The Rough Cases Study (Why Ship THEM Platonically and Romantically?) 🤗🔎💖 by frosen2solid

Summary
At first, I want to read this part of the novel again because my memory was hazy as fog, but then I had an idea! Why not make this into a case study?
Basically I will compile the NOVEL chapters in random order, where I think the FRIENDShip meter or the SHIPPING meter is high and ANALYZE it😆
The first subjects are Cheongmyeong and Sobyeong 🌸🍃
Let me guide you as co-commentator/analyzer through these chapters 😆
Ch 2) ch 684
CM: “I think if I just take down the rat in front of me, I’ll feel better and calm down, too. Or at least, make that handsome face twice its size!”(Sir, why are you cataloging his facial features? Cheongmyeong thinks Sobyeong has a HANDSOME FACE. The threat involves RUINING something CM finds attractive. His hobby is destroying beautiful person's face like Baek Cheon's)
Ch 3) Ch 446
The two lifted their glasses, and they smiled brightly as if they loved the other.AS IFTHEY LOVED THE OTHERBIGA WROTE IT. THE TEXT ITSELF OBSERVES THAT THEIR SMILES ARE INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM LOVE.
(ANYWAY THIS SENTENCE IS THE PERPERATOR BEHIND WHY I SHIP SB/CM)

Summary
A bandit's fatal mistake of threatening a child awakens a monster.
Basically Cheongmyeong's first kill before he was Maehwa Geomjon 🕊️
“You little punk! I’ll teach you some respect!”
He lunged, his dao cutting a wide, brutal arc towards Cheongmyeong’s neck.
It was a straightforward, brutish attack, meant to kill.
Cheongmyeong simply sidestepped, the blade whistling harmlessly past his ear.
He didn’t even draw his sword.
He used the man’s own momentum, grabbing his wrist and twisting sharply.
The crack of bone was loud.

Summary
Cho Sam saved a dying person life and was paid with silver, and more 🔗🌨☃️
Sobyeong turned, searching for his unexpected savior.
A child stepped from behind a pile of crates.
Four years old, maybe five.
Dressed in rags that had a lot of hole.
His face was partly smeared with dirt, his hair half tied.
But his eyes.
His eyes.
Dark plum blossom pink, sharp and assessing.
They held an intelligence, a weight, that didn't belong in a child's face.

Summary
On a deceptively solid sheet of the ice pond, a layered question about trust and Jasodan dosage is answered with a dangerous, revealing crack.
The message was as clear as the ice beneath his feet.
His healing was being metered?
Or Cheongmyeong is simply allergic to being kind to a Sapa.

Summary
Cheongmyeong sees Sobyeong’s new glasses and decides they’re his now.
👓
A pair of thin, silver-rimmed lenses sat on his nose, connected by a delicate bridge and hooked behind his ears.
They made his eyes look… different.
Sharper, yet oddly magnified.
“What’s that on your face?”
Cheongmyeong blurted out, his own troubles momentarily forgotten.
“It makes you look funny. Like a startled owl.”

On Cheongmyeong's order, Im Sobyeong demonstrates the brutal, necessary cleanup the 'righteous' troops cannot stomach, to shatter the enemy's will and his allies' hesitation 🩸
Another soldier, frozen in fear, fell to his knees, babbling.
"Pl-ease gracious lord, give me mercy."
Sobyeong granted the mercy.
With a swift, horizontal sweep.

Summary
Im Sobyeong spends three years managing Plum Blossom Island (Maehwado), building an intelligence empire, burning through his fortune, and having increasingly unhinged conversations with office furniture while waiting for Cheongmyeong to come back and either validate his genius or kick him into the Yangtze River
🌸🏝️📒"Green Forest may be managing Maehwado's daily operations," Im Sobyeong continued, "but we're not naive enough to believe we could hold this position alone. Without Gupailbang's military strength, without the Namgung Family's reputation as a deterrent..."
He adjusted his grip on the persimmons.
"...Sapaeryeon would have crushed both Green Forest and the Tang Family within the first year."
He extended the bag of dried persimmons toward Namgung Dowi.
"So please. Accept these with my genuine thanks. Because without your family's protection, there would be no civilians here to offer gratitude, no merchants to save, and no Green Forest Bandits to rehabilitate."
He met Namgung Dowi's eyes steadily.
"We're only here because you allow us to be. I haven't forgotten that. Not for a single one of these 1,000 days."

Summary
In the comfortable haze of an opium high, Cheongmyeong and Im Sobyeong share a peaceful afternoon, and talking about everything and nothing🥳💨
T because of drug use ☘️🔥
"Don't make a new opium den near Mount Hua, you Sapa bastard."
"Nokrim doesn't intend to expand our business into the dark market." Sobyeong's tone was perfectly reasonable, which somehow made it worse. "This is a new batch from a supplier we're... evaluating. I wanted to test the quality. For knowledge's sake."
"Just say you want to get high."
"That too."

Summary
Im Sobyeong attempted to launder his chaotic energies into a questionable poultry investment, but he accidentally invited Cheongmyeong and corrupted Namgung Dowi🫳⚫️✨️
"This is—this is illegal in most provinces—" Namgung Dowi's voice climbed half an octave.
"Technically it occupies a grey area in Shaanxi's legal code," Im Sobyeong said calmly. "The local magistrate receives certain... considerations... to maintain that ambiguity."
Namgung Dowi stared at him. "You're saying he's bribed."
"I'm saying there's a mutually beneficial arrangement regarding regulatory oversight."
"That's just a more elaborate way of saying bribed!"
"Perspective is everything, Namgung Sogaju."

"What IS this place?" Cheongmyeong asked bluntly, setting down his tea cup with more force than necessary.
"A companionship establishment." Im Sobyeong leaned against the doorframe.
"They offer various services—cultural conversation with educated companions, musical entertainment, refined dining experiences."
He paused, just long enough for the implication to settle.
"And intimate companionship for those who desire it."
. . .
"This is—" Cheongmyeong's voice was strangled. "This is a—"
"A specialized service establishment," Im Sobyeong finished calmly. "I'm conducting market research on the business model."
"YOU BROUGHT US TO A BROTHEL?!"
M rating because male brothel, but NOTHING in this fic that scream 'M' rating i guess?
More like business S-trategy and M-anagement.

While Cheongmyeong fumed and Sobyeong smirked over their avian proxies, poor Namgung Dowi was just trying to save every fluffy chick from the grim reality of the soup pot.
🥚🐣🐥🐤🐓🍗"Are you suggesting we play matchmaker for chickens, Dojang?"
"It's just a waste of a perfectly good rooster if he gets eaten because the hen is stubborn."
"Hmm. Yes. Stubborn hens are quite challenging." The emphasis on 'hens' was intentional. "Sometimes they need... repeated exposure. Consistent presence. Perhaps some strategic food-sharing."
"Exactly!"
"Wait—"
Cheongmyeong caught the teasing look on Sobyeong's face.
"You're not talking about chickens anymore."
"I'm always talking about chickens, Dojang. This is a chicken farm."

While trespassing at the Nokrim compound, Cheongmyeong becomes an audience of one to Sobyeong's private and lethally graceful weapons training, setting off a chain of events involving archery lessons, aggressive mooncake sharing, and the ...🥮🤏
"...That was—" Cheongmyeong started.
"Enthusiastic," Sobyeong finished diplomatically. "But perhaps we should address your form before the next attempt. You're holding it like you're about to stab someone with the bow itself."
"I am not—"
"Your stance is all wrong." Sobyeong stepped behind him, closer than strictly essential. "Feet apart. Shoulders back."
His hands settled on Cheongmyeong's shoulders, adjusting the position.

Cheongmyeong and Sobyeong's escalating clash becomes so disruptive that their exasperated alliance forcibly ejects them from the meeting to resolve their mutual dental fixation
🍎🦷🍏🦷✨️Jo Geol is less subtle.
He claps Sobyeong on the back, making him wince.
“Damn, Nokrim King!” he says with a loud, impressed laugh. “Didn’t take our Cheongmyeong for the type to leave his mark! He’s usually more of a ‘break-your-forehead-or-ribs-and-be-done-with-it’ kind of guy. You must bring out the… artistic side in him.”
Later, he’ll spot Cheongmyeong and shout across the courtyard, pointing cheerfully at his own cheek.
“Hey, Cheongmyeong-ah! He got you good too! A clean hit! What’s the score so far? The first to ten bites wins the… uh… what’s the prize, anyway?”
He’s either blissfully unaware of the deadly glare Cheongmyeong shoots him, or he simply doesn’t care.

And now, a guqin.
A seven-stringed instrument of dark lacquered wood, its surface polished to a mirror shine laid atop a table near Sobyeong's lap.
"I don't think this is an office anymore," Cheongmyeong said flatly. "This is a hobby lair."
"Ah, but hobbies can be excellent business openers."
