
Fang Duobing has some sort of 'Li Lianhua is in danger! Must protecc!' sense
None of your damn business?

I'm quite tired after a day of adventuring but @dancing-out-in-space and @hphaeton said this is a good episode and I deserve a treat on my birthday so let's do this :D
Yeah, girlboss your way into world domination with your enslaved malewife
I mean everyone else in this seems to be poly. Why don't you marry Di Feisheng and have Li Lianhua as your concubine
Uh...holy shit?
Is he going to rescue Di Feisheng?? :D :D :D
Di Feisheng: refuses speak or even to even open his eyes to look at Jiao Liqiao even after she stabs him
Jiao Liqiao: Oh, btw, Li Xiangyi is also locked up here
Di Feisheng: bitch, I will kill you
"Are you enjoying me chained up, bloody and sweaty?" Love that he knows Li Lianhua is there even though Di Feisheng has his eyes closed and Li Lianhua is hiding around a corner behind a screen.
Please say 'I'd rather have you'
They're going to hide...in the wedding chamber...
They're hiding in the wedding chamber and they're both in their underwear. I mean I know Di Feisheng can barely move but still!
Di Feisheng: There's a high probability that what I'm about to do will kill me
Li Lianhua: How dare! I just saved you!
I am having a lot of feelings about the fact that Di Feisheng gave his energy to Li Lianhua and now Li Lianhua is returning the favour. They are inside each other now.
I don't think I have ever seen either of them smile and laugh so openly like this. I need to go and lie down.
IN A BRIDAL CHAMBER NO LESS! I'm fine. Also, I love that they have somehow managed to find clothes in their exact size and individual styles
There's only one bed. Just saying.
Dude you literally just had a moment about stopping challenging him to a fight
Are they seriously pausing their romantic alone time IN THE BRIDAL CHAMBER to solve a mystery
Oh no! I love him.
XIAOBAO IS HERE TO SAVE HIS MAN
DAMN SON
I mean every time he did anything you accused him of being evil again but yes you were right about him
The OT3 is a proper OT3 now with no hidden agendas or secrets between then. And I think Li Lianhua and Di Feisheng got re-married so that's cool.

I realised this morning that skipping watching any of this yesterday means I won't be finishing the drama on my birthday on Tuesday, which is what my schedule would have meant. Probably for the best. I'm sure the end will make me cry and no one wants to spend their birthday crying.
God, I only skipped one day and I have missed these idiots terribly. Onward!
I am weirdly fond of the turtle tank. What if we took a killing machine and made it cute?
Oh my god they gave Xiaobao a giant crossbow
*sigh* Di Feisheng I thought we were past this
He clearly doesn't look happy about what he's doing, and I thought his endgame was just to cure Li Xiangyi so they could fight again. Unless Shan Gudao has the magic healing flower that Di Feisheng needs?
Oh he wanted the box! Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal (affectionate)
Ah, so I was sort of right. He has the flower but Di Feisheng didn't know. Or maybe he does know and he wants to trade the box for the flower.
Haha! Okay, he didn't know
Oh he is going to fuck Shan Gudao up
Is this going to be like The Sword in the Stone? Whoever pulls Li Xiangyi's sword from the cliff is worthy to wield it?
Poor Fang Duobing. Every time he decides to start trusting Li Lianhua again he gets lied to again.
The subs say confidant. I say soulmate.
They should hold hands
I love that it's the same now that he knows who Li Lianhua really is as it was before
Yeah, see, he knows Di Feisheng has some bigger plan
Of course he wants to kill the sect leader who abused him as a kid. I don't know why I didn't think of that. I support you, A-Fei. Fuck him up!
Okay, I am LOVING the dramatic choral music as he slowly walks through the place where he grew up, killing anyone who tries to stop him.
God, I love him
Yeah, death is too good for him
He freed all the kids who were still there. I am bawling.
He's made peace with his shitty childhood, now he's going to make peace with his young adulthood. Love that for him.
Of course she's back right at the worst possible moment
Poor Di Feisheng keeps getting poisoned
Oh shit she really fucked him up! Broke his wrists and his ankles so he can't fight or run.
I know it's because she's evil but the constant cackling is really grating
Remember when I said Jiao Liqiao was the only straight person in this drama? Apparently she wants a wife so I take it back.
Gosh he's so pretty
Swordplay, foreplay, it's all the same thing when you're Li Lianhua
Oh I forgot about his og sword at his old sect. I bet he ends up taking it back. He wants a sword that isn't tainted by Shan Gudao
DO NOT

Hils Watches Mysterious Lotus Casebook - Ep 12
Good news for me, bad news for everyone else. It's time for me to watch another cdrama and since I'm already watching one I'm just going to start watching this daily instead of the occasional episode on a weekend.
If you thought I wasn't normal about this before, prepare for me to be even less normal now that I'll be watching it every day.
I can't believe I've watched 12 episodes of this and I've only just realised that Liu Yuning sings the opening theme song. Now it's even more DMBJ adjacent
Wait, what happened at the end of the last episode? Why is his arm in a sling now? Oh, is it from when he fell in the pond?
I can't believe that after all this time Di Feisheng managed to sneak up on Li Lianhua but he gasped and jumped. Is this like when animals pretend to be 'hunted' by their young?
Oh, yeah, I forgot he 'quit'. See, this is why watching things in slower time is a bad idea. I forget what happened. God, I've turned into one of those people who needs the 'previously on' that they used to have when shows aired weekly
Oh no he looks hot with his hair like that
Aww he's taking care of his puppy
Every case Li Lianhua tells everyone what happened, the murderer laughs and says there's no proof, then proof magically appears. I am rather fond of it.
I love that Di Feisheng keeps saying he doesn't care about cases and then threatening to torture confessions out of people. I'm quite sure he's actually having fun solving crime with Li Lianhua he's jut not ready to admit it yet
Sure, let's throw in some misogyny with the murder
Wait, why are they arresting the younger brother? He didn't kill anyone did he? He's just mentally ill.
He does this every time. "Oh, you won't confess? Fine I'll confess for you."
He deceived me!
He's so dramatic I love him
Wow, okay, I wasn't expecting him to find his senior's body this quickly. And handily it's right where they currently are.
Bare forearms. Scandalous.
I looks pleased (or as please as he gets anyway) that Li Lianhua finally found what he was looking for, and I don't think it's just because that means Li Lianhua will cure him.
Gosh, that looks like a painting
Oh shit I forgot that was also Fang Duobing's uncle
Oh is that what you're calling it

Hils Watches Mysterious Lotus Casebook - Ep 39
The strong urge to just stop with the OT3 ending of the last episode is strong, but I shall continue
I happened to pause here to answer a text but god look at them
HE CALLED HIM A-FEI! I was just thinking last night that I hoped we'd get at least one more now that Di Feisheng has his memories back. I'm so delighted. They are so married.
This looks like the cover of a video game
This is a really awesome fight scene but it's very disconcerting that sometimes Li Lianhua can barely move without fainting and now he's in the middle of the most badass fight of this entire drama and he's not even sweating. Is this because Di Feisheng gave him some of his internal power?
Ah, now his poison is flaring up. Sorry, my bad. I shouldn't have mentioned it.
Okay, I definitely did not see THAT coming.
Di Feisheng has just found out that his new boyfriend isn't royalty, but the husband he just re-married is
Okay, cool. And you couldn't do this before now because...?
I was not expecting him to explode, and I don't think anyone else was either. This all feels very final episode but there's still another one to come after this
Aww they both love their Xiaobao
I'm scared to think about what's next tbh
I'd be happy if there wasn't another 15 mins left on this episode and another whole episode after this one. It's not going to be that simple, is it
Wait, no, is he leaving? I thought they were all going to live together!
Aww I'd forgotten about the voice throwing thing. Look at Li Lianhua sneakily helping Fang Duobing
Fang Duobing has permission from the Emperor to go off and be a gay little dude with his boyfriend and his boyfriend's husband
Aww her face
I know the emperor said we could discuss our engagement at some point in the future but I am just a gay little dude
Aww I do like her. I hope she finds a nice handsome heroic man who is not a gay little dude and will treat her like a queen as she deserves
Hmm...what is left?
