I suffer from insomnia and this is what I wrote in the middle of the night
Here is the incipit of a little Fanfiction:
-------
Fang Duo Bing snorted for the umpteenth time that morning, he had done nothing but follow Li Lianhua around the market carrying all the baskets and was starting to get tired.
He put his purchases on the ground and then massaged his aching shoulders, when he looked up he noticed that the doctor was no longer in front of him.
He began to look for him and saw his figure, wrapped in the new green robes that he had recently given him, bent over rummaging in a stall a little further on.
He breathed a sigh of relief, for a moment he thought he had run away again.
He was about to pick up the baskets when his attention was caught by two young girls who passed by him chatting enthusiastically.
“It has already gone around the entire Jianghu!”
"It became my favorite book! The part I loved was the wedding dress part!"
"Oh, when the lotus hero was investigating the murders of the three brides, that part was beautiful but I prefer the scene in the wedding chamber, the love and passion between the two protagonists was captivating!"
Fang Duobing frowned in confusion, what they were talking about seemed strangely familiar.
He hurried to reach the two girls and with a radiant smile stood in front of them.
"Sorry to intrude ladies, may I ask you what you are talking about?"
The two girls exchanged a look and then giggled.
"Don't you know, young master? A new book is becoming popular in Jianghu" said the girl on the right.
"It's the love story between a fake miracle doctor who turns out to be a legend in the world of martial arts and his enemy" explained the girl on the left and then took a book out of her purse.
It was gold with green trim and the cover was engraved with The Hero of the Lotus and the Villain of the Sword.
The girl handed it to him and Fang Duobing opened it and studied its contents. The more he read, the more his eyes bulged.
This was absurd, the plot of the book was incredibly similar to what had happened to him in the last few months.
“Can I borrow it?” He asked the girl, he definitely had to show it to Li Lianhua.
"I'll give it to you, I have three copies" replied the girl showing the other books in her bag.
Fang Duobing thanked her with a small bow and then ran towards the doctor.
“Li Lianhua!” he called out to him, waving the basket of vegetables in the air.
The man rolled his eyes and then turned to him.
"Do you have to scream like that? The whole market heard you"
"It's important, look" and without further explanation he threw the book at him.
Li Lianhua caught it immediately. He glanced at him and then snorted a laugh.
"It's just a book"
"Open it"
Li Lianhua shook his head in exasperation and opened the book. He began to read and the more he turned the pages the faster his eyes moved behind the words. At one point he slammed it shut and then waved it in front of Fang Duobing.
"What nonsense is this?!"

Finally finished watching Mysterious Lotus Casebook.
It's a good wuxia drama in itself and as someone who has read the novel, the drama also managed to bring out the spirit of the novel who is the man himself Li Lian Hua and his long goodbye to jianghu. Because he once shone so brightly and proudly, it was incomprehensible to those that love and hate him that he would be content with not having it all, even to the point of death.
I really feel for LLH because those around him - from friends to enemies! - insist on seeing him as Li Xiang Yi and continues to put their expectations of LXY on him. LLH keeps repeating himself over and over, but ultimately it seemed that only Zhan Yunfei truly understood and accepted Li Lian Hua.
有些人弃剑如遗 有些人终身不负
人的信念终是有不同的
LLH's tragedy is not in his death, but in those around him refusing to understand that we have different paths in life and choosing one over the other at different points in your life is perfectly fine.
If ZYF represented acceptance of LLH's choices, then Fang Duo Bing is the ultimate manifestation of rejection of LLH's wishes. I was SO frustrated with him throughout the drama arggg. While I can't recall how FDB was exactly like in the novel, he was definitely not like the drama and I have no idea what possessed the scriptwriter to turn him into this sulky, needy young girlfriend to LLH. Couldn't they have just gone for the master/student dynamic minus the neediness? I want to tear my hair out every time FDB professes to be LLH's 知己 zhi ji … hold up, I don't think you know the meaning of the words you are saying. Student yes, friend maybe, but zhi ji you are most definitely not. I find FDB constantly demanding LLH behave a certain way because a) FDB determines it's the 'correct' way b) LLH should reciprocate the friendship the way FDB wants.
Heck, even FDB's mom has a better understanding of LLH as evidenced by what she told him before LLH left for the palace. I mean, I get it, FDB is much younger and sees the world in a black and white manner. But still, even to the last freaking episode after everything that he has seen LLH gone through, he was like noooo, you stay here, I will find the antidote, I will cure you blah blah blah. Sure it's human nature to want your loved ones to not-die, but if FDB had even bothered really to hear LLH out and try to accept LLH's choices, I would have been less annoyed with him.
Like what kind of reasoning is this??? 拜托不要再情勒! Why does LLH owe FDB or anyone for that matter to stay alive? Look, LLH is not actively looking to off himself but he has made peace with himself/his impending demise over the last 10 years. The world wouldn't let go of LXY and let LLH have his peace.
