Li Lianhua + saying "I love you" without saying "I love you" (1/?)

Mysterious Lotus Casebook (2023)

AND ANOTHER THING, I say, coming back into the tag with an unrelated question for the fine minds here in MLC fandom: how the fuck did baby li xiangyi afford to even found the sigu sect. He's like seventeen! max!! shan gudao presumably has built up a cushion of funds from fucking about on his lonesome in the jianghu for (mumble) years and probably doing some sketchy shit while unsupervised (and also fathering fang doubing, because the timeline of MLC is even more nonsense otherwise), and, I assume, the other people of sigu sect helped bankroll it, but still!

li xiangyi is seventeen? max?? somewhere between fifteen and seventeen?? and sigu sect is fucking big. that is a lot of very fancy land and buildings, and also a lot of very fancy stuff in general, where did this orphan street rat raised on the side of a mountain get the money for that? I assume he was sent out with like. some money to Not Starve, but I don't think he was sent out with 'found a rich ass sect' money.

like I guess bounties? rewards from grateful people he saved??? very explicitly not the imperial court, I think, given he's like 'we have nothing to do with them we cannot compromise our ethics' argument with shan gudao, so...???

I know it's Not That Deep, but also, blease, things cost money, how do you afford your fancy boy hair crown and robes.

Cheng Yi just announced he'll be playing the lead of a new wuxia drama, “赴山海” co-produced by iQIYI and Tencent Video.

Cheng Yi + wuxia??? I am seated. I'm greedy for more gorgeous fight scenes.

Handswitching

Swordwork

Footwork

The poster shows the lead with a sword and a guqin so I'm wondering if CY's character will use both as weapons.

Sexiest of Cheng Yi's characters fr fr...

Next sexiest IMO is probably Qi Yan. He spent a good part of the show tragically lounging in silk pyjamas of various colors. Such a diva.

Maybe just maybe I will give Immortal Samsara a chance...

Watching Mysterious Lotus Casebook common thoughts:

“Gay!”

“Ugh another mystery? Should I fast forward?”

“Omg that mystery was awesome I’m glad I didn’t fast forward!”

“Someone on tumblr… please gif every facial expression Cheng Yi is rolling out for this show…”

“Someone on tumblr made a gif set of my scene!”

“Gay!”

“Where is the dog?”

“I want a dumbass best friend to travel the world with who I can tease and play with…”

“Dude stop giving your qi or chi or whatever away! You’re gonna die!”

“Omg his eyelashes! Hmmm villain hottie.”

“This crazy bitch rules. Her agenda is dick and mayhem. She’s getting one at least.”

“Everyone has big houses in this show. And lotus ponds. And teenie tiny tea cups.”

“Poly gay!”

“Dude stop using your martial arts you’re gonna die!”

“The women in this show are great. But my Cheng Yi is my prettiest princess…”

“Villain guy (I mean is he even?) is soooooo… I mean… his hair! His grumpy face. Look at how he just stands there all menacing and hot…”

“The dog!”

“How does he keep his white robes clean? What was the laundry process back then anyway?”

“Gay!!!!”

“This show is made for tumblr peeps. Like… how can there be so much? Soooo much?!”

“Cheng Yi! Don’t cry… nooooo (let me drink your tears you beautiful creature it’s preposterous how pretty you are when you cry)”

“I think we are nearing the point where not telling your adorable dumbass your identity is borderline cruel… come on…”

“GAY.”

Eating so good today.

New posters, teaser and trailer for Fox Spirit Matchmaker Wang Quan + gorgeous new outfit leaks (gold-hair Cheng Yi in red and black is *chef's kiss*).

BONUS: Gold-hair Cheng Yi and Silver-hair Cheng Yi are really 2 completely different characters.
