Mysterious Lotus Casebook: If the Golden Age Could Return

Volume One: Xie Huaian & Li Xiangyi. I resented the moon hanging high, for once it shone on me alone

He is Li Lianhua, a timid, miserly fake miracle doctor.

He is Li Xiangyi, the peerless swordsman and proud, aloof leader of the Sigu Sect.

In five years, he made the entire martial world know the name Li Xiangyi.

In ten years, the martial world taught him how to become Li Lianhua.

Huaian, do you want him to be Xiangyi or Lianhua?

Volume Two: Li Xiangxian & Li Lianhua. How fortunate I am to have met you in this life

Xiangxian,

When the bright moon of the martial world fell into the Eastern Sea, did you regret it?

When you saw someone as proud as Li Xiangyi lie low for ten years, did your heart ache?

When you learned your jade pendant had caused your younger brother’s death, did you... hate yourself?

If you had always been by his side, young man, perhaps his passion would never have faded.

Volume Three: Di Feisheng & Li Xiangyi. The bright moon has sunk into the Western Sea; where does the mournful wind stir the eight wastes?

There are three things Di Feisheng regrets most in his life:

First, eating Guanyin’s Tears;

Second, not watching Li Lianhua eat the Wangchuan Flower;

Third, failing to find Li Lianhua.

Li Xiangyi, no one can take my place in our pact.

If you won’t come to meet me, then I’ll come find you.

No one can take my place in our pact.

Volume Four: Li Xiangyi & Li Lianhua. I was born before you, and when I was born, you were already old. You resent that I was born too late; I resent that you were born too soon.

Are you saving me, or am I saving you?

It doesn’t matter.

You are me, and I am you. Why worry about it?

But...

I want you, Li Lianhua, to live to a hundred.

I want you, Li Xiangyi, to be spared the pain I suffered.

Volume Five: Spirit of the Cutting Throat Sword & Spirit of the Shaoshi Sword. You are the dusty road; I am the muddy clay.

In youth, it broke through ten thousand jun; the Cutting Throat Sword became soft as bone.

The Shaoshi Sword was made to strike down the vile and petty.

What a shame to be born at the wrong time.
