Hils Watches Mysterious Lotus Casebook - Ep 23
Tumblr media Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
A+ comedic timing. Also, DI FEISHENG IS BACK! HI I MISSED YOU
Tumblr media
Yeah, I bet you do
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I love them
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Even when Di Feisheng has amnesia they act like bitchy exes
Tumblr media
A totally normal question to ask
Tumblr media
Wow, okay, they solved that one quickly
Tumblr media
I love that he just knew Di Feisheng would be within shouting distance
Tumblr media
Yeah, he definitely didn't do it. They caught him way too soon
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
Di Feisheng: Urgh, fine, I'll solve your stupid crime for you
Tumblr media
Fang Duobing be like 'well, if Di Feisheng comes when Li Lianhua calls he'll def come when I call too'
Tumblr media
And he wasn't wrong
Di Feisheng: personal space is for other people
Tumblr media
This reminds me of something...
Tumblr media
Yeah, they are so married
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
It's okay though because Fang Duobing is there to take care of him and make sure he keeps warm 馃槶
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
Oh shit! Well, it wouldn't be Mysterious Lotus Casebook without one final (I hope) dramatic poisoning
Tumblr media
I love that he just calls him Xiaobao in front of everyone now. Everyone clearly knows they're together.
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
Oh fuck
Tumblr media
I am sobbing
Tumblr media
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?
Tumblr media
I suppose Xiao Zijin is going to blame Li Lianhua for this too
Tumblr media
I knew he was going to get free and leave before Fang Duobing got back 馃槶
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
He just rescued a trapped bird like a fucking Disney prince
Tumblr media
I knew the 'recipe book' was going to be all his martial arts notes
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
OH FUCK IS HE GOING TO DO IT HIMSELF?
Tumblr media
Oh, I think he was talking to his sword
Tumblr media
Well fuck.
Tumblr media
Oh, he landed in the boat. Maybe he's okay? Let me have my denial!
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
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)
Tumblr media
His stoic but clearly sad face 馃槶
Tumblr media
Well he's still alive. At the moment at least.
Tumblr media
I know he's talking about fighting, but he probably also talking about their relationship
Tumblr media
I want to hug him
Tumblr media
I'm fine 馃槶
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
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

Hils Watches Mysterious Lotus Casebook - Ep 26
Tumblr media
Li Lianhua, one of the most brave and brilliant minds of his generation: Yeah, this place is creepy. I'm out.
Tumblr media
Very much enjoying Fang Duobing and Di Feisheng working together to protect Li Lianhua. I hope we get more of that.
Tumblr media
Amazing work, all of you. A+
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
Oh my god is the wine made of people?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh my god. Fang Duobing offered Di Feisheng some bread and Di Feisheng took it! I'm crying.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
AND THEN DI FEISHENG SHARED HIS WATER WITH FANG DUOBING. Are they in love now? Is that's what's happening here? MY HEART.
Tumblr media
Look at those eyes. Has he learned the puppy eyes from Fang Duobing?
Tumblr media
Why do I feel like Di Feisheng is about to ruin this romantic moment
Tumblr media
Oh, shit, whatever they got drugged with has triggered his poison
Tumblr media
How quickly Fang Duobing has gone from 'I'm not saving him!' to being genuinely worried about him
Tumblr media
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!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You don't normally mind
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
Feeling Fine and Normal about this
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
This dude: Ohhhh! I didn't realise the three of you were together
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You can see why he's the detective. Did the missing head give it away?
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
We're in DMBJ territory again
Tumblr media
Oh you know shit is real when the family name gets dropped
Tumblr media
He's just a little dude who needs his two big strong boyfriends to help him up

Hils Watches Mysterious Lotus Casebook - Ep 11
Tumblr media
Fang Duobing's reflexes always tuned to keeping Li Lianhua safe, even if it's just from a roll of paper
Tumblr media
Of course it was Di Feisheng who threw it. He has to do everything in the most dramatic way possible
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He has a degree in architecture
Tumblr media
Poor confused puppy
Tumblr media
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)
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
It was bugging me where I recognised him from. He was in Immortal Samsara with Cheng Yi
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Well this is about to get awkward
Tumblr media
Ehehe
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
Is that a euphemism for something?
Tumblr media
Is that also a euphemism for something?
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
I will never get tired of Fang Duobing protecting Li Lianhua even when he just stumbles over a loose rock
Tumblr media
Can't wait for Fang Duobing to find out that the dude he pushed into the corpse pond is infamous martial artist Di Feisheng
Tumblr media
Love that he's drawn Li Lianhua all smiling and pretty while Di Feisheng looks all grumpy
Tumblr media
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

Hils Watches Mysterious Lotus Casebook - Ep 13
Tumblr media Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
Aww Fang Duobing has been abandoned again. The poor puppy
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You can't die until you're well enough for...ahem...our swords to come together again
Tumblr media
Uh...that doesn't look like it's helping him
Tumblr media
Oh no not more snakes
Tumblr media
I'm not sure letting a magical snake feed on him is helping him get better either
Tumblr media
Maybe Di Feisheng should have mentioned that before getting the Medicine Demon to try all these cures
Tumblr media Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
I mean he has a point
Tumblr media
Wait, what son?
Tumblr media
HOLY FUCKING PLOT TWIST
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
I hate him and it's his fault my life is so miserable but oh no he's in danger I must save him!
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
He has very long eyelashes
Tumblr media
Abandoned twice in one episode. This poor boy needs a hug
Tumblr media
Plot twist! Not abandoned this time!
Tumblr media
He's trying to see Shan Gudao in Fang Duobing. This poor traumatised boy
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This boy and his self-worth issues
Tumblr media
Aww he really is Li Xiangyi's disciple now
Tumblr media
I love them

Hils Watches Mysterious Lotus Casebook - Ep 25
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!
Tumblr media
He is a good husband. Just ask Li Lianhua
Tumblr media
But if you send him home who will make puppy eyes at you and take care of you?
Tumblr media
I wish someone would prescribe me medicinal wine
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
Me whenever there's a new plot development
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
Ooh is he starting to suspect?
Tumblr media
His face when Fang Duobing yells at him 馃ズ Is he starting to care for the puppy?
Tumblr media
"While you two were running around in a cave looking for me I found all the clues because I'm awesome." I love him.
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
Aww he stepped in at the last possible second and saved him
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
God, I just want to hug him
Tumblr media
Clearly he doesn't know what genre he's in
Tumblr media
Well at least he just came out and asked
Tumblr media
Every time Li Lianhua lies it reminds me of all those memes in the Guardian fandom about Shen Wei and his addiction to lying
Tumblr media
You may as well get used to it. He's not going to stop.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I love him
Tumblr media
I think your beloved might have a thing or two to say about your plans to kill his beloved
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
Oh no
Tumblr media Tumblr media
No one has asked Di Feisheng if he's okay 馃ズ
Tumblr media
Oh now that he's visibly in pain they care
Tumblr media
Fang Duobing! You are better than that! How many times has he helped you as soon as you called?
Tumblr media
Wait, I recognise this set! I'm pretty sure it was used in Heroes too
Tumblr media
I mean the last one wasn't actually haunted. That was kind of the whole point of the case

Tumblr media
I swear to god if he ends up having to pretend to be his own fake twin brother I am going to die
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
I get nervous whenever they mention how little time he has left
Tumblr media
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!
Tumblr media
Oh no. Is he going to get mad that he didn't beat Li Xiangyi in a fair fight?
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
Yeah, he's angry
Tumblr media
People do love slamming him into walls and I support this habit
Tumblr media
Yeah, I kind of assumed he knew. Actually at first I thought he was the one who did it.
Tumblr media
Yeah, that's not going to work. He nearly keeled over just from throwing a sword at someone
Tumblr media
This is weirdly romantic? He doesn't want to fight anyone else no matter how good they are
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
I'm amazed it took this long for the guard puppy to show up
Tumblr media
Dude, you literally try and fight everyone who annoys you
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
There are going to be some really awkward conversations when Fang Duobing finds out who Li Lianhua and A-Fei really are
Tumblr media
That's very sweet but I thought he had no money
Tumblr media
Haha! Oh no he stole Li Lianhua's money to pay for it.
Tumblr media
You'd think he'd be used to it by now
Tumblr media
Haha! He has no idea how much Li Lianhua lies
Tumblr media
Oh, sweetie, you have no idea how much you don't know
Tumblr media
That definitely doesn't sound made up at all
Tumblr media
OMG they're looking for Count Rugen!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
I'm only on the opening credits but, god, look at him. He's so good at looking tortured and pretty
Tumblr media
Oh no I am having traumatic Heroes flashbacks. Hopefully this will be less sad.
Tumblr media
He always looks so good when he's getting whumped and I'm glad whoever made this realised that
Tumblr media
God to love a drama that starts with an establishing backstory
Tumblr media
At 17 I was still in school and had no idea what to do with my life
Tumblr media
Very much enjoying this dramatic boat fight
Tumblr media
Oh no has he been poisoned? That's fighting dirty!
Tumblr media
7 minutes into the first episode and he's spitting blood. That might be a new record for him
Tumblr media
Flashfoward 10 years and Cheng Yi is now a doctor and apparently mpreg is a thing
Tumblr media
I love his doggo already
Tumblr media
I'm assuming there's a reason he's wearing this mask beyond The Aesthetic
Tumblr media
Lady, it is rude to just rip a dude's mask off without his consent
Tumblr media
Ah, that's why he was wearing the mask. He wanted to be a cop so badly he went to cop school undercover
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
Not sure that's true given Li Xiangyi 'died' 10 years ago when Zeng Shunxi will have been about 10
Tumblr media
God, you can see why he was cast as Wu Xie
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ehehe! I knew he was lying
Tumblr media
God, he's so cute
Tumblr media
I love that they keep cutting to random shots of the dog. The editor clearly knows what's important
Tumblr media
Yes, good. He's already vowing to marry Li Xiangyi
Tumblr media
Wow they literally just met
Tumblr media
Congrats you now have a sugar baby
Tumblr media
Yep. Cool.
Tumblr media
Aww they were getting along so well and then Li Xiangyi drugged him and told him he was a useless detective
Tumblr media
Well, he brought the dead back to life so I guess Fang Duobing has to marry him now
Tumblr media
I really hope that he actually said that
Tumblr media
Yes, please do slam him into a tree and then feel him up
Tumblr media
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

Tumblr media Tumblr media
That's a shed?? It's fully furnished including a bed!
Tumblr media
Love that his mother is still trying to push them into getting back together
Tumblr media
Li Lianhua has decided that the best way to get Fang Duobing to forgive him is so to be sad and pathetic
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
Well, on the plus side, Li Lianhua being actually weak and pathetic has reminded Fang Duobing about his urge to protect
Tumblr media
Fang Duobing stayed at his bedside all night. I'm fine.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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!
Tumblr media
Oh my god STOP GIVING YOUR INNER POWER TO PEOPLE YOU WILL DIE
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fang Duobing gets to be the damsel in distress for once
Tumblr media
Well mark me down as scared AND horny
Tumblr media
Excellent shot. No notes.
Tumblr media
Now things feel back to normal
Tumblr media
Fang Duobing has a lot of fretting to catch up on
Tumblr media
Oh, god, it's her again. Wait if she's here does that mean Di Feisheng is somewhere around too? I HAVE MISSED HIM!
Tumblr media
Wow they are both getting scarily protective of each other in this episode. I love to see it.
Tumblr media
Holy shit he's even standing up to his seniors at the detective agency
Tumblr media
HE JUST QUIT HIS JOB RATHER THAN HAND OVER LI LIANHUA
Tumblr media
That's what I've been saying!
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
HE'S BACK! God, look at him. He gets all the best outfits in this drama
Tumblr media
He's carrying Li Lianhua up a mountain to try and find a cure for him. I'm fine. Feeling absolutely normal about this.

Hils Watches Mysterious Lotus Casebook - Ep 8
I didn't watch one yesterday as I was visiting friends so it feels like forever since I watched this
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
WHAT THE ACTUAL SHIT THE EVIL KID IS THIS DUDE IN DISGUISE???
Tumblr media
Wait, does this mean Xiao Hua could theoretically disguise himself as a small child?
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
That was a very dramatic entrance
Tumblr media
The last time they met they fought to the death. Now that they're reunited Li Lianhua has decided to...flirt with him?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think Fang Duobing would disagree
Tumblr media
Why does this feel like Li Lianhua has just reunited with his ex-boyfriend who is still bitter about their breakup 10 years later
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
Aww he went back to the tomb to get his puppy. His human puppy not his actual dog.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
Yeah, he pretends he doesn't care but we all know he does now
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Poor Fang Duobing now thinks Li Xiangyi is a quack doctor named Li Lianhua and Di Feisheng is a servant named a-Fei
Tumblr media
When the new boyfriend meets the old boyfriend. Look, we all know the solution to a love triangle is an OT3
Tumblr media
Yes, that's more like it
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Why do I feel like this is going to backfire spectacularly
Tumblr media
Haha! He ate it all and it turns out he couldn't actually taste that it was bad
Tumblr media
THERE'S ONLY ONE (GUEST) BED
Tumblr media
Now kiss?
Tumblr media
Asexual Li Lianhua?
Tumblr media
I thought Di Feisheng was the one who poisoned him but apparently it was some other dude?
Tumblr media
Dude stop trying to push your heterosexual agenda

Tumblr media
I'm not saying pets don't make good companions, but you had company and you sent him away.
Tumblr media
And your dog can't help you when you get weak and keel over like this
Tumblr media
How does anyone resist those puppy eyes
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
Aww is that the woman from the last case and the dude she was impersonating?
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
That's what I just said!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I thought she was being sarcastic but there really is a sparring arena at this wedding
Tumblr media Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
IS THE POLYCULE GANG GETTING BACK TOGETHER?? :D :D :D
Tumblr media
Yes! Threaten him! I think he likes it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm not sure Qiao Wanmian would be that bothered tbh given she was crying the day before her wedding to him
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Dude, it's been ten years. Also, that's a person not a piece of property
Tumblr media
Yes, good. Li Lianhua says women's rights
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
Of course Di Feisheng named his sword 'sword'
Tumblr media
LOL are they now going to have to solve the case of Li Lianhua's own sword being stolen
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Gay man finds out his ex-husband is bisexual
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aww look at that he's so pleased
Tumblr media
Fang Duobing has some sort of 'Li Lianhua is in danger! Must protecc!' sense
Tumblr media
None of your damn business?

Hils Watches Mysterious Lotus Casebook - Ep 38
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
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yeah, girlboss your way into world domination with your enslaved malewife
Tumblr media
I mean everyone else in this seems to be poly. Why don't you marry Di Feisheng and have Li Lianhua as your concubine
Tumblr media
Uh...holy shit?
Tumblr media
Is he going to rescue Di Feisheng?? :D :D :D
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
"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.
Tumblr media
Please say 'I'd rather have you'
Tumblr media
They're going to hide...in the wedding chamber...
Tumblr media
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!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
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!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
There's only one bed. Just saying.
Tumblr media
Dude you literally just had a moment about stopping challenging him to a fight
Tumblr media
Are they seriously pausing their romantic alone time IN THE BRIDAL CHAMBER to solve a mystery
Tumblr media
Oh no! I love him.
Tumblr media
XIAOBAO IS HERE TO SAVE HIS MAN
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
DAMN SON
Tumblr media
I mean every time he did anything you accused him of being evil again but yes you were right about him
Tumblr media
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.

Hils Watches Mysterious Lotus Casebook - Ep 34
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!
Tumblr media
I am weirdly fond of the turtle tank. What if we took a killing machine and made it cute?
Tumblr media
Oh my god they gave Xiaobao a giant crossbow
Tumblr media
*sigh* Di Feisheng I thought we were past this
Tumblr media
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?
Tumblr media
Oh he wanted the box! Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal (affectionate)
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
Haha! Okay, he didn't know
Tumblr media
Oh he is going to fuck Shan Gudao up
Tumblr media
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?
Tumblr media
Poor Fang Duobing. Every time he decides to start trusting Li Lianhua again he gets lied to again.
Tumblr media
The subs say confidant. I say soulmate.
Tumblr media
They should hold hands
Tumblr media
I love that it's the same now that he knows who Li Lianhua really is as it was before
Tumblr media
Yeah, see, he knows Di Feisheng has some bigger plan
Tumblr media
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!
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
God, I love him
Tumblr media
Yeah, death is too good for him
Tumblr media
He freed all the kids who were still there. I am bawling.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He's made peace with his shitty childhood, now he's going to make peace with his young adulthood. Love that for him.
Tumblr media
Of course she's back right at the worst possible moment
Tumblr media
Poor Di Feisheng keeps getting poisoned
Tumblr media
Oh shit she really fucked him up! Broke his wrists and his ankles so he can't fight or run.
Tumblr media
I know it's because she's evil but the constant cackling is really grating
Tumblr media
Remember when I said Jiao Liqiao was the only straight person in this drama? Apparently she wants a wife so I take it back.
Tumblr media
Gosh he's so pretty
Tumblr media
Swordplay, foreplay, it's all the same thing when you're Li Lianhua
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
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?
Tumblr media
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?
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
Oh no he looks hot with his hair like that
Tumblr media
Aww he's taking care of his puppy
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
Sure, let's throw in some misogyny with the murder
Tumblr media
Wait, why are they arresting the younger brother? He didn't kill anyone did he? He's just mentally ill.
Tumblr media
He does this every time. "Oh, you won't confess? Fine I'll confess for you."
Tumblr media
He deceived me!
Tumblr media
He's so dramatic I love him
Tumblr media
Wow, okay, I wasn't expecting him to find his senior's body this quickly. And handily it's right where they currently are.
Tumblr media
Bare forearms. Scandalous.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
Gosh, that looks like a painting
Tumblr media
Oh shit I forgot that was also Fang Duobing's uncle
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
I happened to pause here to answer a text but god look at them
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
This looks like the cover of a video game
Tumblr media
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?
Tumblr media
Ah, now his poison is flaring up. Sorry, my bad. I shouldn't have mentioned it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Okay, I definitely did not see THAT coming.
Tumblr media
Di Feisheng has just found out that his new boyfriend isn't royalty, but the husband he just re-married is
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Okay, cool. And you couldn't do this before now because...?
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
Aww they both love their Xiaobao
Tumblr media
I'm scared to think about what's next tbh
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Wait, no, is he leaving? I thought they were all going to live together!
Tumblr media
Aww I'd forgotten about the voice throwing thing. Look at Li Lianhua sneakily helping Fang Duobing
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fang Duobing has permission from the Emperor to go off and be a gay little dude with his boyfriend and his boyfriend's husband
Tumblr media
Aww her face
Tumblr media
I know the emperor said we could discuss our engagement at some point in the future but I am just a gay little dude
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
Hmm...what is left?
