We're All Stories In The End

I'll be a story in your head. But that's OK: we're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh? Because it was, you know, it was the best: a daft old man, who stole a magic box and ran away.

Ooh I just realized ZZA changes the illustration accompanying the episode number for the different story arcs, I love these.

Episodes 1 to 8 (delivering the letter to capital)

Episodes 9 to 18 (the Zhongxiao courtyard case)

Episodes 19 to 28 (the Jin Xuewen and Huo Linglong case)

Episodes 29 to 37 (Wanshan county and Yaksha case)

FANG YILUN PHOTOSHOOT

[dangermousie]

this is such a ridiculously stunning man.

I know I keep calling him Zhang Linghelen of Troy but honestly. Look at him! Some people look great with long wigs and ancient styling and merely fine in modern and the others reverse but ZLH? Good Lord. You can't even go the idiotic foundation general route here since there isn't flowing locks and w/e. That facial structure is nuts.

Zhan Zhao Adventures, ep 29: Relationship status officially updated to "lifelong".

[naye-et-cetera]

Gotta put these tags from @spica-starson up here because there's a plural in "anything you want to know" that is key. This is the relationship status for the OT3 not just ZZ and BYT. Also confirmed by BYT after ZZ tells them what happened 10 years ago:

Find you an npc that gets jealous when there's new information about you, but he's not the first person you told.

This reminds me of Ruan Lanzhu's dialogue in ep 36 "I have all the data about you, whatever you ask, I can quickly find the answer", if we shortly ignore the angst of the confrontation—just imagine that line in normal circumstances.

I bet my soul he takes pride in knowing every little facts about Jiushi even though it's code. That's why when someone gets to know new information about Jiushi that he doesn't? He gets really jealous about it...which is funny to think about.

BUT going back to the angst—I could also see Lanzhu being sad that 'getting to know Jiushi slowly' was taken away from him. He would have loved if all of those information and facts came from Jiushi himself.
