Imagine Cheng Yi like this in "Mysterious lotus casebook" and the reaction of Fang Duo Bing and Di Fei Sheng seeing Li Xiang Yi/Li Loan Hua dressed like this.
He is breathtaking.

Xiao Shunyao
Aka our dearest Ah Fei in real life
However in this post, we are not going to talk about his biography, nope. We are about to focus on a much deeper aspect. *Sigh*
Simping!
Yes, more precisely simping about Xiao Shunyao's piercings and tattoos.
So let's buckle up and dive in!
Xiao Shunyao - Piercings and Tattoos
1. Eyebrow Piercing
Our beloved YaoYao sports a stunning eyebrow piercing in his left eyebrow. He mostly films after taking them out, so you might've noticed a scar there.

2. Nip piercing
Ahem well, this might be partially mature themed and if you are uncomfortable with such, you might consider avoiding reading further.
Yes, Xiao Shunyao has a nip piercing and you can see that here. (Picture Courtesy: Xiao Shunyao Official Weibo)

Now, TATTOOS!
Yes. He has tattoos. SEVERAL of them.
1. HUSTLER
From the medias Xiao Shunyao had shared beforehand, his biggest tattoo is on his left bicep. It says 'Hustler' in decorated cursive. (Please note this is very old. About 10 years old. He might have modified it by now.)

Picture Courtesy : Xiao Shunyao Official Weibo (in the first image it might look that it's on right arm, but that's a selfie.
2. 23 a cute little curved ♡ and a little triangle
Even though the tattoos are unexplained and mostly covered probably because of China's broadcasting rules, Xiao Shunyao is often seen sporting a small 23 and curved heart tattoo. And further up, there's a litte triangle, just above 23.

3. The Stripe Sleeve of Inscriptions (undisclosed)
There's quite a wide stripe of inscriptions tattoo running down his right arm, from inside of his wrist to all the way to the base of shoulder joint. Please note that this tattoo is also very old and might have been modified (mostly added new elements) in the mean time.
Even though it's undisclosed for whatever reason, from the look of it, it might be a Tibetan sloka script. But it's just an assumption.

Around 2023 (only a sneakpeek):

4. Five little stars! ✯✯✯✯✯
One of his small tattoos, on his right wrist (outwards). There's five tiny stars, with one relatively bigger and an arc of four smaller ones and as @qinzai has pointed it out, the closest decipher of the stars representing the national flag of China.

5. TRAMP STAMP
LAST but definitely not the LEAST! THE LOWER BACK TATTOO!!!!!!! (OH MY GOD HOW CAN THIS MAN GET HOTTER!!???)
IT'S A SPIDER
even tho looked like a crab on first glance. However (Hot damn man??! Wtf)

Okay, this was it! Well, not really, I wanted to rant and simp more and flood with pictures but Tumblr limited the number of pictures. Hence I'll be posting sneak-peeks of his Piercings and Tattoos on twitter and link it in here! Take a look if you feel like ~♡

it is absolutely legitimate to talk about how hot is xiao shunyao
I love that the fandom talks about beautiful and deep things then there are me that i'm talking shit of the characters and how hot is Xiao Shunyao

i love him 😍 also he is so tall 😳
So I saw this fantastic post about Shandong men at a dinner party and these guys are apparently leaders/long time participants of street excercise dance groups-- errr it's a thing where a crowd of people, mostly older, gather around in parks or wide areas where they dance in a group as a form of group exercise.
Anyway, have some Xiao Shunyao bopping around with people in the street. Petition for him to do the dance from the Shandong men video.
I just read an interpretation for “the moon that year was not as bright as tonight” / “the moon that year is just like tonight” on bilibili that blew my mind:
When Di Feisheng says “the moon that year was not as bright as tonight”, he means that he did not appreciate their relationship ten years ago like he does now. And since saying “the moon is bright” is basically a love confession according to Chinese romance novel / drama conventions, Ah Fei is saying that he wasn’t in love (or didn’t realize he was in love) with Lianhua ten years ago, but realizes he loves with him now. (This is very plausible, imo, because ten years ago, he was single-mindedly focused on Lianhua’s power and channeled his obsession with Lianhua into their rivalry)
But when Li Lianhua tells him that “the moon that year is just like tonight”, he is confessing that his love for Ah Fei had never changed: he loved Ah Fei ten years ago and loves him still to this day 🥹
I really like this headcanon / implication that Lianhua was the first to fall in love with Ah Fei ten years ago (and not the other way around). Because imagine Li Xiangyi / Lianhua at the height of his power ten years ago, realizing that he has a crush on his arch-rival who only sees him as a challenge to overcome. Nevertheless, he manages to win Ah Fei’s trust and they sign a truce, only to learn shortly after that Ah Fei “betrayed” him and killed his older brother / shixiong! Imagine his despair and heartbreak as he storms into Ah Fei’s yacht / ship to fight him!
And then, ten years later, after he lost all is power and resigned himself to waste away as a dying man, Ah Fei shows up, tells him he didn’t order his shixiong’s murder, vows he will cure him, and refuses to leave his side. They settle into their old banter. They instinctively rely on each other but cannot fully trust each other.
And this is when Ah Fei, who has only known a life of violence and has never found a moment of peace until now, begins to realize that he can love! He doesn’t have to relive his childhood over and over, killing everyone better than him until he is the last man standing! For the first time in his life, Di Feisheng feels safe with someone, he wants to protect rather than destroy. With Li Lianhua, he can finally enjoy the mundane and simple pleasures of life. Of course the moon looks brighter tonight.

happy six months since mlc began airing!!!
especially that 3rd look with the corset 😳






Xiao Shunyao's hanfu-inspired stage outfits vs his character costumes (di feisheng and shen langhun)
omg this makes so much sense! I thought it was just to add to the general drama-ness of his character 😂
Oh. Lmao. I only just figured out that whenever dfs is just sitting out meditating or wandering around and his hair is moving like he's got his own personal wind machine -- that's when he's radiating inner energy.
Other dramas will show neilli as a light or blur effect but mlc does it with wind movement. Is that the current standard for more wuxia-slanted series?

Happy feihua anniversary

They don't know about the things we do

They don't know about the I-love-yous

But I bet you if they only knew
They would just be jealous of us

They don't know about the up-all-nights

They don't know I've waited all my life just to find a love that feels this right

Baby, they don't know about, they don't know about us

i love them so much 🥰

Episode 17 and 18
I have to say, I really enjoyed this little storyline because it spoke volumes about Di Feisheng and Li Lianhua. It's like he's finally letting go of the woman he's been holding a torch for, the one who wrote him a 'Dear John' letter a decade ago, and who's been lingering around like a growly cat, fighting and hissing? —Di Feisheng. And who's there at the very end of the episode, when it's clear that Li Lianhua isn't doing so well, giving him his energy once again? Di Feisheng. Honestly, all of his actions just scream 'I love you, I care a lot,' without Di Feisheng even realizing that it's love. What is it with me always falling for the trope of 'idiots in love'?
Also I just looooove the colour scheme in the final scene. Both of them wearing green...just lovely

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! YáoYao airdropped a new song!!!!!! Pardon my terrible edit, I needed to share it right away.
Edit: Done retranscripting the lyrics since they aren't available yet. Savage translations added!!
Lyrics: 車帥 - Music: 葉立龍
最好的就是今天
更好的在後面
只要一直在路上
滄海變桑田
當未來登場的時候
會是什麼情節
是科幻電影
還是童話世界
把時光倒回某年某月
就會發覺
未來早已赴約
只是我的腳步慢了些
慢了些
掂掂父輩留下的家業
耗盡多少心血要開天闢地
還要戰勝一切
看神州來到新的時代
不難理解最好的重重疊疊
再翻開復興的一頁
最好的就是今天
更好的在後面
只要一直在路上
滄海變桑田
最好的就是今天
更好的在後面
只要一直在路上
滄海變桑田
最好的就是今天
掂掂父輩留下的家業
耗盡多少心血要開天闢地
還要戰勝一切
看神州來到新的時代
不難理解最好的重重疊疊
再翻開復興的一頁
Savage translations, beware! 😅
The best is today. Even better is yet to come. As long as we remain on the path, the blue sea will turn into mulberry fields (= the world is ever changing).
When the Future shows up, what will it be, a Scifi movie or a fairytale?
Turning back time to a certain month of a certain year. I'll realise the Future was already attending the rendezvous. My footsteps were just a little slower, a little slower.
Weighing the assets left by our elders who worked so hard to to split heaven and earth apart and vanquish everything and looking at the new era for our country, it's easy to see the many layers of bests and turn another page of revival/renewal.
