"Strangely, I can imagine him writing them but not ever showing them to anyone. I feel like the love interest would inevitably resemble Kunlun, and he wouldn't feel like exposing his private longings to the world, you know? :D"

OMG AW, this is the sweetest idea and I want a fic just about that. :D :D ♡ And then maybe Zhao Yunlan convinces him to get the books published post-canon. :D (Or Shen Wei could also be writing very serious historical fiction for the public, and keeping the versions with the love interest unpublished. :D)

And the fic sounds DELIGHTFUL! *saves* :D :D
