1. 1 哀 Sorrowful Cranes: Tianyou's Graceful Dance 哀鸿：天宥翩翩 Pudding Loves Northern Jiangxi Tangerines布丁爱吃赣北橘Anime Fanfiction512k WordsCompleted (The main story is complete) A fanfiction based on The Lamenting Geese: Ten Days After the City Fell, starring Fang Zhiyou and Lin Pianpian, both with normal intelligence, fighting ability, and social skills. Other characters include Su Lianyan, Liang Sui, Qionghua, Young General Wang, Hongcui, and Wang Sheng. The ending is a reworked “Pianyou” alternate-universe route with plenty of romantic fluff, and all the original characters involved get happy endings.

   Reader note

   The first book is my top recommendation. Fang Zhiyou, with his normal emotional and intellectual intelligence, doesn't neglect Su Lingyan nor let Lin Pianpian down. The character portrayal is among the best in fanfiction. The second book has Lin Pianpian already in the brothel, and the narrative perspective is unusually set in 1644. The male lead and Pianpian redeem each other (Fang Zhiyou is not the male lead). Those who like angst and subtle conflict can check it out. The third book features a new male lead and Pianpian's entanglement and sweetness, which is very immersive. Fang Zhiyou treats Pianpian as a "pet," which corresponds to the original work. The fourth book is a continuation of the story of Pianpian and Fang Zhiyou escaping to the southeast, similar to the ending of the original "Far Away Boat." The fifth book still has Pianpian in the brothel, but Fang Zhiyou's soul travels back in the ending of Dream of the Red Chamber. The sixth book has both the male and female leads' souls travel back in time, but the male lead, Fang Zhiyou, experiences several lifetimes. In one of his lifetimes, Pianpian is a yandere (obsessive and possessive character). [Shy] I believe what people want to save is the Lin Pianpian after the fall of Yangzhou in 1645—the Lin Pianpian who remained true to herself even amidst the mire. Too many fanfics now try to rescue her before she falls into prostitution, but I think that's not the Lin Pianpian we want to save, at least not the Lin Pianpian we want to save. Her tragic backstory is necessary.

2. 2 哀 The Lamenting: A Graceful Young Man Found 哀鸿：拾得翩翩少年郎 JTChanAnime Fanfiction921k WordsOngoing (I don’t understand the rating system.) An epic story with a slow start. Lin Pianpian never imagined that simply helping someone in passing would lead her to take in an idiot. He’s a lot like Fang Zhiyou, but he’s not Fang Zhiyou. Only when he personally brought the sunshine into her life did she finally believe it: this wasn’t Fang Zhiyou. This was Shen Zhibai, who belonged to her.

    After finishing the game's storyline, I felt very sorry for Lin Pianpian's experiences. Reading some fan-made content helped ease my mind, and from what I've read so far, they're all well-written; Pianpian's reincarnation plot is particularly well-crafted; Yangzhou Man's writing is full of charm; Youpian's alterations to some plot points finally gave the male lead some character depth, and there are others I won't list. I always felt that both Lin Pianpian and Su Lianyan lacked something I couldn't quite put my finger on. Then I remembered *La Dame aux Camélias*, and started reading again. I've come to the conclusion that Lin and Su were originally one person, or rather, the author deliberately split one character into two. Finally, I hope your heart can find a moment of peace in these books.

She said her name was Lin Pianpian, and that she had transmigrated from the night the city fell in 1645. She didn’t recognize traffic lights, couldn’t use a phone, was frightened by the words “food d 910Reads—Score11914d adds

    I highly recommend the first book! [Crying emoji] It's so good! Although it's a time-travel story, it's still very enjoyable. The author also wrote "Starving Corpses" before, which was also amazing. The second book is great too! The others are also very good. [Smiling emoji] [thumbs up emoji]

45. 45 哀 Sorrowful Geese: Knowing the Wild Goose, Cherishing Its Grace 哀鸿：知雁怜翩 Liang Hesui良禾穗Anime Fanfiction290k WordsOngoing In old age, Fang Zhiyou clutched the faded sachet and closed his eyes in the Cao residence in Jinling. When he opened them again, he was eleven years old. In his previous life, he had missed Su Lianyan's death and forgotten Lin Pianpian's kindness. In this life, he remembered everything, yet everything was hazy. Reborn, but not all-knowing. His memories were like shards of a broken mirror, illuminating fragments of his previous life only at certain moments: a poem, a bridge, a name. Su Lianyan's 81Reads—Score—14d adds
46. 46 哀 The Sorrowful Wild Geese: You Lian's Dancing Boat 哀鸿：宥怜翩舟 Three Colors of Water三色水Anime Fanfiction399k WordsOngoing An alternate-universe story featuring Fang Zhiyou, Su Lianyan, and Lin Pianpian. Happy ending, and all three get a good outcome. The timeline diverges after Fang Zhiyou and Su Lianyan part ways on the pleasure boat, before Su Lianyan jumps into the river. There may be some mild out-of-character moments, but the characters’ personalities won’t be changed too much. (Fang Zhiyou is probably the one whose characterization changes the most. His original characterization is just impossible to write.) 31Reads—Score—14d adds

As he lay in a reclining chair, Fang Zhiyou, nearly ninety years old, was on the verge of death. Before his consciousness faded, he thought once more of the woman he had let down throughout his life. Then Fang Zhiyou gently closed his eyes and died with regrets. But when he opened them again, he found himself not in the underworld, but in the place he knew better than any other: Fang Residence.

The characters in this story differ somewhat from the original. It has two female leads, Lin Pianpian and Su Lianyan. The early plot follows the original.

His master was far too much like a cat, while he was like a silly dog wagging its tail and fawning over him. Dogs and cats can't reproduce together, and the silly dog hadn't wanted to reach out his fluffy paws toward that cat in the first place.
