Tsui Hark made (directed or produce) the Jet Li 1992 film Swordsman 2 and the East is Red. The former was losely based on the novel. I think the latter which was just some random story of DongFang Bubai. The original story probably didn't have the ML have sexual or romantic thought of DFB.

It’s worse than that. Dongfang Bubai in the original was very old and unattractive and was supposed to demonstrate the evils of power obsession whereas he/she was played by Brigette Lin in Swordsman II. This is a huge reinterpretation at the time.

Tsui Hark also started the young and hot Fahai trend with Zhao Wenzhuo starring as Fahai in his Green Snake.
