#FUCK THAT OLD WOMAN BINGHE

[coolshadowtwins]

SVSSS System Reveal Fic round up!

If you know one that hasn’t been recc’ed, then please put it in the comments/tags! I’ll add it to the post!

A Transmigrator and a Time Traveler Walk into the Bamboo House by VeryCharismaticDragon

Over a year after Shen Qingqiu's death, Luo Binghe consults his servant's servant, concurrently his disgraced martial uncle, for a way to bring the love of his life back. Shang Qinghua sends him in the direction of a certain time-traveling artifact, which supposedly brings one to the day they first met their soulmate.

Odd, though, that the artifact ends up missing the destination by just a few years…

A story in which post-Abyss Luo Binghe relives his disciple days, while juggling his secrets, traumas, and some unexpected revelations about the man he loves on top of that.

What is Seen by CaveteDracones

…is not [always] the real truth.

Truth-compelling artifacts in the hands of an enemy to one side, SYSTEM-mandated silence on the other, and Shen Qingqiu caught between the two. Is it too late to go back to the Water Prison? (NOTE: This one was recommended three times, and I have personally reread it multiple times. It’s one of my favorites and I really do want to read more fics in a similar vein lol)

open my lungs to let you in by ghostybreads

Shen Qingqiu had a secret. So, naturally, it was only a matter of time before he was hit by a truth serum wife plot.

//

“How are you?”

“Horny. Kind of want Binghe to rail me, I guess. But it’s manageable.”

Liu Qingge’s hand on his forehead froze, and he was close enough that Shen Qingqiu could hear his breathing stop. He stared back expressionlessly, the mortification distantly crawling up the back of his neck. Honest One-Horned–

The frustrated scream that he usually vented in his head, came out straight from mouth.

“aaAAAAAHHHH GODDAMNIT AIRPLANE–”

Futility in Practice by TGP

When Luo Binghe is fourteen years old, his shizun suffers a terrible qi deviation and fever that completely changes who he is.

and judgment is just like a cup that we share by Kieron_ODuibhir

The blob finished rotating into place in a way that wasn’t quite compatible with geometry as Shen Qingqiu understood it, and cleared a throat it didn’t seem to have.

“Greetings,” it said, somehow clearly addressing him in particular more than the room as a whole despite its total lack of features other than blueness and translucency. “I’m here on behalf of the Hyper-Celestial Peace and Order Enforcement Bureau. Crime scene secure, proceeding to interviews. Beginning with Subject One: You are Shen Qingqiu, formerly Shen Yuan, also known as Peerless Cucumber?”

First, do no harm by Terias

Shen Qingqiu has been acting especially erratic since awakening from his three day coma after a severe qi deviation.

Mu Qingfang investigates and discovers a great many things about his new shixiong. (NOTE: This one has Shen Yuan and Shen Jiu as the same soul, technically, but it still works I think!)

Show The Screenshots by A_Non_ymousWriter

When a rogue foreign System sends out a subtle virus, some outsiders are shown chat messages between a certain two transmigrators and their Systems.

AirplaneBro: nah dude shen jiu would never lay a hand on his female disciples like that, hes gay

Liu Qingge tripped on thin air while Mu Qingfang choked on his tea as Shang Qinghua (their god? creator??) casually shattered their view of their original Shen Qingiu. The fake Shen Qingqiu at least, was sharing their shock.

CucumberBro: EXCUSE ME WHAT??

CucumberBro: The fuck he is?!?! He literally GOES TO BROTHELS! LIU QINGGE FOUND HIM IN BED WITH A WOMAN THAT ONE TIME?

AirplaneBro: aight bro buckle the fuck up cuz imma take u on a joyride all about shen jiu >:)

—————-

Binghes#1Fan: I don't want to send Binghe into the Abyss...

System 2: User must comply, if User cannot do the task User will be punished and the account will be terminated.

Mobeis #1Fan: sorry bro unless ur okay w being ded af u gotta push binghe into the abyss

Ning Yingying's fists clenched. Okay, so trying to get Yuan-ge and A-Luo together would be harder than she thought.

My most crack of crack person head cannon is that Shang Qinghua. The great Airplane shooting towards the side. Is a Cuban Chinese man. 🇨🇺🇨🇳

His mom was Cuban and his Dad was Chinese. In his first like. In his second his mom was Chinese and his dad was Cuban. He doesn’t know English but knows Spanish. The biggest reason he’s not outed as a fucking transmigrator early on because of his mumbling is that a lot of it is in Spanish. The entirety of the Who’s your daddy? Airplane monologue is in Spanish but he says the last line in Chinese.

In my head Shang Qinghua, Su Xiyan, and Binghe are the only characters with curly hair. AAAAAAND because the system fills with Plot holes I believe that Biological. Shang Qinghua is Su Xiyan brother through their father. Not being raised together. Kinda like Shang Qinghua’s Father Secret family. (This circles back stay with me). She gives birth to Luo Binghe who is picked up by the old washer woman.

WHO IS Shang Qinghua’s Mother. And because of her Ex Husband with curly hair teaching her new cultural foods she later teaches both her sons this food. Shang Qinghua and later Luo Binghe. and so know NO ONE CAN MAKE A CUBANO OR PERNI LIKE SHANG QINGUA AND LUO BINGHE!! They can make fucking CUBAN FOOD!! It’s also why these two canonically too the average svsss civilian got the head disciple position because of their ability to cook.

Shang Qinghua is a great cook on the level of Luo Binghe because they have the same teacher and I REFUSE. To believe otherwise.

- Tell me you don’t see this vision. Luo Binghe coming to pick up his Shizun after he has a meeting with Mobei Jun’s rat. Your Shizun walks out with a little Box of fucking Pan con Lechón that’s the name your Mother use to call it at least. You haven’t seen anybody now or since that can cook that food. First you get sad and are about to cry because another man cooked for Shizun. Then your mind goes too how is the fastest way I kill the rat without upsetting Shizun. And only then do you pause. IS THAT FUCKING PAN CON LECHÓN!!

- Also Mobei Jun knowing a surprising amount of Spanish just not when it’s spoken very quickly. Well he knows Shang Qinghua’s broken Spanderin. So he knows quite a bit. But like also not a miracle worker if Shang Qinghua talks any faster then normal he cannot understand a thing.

If you want more I have more please god I need to talk to someone about this please!!

Just finished svsss vol 2 and oml gotta ramble

If I had a penny for every time I read a real good Chinese novel in which the protagonist turns into a mushroom shaped as a human and then runs off to turn gay id have 2 pennies, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice??! AND CONSECUTIVELY?? Why has everyone shook hands and agreed MUSHROOMS. THE PLANT. I THINK THEYRE A PLANT?? Are just inherently queer??

ANYWAYS something I actually found very interesting was I feel like if someone told me the plot I’d be like okay! And then run away and never speak to them again but as the one reading it it’s actually really entertaining. Mxtx’s writing truly never fails lmao. But also, I usually read anything with a good plot, which also means I usually drop anything with a bad plot, while the plot IS NOT BAD! THE SETUP OF SOMEONE BEING KICKED INTO THEIR LEAST FAVOURITE NOVEL IS HILARIOUS, but it’s also not the most intriguing thing I’ve ever read by itself, mxtx’s insane ability to make great characters really shines through in this imo. I always say I read romance purely for the outside plot of the story, which is true, but honestly I think this book may be my one exception.

Also big standing ovation to mxtx for always making a neat list of the most fucked up things ever and then going through to add them into her story, what a woman.

Ok anyway Luo Binghe when someone takes away his chush’s 5 year old corpse ⬇️

[rarepears]

Did you read my fic? Did you like it? Do you have any suggestions for future chapters or feedback?

Reading it makes me REALLY want to know how the fuck did Shen Jiu and Yue Qingyuan make up. What in the world could make Yue Qingyuan finally man up and do more than apologize and make sad puppy eyes at Shen Jiu????

Feedback? There's that scene where Shen Yuan is solicitating suggestions on what he should bring back - just who are those old men, bakers, etc. and why would they be crowded alongside the peak lords when Shen Yuan is saying goodbye? Wouldn't such farewells normally be reserved for family/friends? Not random strangers just elbowing their way in to pip in suggestions?

I'm excited to see Shang Qinghua and Shen Yuan's relationship be explained, especially when factoring the whole age gap being more explicitly here and mama bear!Shen Jiu lurking behind, still being sus AF about Shang Qinghua' spy status.

Also can't wait to see Shen Yuan's personality being revealed more in depth. Seeing how Shen Yuan's reaction to the group of women dressed in only one layer and not being jealous (wishing that he could do the same BlueThursday style) is interesting and certainly different from canon!Shen Yuan. Did Shen Jiu beat in ancient China standards of modesty? Is this the influence of growing up in Cang Qiong since he was a babe instead of immediately manifesting an adult body with Adult Decision Making Powers to Make Wrong Decisions?

Would also love to see the other trade routes being explored and explained. Like how cinnamon, native to Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon), the neighboring Malabar Coast of India, and Myanmar (Burma) made its way up to China and Cang Qiong. (Oh! Are there any demon traders? Or Shang Qinghua used Mobei Jun as a pack mule to get his much desired SPICES because no one is going to stop him from getting his American white girl styled pumpkin spiced latte!)

Oh! Luo Binghe being assumed to be mixed race between Roman and Ceres person - would the latter be assumed to be a slave woman? (What country is even Ceres?? My mind immediately jumped to Central Asia area for whatever reason.) I wonder how assuming such a background would influence Luo Binghe's mindset - would he be interested in Shen Yuan because he's exotic? Is he going to be concerned that Shen Yuan wouldn't fall in love outside of the Han(?) race? How are values and cultures going to clash between the two?

Oh damn, this got way too long. But to conclude, yes I enjoy it a lot! Not sure if you did a lot of research or you just know way too much about this... era? Genre? period? Ancient Rome stuff? in general, but it's fantastic. I have so many questions that I desperately need answered! Hope I didn't overwhelm you hehehe...

[mxtxfanatic]

Alright, I did one for my mdzs read so it’s time for svsss’s: Character Roundup!

Yue Qingyuan: lowkey gave me lxc vibes with the whole “overlooking abuse happening under my watch that I am both aware of and fully able to stop” thing, but otherwise, greatest Big brother when his Big Brother Energy™️ is directed towards an actual good person

Liu Qingge: dude was considered the God of War but let his reputation go to the wayside just to try to give sqq a proper funeral. If that don’t give him the best shidi award… also extra points for never liking Shen Jiu (though that comment on his cultivation was a loooow blow)

Mu Qingfang: an actually reliable doctor and friend. Too bad doctors are kinda useless in a story where sex is supposed to be the cure for all medical ailments lmao!

Qi Qingqi: she only existed to be bitchy and serve quips and honestly, good for her; one day she’ll outbitch the bitchiest character of them all (sqq)

Ning Yingying: ok but y’all don’t be giving my girl her flowers! The peak didn’t teach her how to fight cause the world wouldn’t have been able to handle an unstoppable nyy! (I want a rematch between her and the palace princess so she can properly stomp miss daddy’s girl into the ground)

Ming Fan: I guess he didn’t die this time around, good for him?

The nameless Qing Jing Peak disciples: I love how somehow sqq raised an entire peak of disciples who are crybabies to his face but disrespectful behind his back to everyone not their shizun (and he thinks it’s just lbh, smh)

Liu Mingyan: always lurking, always writing. Anyways, go make your coin, queen!

Sha Hualing: Luo Binghe owes my girl unlimited PTO, stop overworking her! 😭😭😭

Mobei-jun: congrats on the unintentional husband! Maybe go to someone else for relationship advice

Zhuzhi-lang: breaks my damn heart

Tianlang-jun: breaks my damn heart, but deflects with humor

Su Xiyan: she really did the damn thing, yet all of it is speculation 🤣

Old Palace Master: go to hell, fucking demented old man, fucking stranger danger ass creeper; he deserved having the most torturous death in the book

Shen Jiu formerly known as Shen Qingqiu: he wasn’t a character and didn’t deserve to be, that’s why he got replaced with someone everyone else liked better. All in all, a pitiable backstory and a pitiful end to a character who starts the story erased from existence. Redemption don’t work on the unrepentant

Bingge: oh sweetheart…we need you your own comfort Shen Yuan and a lot of professional help…

The System: still can’t outbitch the bitchiest character of them all LOL

The nameless “righteous” cultivators: Y’all consider it righteous to attack defenseless demons, including infants and toddlers, cause they “might be evil”? Go to hell, i hope at least one of y’all’s evil ass sects got demolished before the merge failed

Shen Qingqiu starring Shen Yuan: thank you, King, for your service in fixing all of your predecessor’s fuck-ups and thereby proving that it’s never to late to atone for the abuse you (not actually you) have wrought, despite what some people have to say 😒 Anyways, enjoy your honeymoon with the man every woman (supposedly) wants!

Luo Binghe: oh honey, oh sweetie, we need you a therapist; go on and enjoy your honeymoon with the man every man wants while that’s pending

Bingqiu: they make each other so happy 🥺 You couldn’t pry this ship from my hands if I was Tianlang-jun’s rotting plant body.

#svsss #human reads svsss #i think that’s everyone #let’s hope I’m not forgetting anyone important like last time lmao

Stop Being Mean To The Heroine!!

Summary: Shen Yuan just wanted her underrated and overhated best girl, Luo Binghe, to be happy. So why the fuck was she put into the role of the bitch who tormented her Bing-mei the most?!

Rating: T+

Warnings: Mentioned physical and emotional abuse, internalized misogyny and homophobia, language, mentions of sexual content, Shen-brand clownery.

Notes: Look. Maybe if I could find more than ONE fucking villainess isekai yuri, we wouldn’t be here. But I cannot, so here we are. This is more of a preview/for fun idea. I know I wrote something similar with shuake...but this one has lesbians so it’s completely different.

***Alternate Ao3 Link*** Commission? Donate?

Light shined through the glass windows of the greenhouse, basking the inner garden with an almost halo. That halo, of course, couldn’t compare to the one atop a young maiden’s head, no matter how much that maiden’s head hung low between hunched, miserable shoulders.

“...Luo Binghe,” her most wretched tutor began. Slowly. Cruelly.

Luo Binghe flinched, and that flash of panic and unease was enough to cause any gallant man to launch himself forward to protect her from the world and its horrors. Those helpless garnet eyes darted away from her tutor, those precious cupid-bow lips trembling.

“Y-Yes, madam?”

Such a pitiful quiver! It should’ve been a siren call to every knight far and wide!

The most beautiful maiden is in peril! Come save her right away! What the fuck are you waiting for?! Doesn’t your heart cry for her torment?!

To make matters worse, the system glowed menacingly before the wretched tutor. An unwavering text box with a single question.

How should she be scolded?

And it only provided three options.

>Throw tea at her.

Ah, yes. The tried and true punishment of dumping hot tea on the poor girl and then forcing her to sit properly for hours. And if scalding hot water to the point of blisters wasn’t enough to push Luo Binghe to the brink of tears…

>Smack her arms.

Then there was always the pure physical fucking torture! Why even be shy about it, ah?! Why not just beat this poor girl like a fucking drunkard if you just want to see her battered and broken?! Might as well keep it simple! And you can still force her to sit properly for hours after! Why! Not! Why the fuck not?!

>Scold her verbally.

This one could only earn a helpless sigh from the wretched tutor. The mega bitch whose only purpose, it seemed, was to abuse the pure-hearted heroine. Keeping her face hidden by her fan, the bitch finally spoke up.

“Straighten your shoulders. A lady must always have good posture.”

Stern. Cold. BITCH.

“Yes, madam!”

Luo Binghe, ever the dutiful darling, hurriedly squared her shoulders and…and, and, and…

Bounce.

Yep. There they were.

Luo Binghe’s greatest weapons.

Her bountiful bosom rising with the motion, now at attention. Even stuffed into an unsightly gown didn’t fully obscure the perfect curvature nor the plush swell. The tits that launched ten thousand ships in the flesh! No wonder many a man lost their heart and mind immediately!

And now even the mega bitch tutor was ogling her like a dirty old uncle! What the fuck?! Could this wretch’s degeneracy know no bounds?!

The tutor quickly resumed hiding behind her fan, a racing heart where the cold void should’ve been.

Indeed, Shen Yuan was truly gobsmacked by the precious fruits of her most cherished idol. So much so that she nearly broke character! While the mega bitch tutor would indeed eye Luo Binghe’s chest, that was more so with disgust and disdain than…the awestruck marveling that she was actually doing.

That stupid fucking system was blaring fucking OOC warnings at her, too.

Shen Qingqiu is a cold-hearted woman who never breaks face. Whose cruel eyes only grow frostier. If I cannot play this role, then…who knows what might happen to me.

And already, the system shifted into another text box.

How will you respond?

With three wretched fucking options.

>Throw tea at her.

>Tell her she looks like a whore.

>Verbally reprimand further.

Why the hell is this bitch’s first thought to always throw tea at Binghe, ah?! Luo Binghe has probably been doused in tea more often than she’s been bathed!

And body-shaming was just out of the question! That was a betrayal of womanhood and clearly just a display of insecurity! Just because Luo Binghe’s body type was enviable and unattainable did not fucking mean it was okay to tear her down for it! Just what the fuck!

Biting her lip in frustration, Shen Qingqiu gritted her teeth through the third option.

“Chin up. Eyes straight.” And before she can even stop herself, “You’re such a disappointment.”

Are you really so goddamn petty that you can’t be a little polite to this poor little sister?!

“Yes, Madam.” And Luo Binghe! That sweetheart! Her chin went up and her eyes valiantly locked on the fan of her tutor (whose face was still hidden). “This lowly one apologizes for her incompetence.”

Don’t apologize! Don’t! Not only is it not your fault that your tutor’s just a petty mega bitch…

Inside Shen Qingqiu’s head was only screaming.

But the more pitiful you are, the greater the karmic retribution will be at the hands of all your vengeful husbands!!

–

To start with, the world of the game was…trash. It was utter trash.

Pretty Immortal Demon Girl was an uninspired and vapid title, but Shen Yuan was drawn to the premise and figured she had time to kill. If this dating sim boasting hundreds of husbands was any good then maybe it’d be fun for an afternoon or two.

First of all, it was less a dating sim and more a hubby collect-a-ton. Oh sure, some of the meat bags had names attached to their handsome faces but it wouldn’t be long before they got lost in the sea of hot dogs all panting over and crawling over one another to slobber on the heroine’s feet. It was one of the most shameless indulgences of wish fulfillment that Shen Yuan ever sat through.

And of course, the cursed thing had amassed a cult following of tons of fans and fujoshi over the various men from the sweet-faced childhood friend to the sexy and seductive demon lord’s son. However, one character often lost in the shuffle was, ironically and yet predictably enough, the heroine.

Luo Binghe was…frankly the only reason that Shen Yuan kept reading even after she long lost track of the guys following Dude No. 42.

Her beginnings were as humble as could be. She was an orphan discovered in the river by an old washerwoman and raised with a lot of love and care. Tragically, her adoptive mother passed away from sickness and age, leaving the poor girl alone once more.

And then, she was discovered to be the secret daughter of a well-respected knight of the palace! The old palace master, who had cared deeply for that knight then took Luo Binghe in.

But rather than fortune shining down upon her, that palace turned out to be a special kind of hell. Like any other weepy and victimized heroine, Luo Binghe was forced to suffer all kinds of humiliation and bullying from her peers and even the palace staff, but the worst offender was no doubt the wretched mega bitch tutor.

Shen Qingqiu! Once a respected swordswoman and sorceress who following an unfortunate deviation was forced into early retirement and could only continue in the field as a teacher. She still commanded respect with not only her intelligence but also her clever handle on social posturing and networking, so if you thought to feel even the slightest bit sorry for her, think again!

Shen Qingqiu had always been a bitch who delighted in tormenting her female squires and underlings while shamefully lusting after the men. But as she was the beloved sworn sister of the highly respected master of swords and magic, Yue Qingyuan, no one dared speak a word against Shen Qingqiu.

And because of that peerless reputation, Luo Binghe was dropped off in front of Shen Qingqiu without a second thought.

And Shen Qingqiu, the petty fucking hypocrite that she was, took one look at this filthy little orphan only taken in due to her supposed bloodline…and decided that the new purpose in her life should be tearing Luo Binghe to shreds.

Yes, Shen Qingqiu was loathsome to the bone! Not a single soul mourned when the witch had been torn to shreds by the army of husbands.

But Luo Binghe didn’t fare much better within the fanbase.

Once pure-hearted and innocent, once her demonic blood was revealed and Shen Qingqiu’s immediate attempt on her life was evaded… Luo Binghe had gone through a devastating transformation.

The white flower blackened into a spiteful and vindictive seductress. One who still pretended to be a lamb to all the men to twist them into doing her bidding. One who was not above fucking men into submission and dangling pleasure over their heads as she ordered travesty after travesty. All in the name of destroying those who had wronged her.

Shameless! Perhaps even vile! A pure green tea bitch!

And so fucking interesting, Shen Yuan thought! Anyone who complained clearly had no taste or it was just sexism.

Sure Luo Binghe wasn’t the typical virtuous heroine, but she was complex! Still tortured! Under those thorns of cruelty and sexuality was still the broken, delicate heart of a maiden! One that just needed the right mending by just the right man…

Which. Never. Fucking. Happened.

Every ending was the fucking same with a cold Luo Binghe ruling the kingdom with her harem army. The only real difference was some of them focused on a specific husband or two. This resulted in the fanbase raging against Luo Binghe for being a tyrannic empress and writing fic after fic where <insert husbando here> came to his senses and vanquished the dreaded beast.

Whereas Shen Yuan looked at all these useless fucking fuck boys and was like, “NONE of you could reach Luo Binghe’s maidenly heart?! Not a SINGLE fucking one?!”

What a fucking waste of time! To think another woman wrote something so deeply unsatisfying! Even Shen Yuan could do better! She could do much better!

Shen Yuan could easily write a story where her precious Bing-mei found love and happiness with the perfect man of her dreams!

And then Shen Yuan died.

Shen Yuan then woke up…in the body of the mega bitch Shen Qingqiu. With the system happily blipping into view to inform her of all the torment that she was to inflict on Luo Binghe lest the world be destroyed and she get sent back to her real world where nothing more of her than a corpse remained.

Motherfucker.

–

So. She couldn’t have been reborn as Shen Qingqiu before meeting Luo Binghe. Oh no, that would’ve been too fucking easy. By the time Shen Yuan’s soul rolled around into the black hole that supposedly housed Shen Qinqgiu’s stone-cold heart, it had already been three years since Luo Binghe was taken in.

Three years.

Three years of getting tea thrown at her. Getting locked in the shed. Being forced on her hands and knees for hours. Being forced to fast for days after body-shaming. To make matters worse, Luo Binghe’s hair was currently shorter than a boy’s.

This was the case…because Shen Qingqiu had wrenched up a handful of Luo Binghe’s curly tresses and forcibly sheared them off. Blaming a sobbing Luo Binghe for having such untameable hair.

God. Fucking. Dammit. Shen Yuan knew she was fucked. That she was forced to keep torturing this poor girl was the cherry on top of this shit sundae!

But if the host does well, the system cheerfully chirped. She may freeze the dialogue option and the OOC warnings.

By the time she fucking managed that, Shen Qingqiu would’ve already dug her grave six feet under.

It sucked. It really, really sucked.

–

“It sucks so much!”

OOC, the system informed her smugly. Shen Qingqiu would never whine and kick her feet like a spoiled brat.

“Fuck off! Let me act however I damn well please in my own room!”

Permission granted, the system decided.

Piece of shit. Shen Qingqiu threw a pillow which just flew right through the screen. The system flicked out of existence but no doubt it was cackling at her misery. Shen Qingqiu had half a mind to yank her own hair out of her scalp and scream.

Unfortunately, it was for the better she not be overheard. Shen Qinqiu was thought to be as strong and silent as a statue. One who only spoke when necessary and never drew attention to herself by any means beside a sheer force of presence.

What a fucking laugh considering what a monster the woman actually was.

Shen Qingqiu sighed, opening and shutting her fan a couple of times.

The rest of that meeting with Luo Binghe had, thankfully, passed by without further incident. Once Luo Binghe’s posture had been corrected no less than five times, the system stopped bothering them and Shen Qingqiu could sip the tea in peace. It was tea that Shen Qingqiu had brewed herself to ‘teach Luo Binghe how it was done’ (read: so that she’d have one less thing that the system would force her to get on Binghe’s ass about), and thankfully she retained enough physical memory to not embarrass herself with a weak cup.

Luo Binghe still seemed hesitant, but she sipped the tea and complimented Shen Qingqiu earnestly and sweetly. Shen Qingqiu never responded to anything. Because anytime she spoke, it was always, always, always to say something fucking nasty.

“I can’t compliment Bing-mei on anything!” Shen Qingqiu lamented.

Because that would be OOC, the system reminded her.

Shen Qingqiu groaned, waving the system away.

OOC. Once she unfroze that feature, she’d be able to treat Luo Binghe justly. She’d be able to shower the child with praise instead of hot tea. She’d be able to pat that curly head without pulling out the strands. She’d be able to get on her knees and grovel for forgiveness so that Luo Binghe wouldn’t send the dogs after her!

Change her fate! Change the ending!

And then, Shen Qingqiu thought with the utmost seriousness. Weed through all those useless sausages and find a truly worthy man for my darling Bing-mei.

But did such a man even exist? Maybe, as the reformed and oh so dutiful tutor, Shen Qingqiu could keep that precious flower to herself to painstakingly nurture and care for…

DEGENERACY WARNING!!!

“It was a fucking joke!” Shen Qingqiu hissed at the blaring system. “Obviously, the best thing to do would be to retire to the peaceful countryside once I can be sure that Luo Binghe won’t have me hunted down!”

Besides, even if I were a man, Luo Binghe deserves better than a bitter nag.

Unfortunately, matchmaking would have to come later. Much later. She needed to find a way to freeze the dialogue options and OOC restriction stat.

She didn’t think the system would stay satisfied with mere verbal abuse. So before the dialogue forced her into doing something truly heinous…she had to act.

No pressure.

Shen Qingqiu fanned herself rapidly.

No pressure at all.

Best of luck to the host! The system cheered.

She sure as fuck was going to need it.

It’s not just for my sake, Shen Qingqiu thought, biting her lip as her head filled with images of that sweet, pure-hearted heroine. I want to do right by you as well, Bing-mei. It might be tacky, but please stay strong!

Once your madam freezes the dialogue and the OOC, there will be nothing stopping her from throwing herself at your feet!

wow sauron looks SO weird with his hair up

a red wedding is about to happen // its snowing as well for maximum effect

he cannot control hellfire well anymore he really should not be doing this

girlie's 'i want to jump into the river' after getting caught locking lips was so cute

also why is everyone acting like they dont know why sauron cant use hellfire // i mean he was against her restoring his emotions for this very reason??

god i knew they were gonna be disgustingly cute

i think jieli was prettier in the mortal clothes but girlie is definitely more gorgeous in her immortal robes

i really appreciate the little comedic moments scattered through this show

omg this is beautiful // the women singing together for the return of their men // very avatar like

DAMN that was an eventful two episodes // the wedding happened, batman appeared, everything went to plan, batmans identity was revealed, girlie and sauron finally kinda got together, danyin and ice man came back and girlie's true identity was also revealed

its so crazy that they are saying they need to settle the score as if sauron hasnt regularly whooped jack frost's ass completely

girlie you were happy as a mortal cause you were rich

omg she is literally 'i see you as a nice friend'-ing him rn. i didn't expect this level of self awareness

sauron feeling proud of dragon boy for scoring a date

sorry dragon boy jieli is a businessminded woman

i feel like a matchmaking auntie watching these cuties together

oh good batman backstory // he literally has no parents. but he is also blind like a bat. and uses sound - the flute. // i am a genius

HAN PU!????????? baby batman is HAN PU (who rules the world reference)

DANYIN? danyin is the baby??? then why does the pregnant lady look like jieli???

i am 99% convinced fake old god is gonna die

this is a very random last minute storyline/backstory that i did seriously not see coming

has jieli been a plant by catwoman and batman this whole time?? thats why she cant reciprocate dragon's feelings?

shangque stop saying you'll forgive her manipulating you

damn the whole city gathered to stop him from getting laid

he wants to mawwy herrr

this is why dating villains is fun, they truly dont give a fuck about right or wrong, just you. great romance

he didnt go to hang locks! does he need to get the spike in him right NOW?

that punishment is so awful sauron become 3D in a 2D show

there is lightning! are they gonna kiss kiss body swap again?

why dont they just tell emo boy girlie isnt a fairy, she is the goddess of xishun

this conflict is seriously so unneccessary, she is a GODDESS

the people on twitter were right, this does get only better as you keep watching

thats not a cave, thats a torture chamber

and he decided to share her pain // ofcourse he did

thats a long ass wig

i thought he was gonna carry her but them walking hand in hand is so much better

ice man and jin guangshan's fathers name is lord DONG that is amazing

wowwwwww danyin just confessed her love in front of EVERYONE // balls // she has got balls

girlie's true identity was the fix-it of everything huh

dragon boy is brave to the point of stupid giving jieli all his money // omg is she finally accepting him // i wonder what they will get up to in his dragon form

now wtf is happening here

plot is now aiming at killing girlie i see

i dont see how he didnt see the loss of hellfire coming from miles away after he got his emotions back, i mean wasnt he so opposed to it for this very reason??

i cant believe they hurt my babygirl dragon boy

the phrase "menacing fairies" is quite funny

sauron just wants to live in domestic bliss but the plot wants WAR

i love the meek obedient expression sauron gets on his face around girlie

he is too smart to work with an obviously evil swirling dark cloud // right?

mr sauron i thought you werent gonna lie to her

she has gotten good at setting boundaries

is he possesed rn or just what is happening

i hope the war lives up to the hype, unlike who rules the world // i mean we have been talking about it for literally 30 episodes

the crazy thing is that if he had been straight up with her and told her why she has to die she would have killed herself easily

jieli is fucking smart

I GET IT NOW // he cant take off the bone orchid cause she is devoted to him, so he has break her heart so he can take it off

oooo is it time for ✨war✨

for two opposing armies the fairy realm and demon realm sure have the exact same armour

i think even if she tries to kill herself she wont die cause of special goddess powers

ooooo i think he will use the evil qi and then girlie will purify it

wow her screams of pain are quite intense

honestly i am sick of lady war just having no agency in this story // like lets have her come back to life and tell off batman please

ohhh its the long awaited batman vs iceman fight

they sure picked a place with terrible visibility for this war huh

who tf is qingchuan???

after all this time iceman just now found out batman is ronghao?

love how lady si ming still hasnt shown up again // though i do still believe she will

i knew it!! her magic dust brought everyone back to life

that god(dess) for better visibility amirite

wait are they still pretending she isnt gonna live

sauron doesnt have enough sand on his face, he face planted multiple times. i need him to be coughing up sand

oh wow she is actually disintigrating thanos snap style

why is jieli not just telling dragon boy the truth that she was poisoned? is it cause she knows catwoman is gonna come after her and she doesnt want him to get hurt?

and now batmans all happy and shit?? rude

omg stop manipulating lady war i am sick and tired of her agency being taken away

awwww this is a very cute sequence if not for the fact that he is definitely dreaming

wow watching sauron smile with all his teeth is weirddd

so i guess the remaining 5 eps will be him trying to get girlie back

if dragon boi dies i am gonna riot

oh its a dream sharing incense burner!

woooooow hot take from ice man there 'she will come back from death cause she hasnt married me yet'

i love the juxtaposition of the chaos irl and the serenity in his dream

i am really confused about the girlie marrying iceman prophecy because there is no way thats gonna happen right? unless she has some serious memory loss or something

i am so confused about ronghao's feeling towards lady war

jin guangshan is a fucking bitch

hah i knew lady si ming was gonna turn up

what a power couple though lady si ming and her dragon living together forever

popping back in to say i was right about the memory loss (i stopped in the last few eps cause i was tired lol)

i hate memory loss tropes btw // her memories better come back

did lady war just off danyin?? // misdirect

after i was done i had some last words to say

the ending wasnt bad exactly, plot wise, but i missed the light hearted tone of the show in the last six episodes and also why do we get more fluff in the middle than at the end??

all i wanted was to see them getting married and sitting on the moon throne as king and queen

and not a single jielie/shangque kiss?? we were ROBBED

And that's it folks!! Overall a very fun and enjoyable experience, would recommend!

#loooooooooooong post #gf originals #love between fairy and devil #lbfad #lbfad commentary #langhua #changheng #danyin #dongfang qingcang #i posted this for that one person that liked and reblogged the first two parts recently and reminded me i still had to post the last one #thanks bestie

[thegoldenavenger]

I just want u to know I've followed u for So Long even when I dropped out of marvel fandom and seeing scum villain stuff cross my dash from u almost gave me a heart attack but LET ME TELL YOU there's nothing better than an old fandom user suddenly hyperfixating on YOUR current hyperfixation and especially when it involves feelings about liu fucking qingge. Sing me every song of liushen and WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN u beautiful person <3

Ah ah!!!!! Ahhhhhhh

I'm glad you get this experience... everytime one of my old fandom follows and/or mutuals starts posting something I currently love after years of being in orbital drift I get like +300 points

Liu qingge makes me so uhh feral. I'm so surprised too I don't think he really lines up with my Type of character fixation but he's filling my head up SO SO much....

Have I talked??? About shen qingqiu saving liu qingge and his whole plan starts and ends at "someone who can help save me" (because he doesn't see these people as people yet, they're still just characters and he's a Hella unreliable narrator who bends over backwards not to have feelings wow) and liu qingge DOES! HE DOES HIS BEST he helps clear shen qingqiu's meridians, whenever shen qingqiu calls for him he SHOWS UP [sobs] like, liu qingge transforms from a tragic noble warrior who died before his time, for a story that has no place for him, someone who exists entirely for his sister (he's beautiful because his sister needs to be beautiful he's powerful so his sister can be powerful, he's killed off so his sister has motivation (LOVE that liu qingge is the dead woman trope btw) his death is placed at the hands of shen qingqiu so his sister can kick off the story's arc....) who's chronological first act in the story is pointing out the protagonist, whom he is always compared to! To a man desperately (unknowingly) trying to find his place in a story that has no room for him.

His sister doesn't need him for motivation any longer because Luo binghe isn't interested in her. He no longer serves the narrative purpose he was supposed to have. And he can't even serve the narrative purpose he's trying to fill because there is simply no room.... in the story. For him.

He's not anyone's fated soul mate, he no longer has a narrative purpose, he isn't a lead, he isn't a love interest. The things he does do... he finds shen qingqiu's fans, he clears shen qingqiu's meridians, he flies shen qingqiu around, he spends years fighting against a demon lord to retrieve shen qingqiu's body but like.... you could cut those pieces out pretty easily. From the story. Because he's not supposed to be there.

#kamchats #the thing his presence DOES do #is make it so yue qingyuan doesnt throw himself onto luo binghe's sword for no reason #like im pretty sure if lqg was still dead at that point yqy probably would have uh come out worse #and dont get me started about how thats uh. #thats probably the one thing original shen qingqiu would have appreciated more than anything else wtf??? #im so sad hoo hoo #sqq keeps calling lbg the protag #but lqg is the one who is pulled after sqq bc #narrtivelt speaking... sqq is the protagonist in lqg story.......... #lqg story centers around sqq now.... bc lqg wouldnt HAVE a story without sqq saving him #please helpme im so emotional

[vermillioncrown]

for SOME reason i cant stop thinking about zyx in svsss..... jfnskfir the thought of zyx being transmigrated into wife #346 or smthn.... but when bingge fulfills the wife plot zyx just goes. um. thanks i guess. peace out. bingge: shocked pikachu face

there's already a fic like that, i think? except it starts out pre-abyss

if that's the case, as wife i of n (n = 600? 6000??) she's living a humble life far from the main pidw plot. even when hate-reading, she never paid attention to the wife of the week, esp post-sqq. doesn't realize where exactly she's transmigrated into (just thinks it's some reincarnation glitch).

huh. the world's a bit... contrived? there's a lot of odd drama that happens.

likely, wife!zyx is a minor cultivator/princess/whatever bullshit that lures bingge in like whatever shitty metaphor. it's a comfortable enough life. silver spoon in mouth, for once. so good looking and talented, enough to cause her severe cognitive dissonance if wife!zyx thinks too much about it

anyways, life and its dramas aren't hard to deal with. and then one day, it becomes something so big that she can't deal with it. fucking left field. but it's okay, she's set up for life - if she could deal with all the other crises of her previous life with less than half the sociopolitical standing and other advantages of this life, this should be nothing, right?

some fucking asshole starts getting involved. suspiciously solicitous, eerily handsome, perfectly positioned. a young lord or whatever. and wife!zyx is rightfully paranoid, okay? everyone in this new life is... so... trusting? so? there's not the right word for it, but their mannerisms are so weird, beyond the excusable limits of culture and old-timey shit or whatever. they are fucking weird. hivemind shit. wife!zyx feels like they'll all turn to her in unison like some horror film if she proves that she has more than five braincells.

so she's not charmed by this mysterious, helpful stranger. or she tries not to be - she isn't inured to the fantasies of a shojo romance (this part of her is hidden deep, only to be revealed as a deathbed secret if at all), but things like this don't happen to her. in fact, the more perfect and charming the stranger is, the more creeped out she is.

this handsome rogue helps save her family and their standing, elevates her to a better position than before, asks nothing in return (at least with his words).

wife!zyx isn't a completely rude bitch. "... may i know the true name of this selfless hero?"

"guniang, your words are too kind." he leans in closer, as if ready to share some intimate secret. "this lord will answer - guniang may know this lord as luo binghe."

(wife!zyx: cough what? the fuck kinda fucking chuuni name is that?!)

"... lord luo, then." awkward silence as wife!zyx mulls over the situation. "well, should lord luo require safe passage, or sanctuary in these parts, he may always call upon this one and her family."

(bingge is ???? it's not like he's been pushing for it, but by this point, whatever damsel he just rescued would be more or less insisting "oh, let this one repay lord luo's kindness in full~" and this woman is looking at him like one would stare at a strange figure in the woods)

"doubtlessly, lord luo is a busy man on an important journey, let this one provide supplies." and she just gently ushers him outta there

bingge goes through a few more wife plots. all is normal. and that just highlights the anomalous encounter with wife!zyx.

maybe it's time to visit her family's lands again. just for a friendly visit, an emperor checking in on his territory.

#zyx au's #svzyx #wife!zyx has to compute for a bit: oh fuck that was the emperor of the realms i- #wife!zyx is not really into current events #and she has the privilege to do so #wife!zyx: oh no that means LUO BINGHE- #a scream can be heard through the lands #bingge comes around #tries to get to know wife!zyx more #and she's just ahahahaha fuck i can't kick this guy in the balls bc he can physically kick ME into orbit #the only way they'd get together is if he gets rid of the harem and they go through trials and tribulations as friends #perhaps getting stuck in another dimensions and xinmo acts glitchy? #first time bingge needs to rely on actual niceties and genuine connection rather than protag charisma since that actively repels wife!zyx #wife!zyx: disGUSTANG u hoe

[thebiscuiteternal]

This is less a fic than it is a mental ramble. Maybe I’ll clean it up into something proper in the future. Featuring reincarnation and Bingge’s extremely unstable emotions.

__________

Fifty-seven years to the day of Shen Qingqiu’s death, Luo Binghe feels a pull at his senses that is still intimately familiar.

His Shizun, or, rather, the new body that his Shizun’s soul inhabits, has crossed a western border into his territory.

He is unable to name the hurricane of emotions that floods him at the realization. Jaw and hands clenched, he walks out of a meeting with some lesser lords without heeding their confused calls, barely making it out of the room before he opens a rift with Xin Mo.

The border town he arrives in is tiny and unimportant, well beneath his focus.

The two children in the street market, dressed in what are obviously long-travel clothes, are not.

The older one hands a bun from a merchant stall to the younger, then looks up, and Luo Binghe freezes when their eyes meet.

The coloring is all wrong. Skin as dark as shadows where there had once been ivory. Hair the pale color of clouds where there had once been ink. Even the eyes are a reversal, glowing faintly in the color of blood instead of cold jade. 

And yet the face staring back at him is unmistakable, is an exact match to the slave child he had ripped from his Shizun’s memories in the water prison.

The younger child nervously edges closer to -his brother?- the older, inadvertently drawing his attention, and he realizes he knows that one’s face as well.

‘Together again,’ he thinks bitterly.

Something must show in his expression, because the older child growls, pulling the younger behind him and puffing himself up like an angry cat.

Luo Binghe finds himself bristling in return. Who is this brat, daring to pretend to be a protector of someone weaker, when he knows the monster that really lurks behind that glare? His hand tightens on the hilt of Xin Mo, but before he can raise the sword, he finds himself nearly knocked off his feet by a blast of air pressure accompanied by a horrible shrieking sound that leaves him feeling like his head has been clamped.

When his vision clears, there is a woman standing in front of the children, her coloring and clothing a match to theirs.

“That boy,” he snarls. “The soul inside him still belongs to me.”

“I birth both brats,” she snaps back, her speech stilted and her accent unfamiliar. “Take claim you think you have and go fuck you.”

Rage floods him at her defiance.

How dare she?

The first screaming shockwave hits him before the second step, but this time he is better prepared and lashes back with a wave of demonic qi. He’ll cut her throat and take her tongue, he thinks. See how well she fights without-

“MAMA!”

Anguished howls in two small voices cut through the haze in his head and stop him in his tracks. He stares as the children fling themselves at the wounded woman, the elder’s hands already glowing in an extremely rudimentary healing spell.

In the back of his mind, he hears a different voice sobbing in heartbreak and, for the briefest moment, the memory of an old washerwoman replaces the injured stranger in his mind.

Breathing heavily, his mind once more in a whirl of emotions he can’t even begin to sort out, he opens another portal and leaves.

He still hears the screaming in his head.

---

It takes weeks before he can pull himself together enough to revisit the issue without the storm taking him over, and even then, he only feels safe watching them from afar.

It’s laughable, the way he finds himself relying on trinkets and talismans to pry, but it works.

‘Yangir’, this new Shizun is named, giving him his first clue into where they have come from. ‘Batu’, the woman calls the smaller child. They dutifully accompany her while she studies and catalogs plants, running ahead or climbing above to gather what she can’t reach due to the injuries he left her.

He refuses to let himself feel guilty, but it stings something in his heart all the same every time she hisses or protects her ribs.

Yangir lives up to his name, leaping up mountainsides and cliffs with all the nimble speed of any actual mountain goat. He purposely takes more difficult routes, apparently for the sheer fun of it, if his grin when his mother yells up at him is any indication.

He is a vicious little monster, too, and for a brief time, Luo Binghe feels a spiteful satisfaction to see a sign that for all his hardships in his previous life, his Shizun had always had a rotten core.

At least until it becomes apparent that the venom is reserved for legitimate reasons. A slaver patting his brother on the head. A lecherous man swatting his mother’s thigh. Little Yangir’s claws and fangs only come out for those who have earned them, and the rest of the time, he is content to spoil his brother... and even some of the street children who have begun congregating whenever they return to town, though he always treats that as a grudging annoyance.

It doesn’t... make sense.

It doesn’t.

Where was this kindness before? Where was this-

Turning away from the mirror with talismans wrapped around the handle, Luo Binghe opens a portal back to the border town.

Little Yangir hisses at the sight of him. “You touch brother, I kill you.”

Ah. They misunderstood which soul he had intended.

Though, honestly, he would kill Yue Qingyuan a thousand more times if it meant-

He forcibly shakes off that thought and keeps a placid smile on his face. “There’s no need for that. I only want to talk.”

[borealiszero]

hello fellow victim of sv*ss. 😔🤝😔 if you're still craving The Book That Could've Been, may I recommend reading Pride is Not the Word You're Looking For on AO3? It's Shang Qinghua-centric and has Moshang but the focus is on found family, healing despite trauma, and the importance of every choice (no seriously, Every Choice Matters). Basically the premise is: what if SQH saves LBH's mom and...accidentally develops a family? It's very VERY good and it basically fixed the 2-year long itch I had about SV.

ANON IVE READ IT AND IT FUCKS SEVERELY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Its so good the writing is smooth characterisation is good plot is *chef kiss* it got soooooo many good points in it that makes me djgvsj)6/@;72#"???? Like I could go for hours how good thsi fic is it heals my brain my heart my soul some of my favourite things in it:

Shang qinghua just having anxiety-filled-hamster energy

Shang qinghua making choices that is good but he goes "this will save my life :)))" and just repress tf out of his feelings until later hes forced to process it like a Normal Human

LUO JIAHUI!!!! Shes so!!!!! SHE and i really like that she was portrayed as a young woman instead of old maid cause it ramps up the what the fuckery of being young mother that is CANONICALLY dead.

Baby Binghe!!!! Hes so cute like i melted when Baby Binghe was in the scene

These three forming bonds, and love each other and building their family together like God its my found family dream

Luo Fanlin like look at this girl, she goes peak hopping. She brawl train withLiu Qingge on daily basis. She calls An Ding peak lord "Da-Ge". She have no respects for authorities. Shes my dream girl. She also calls Mobei-Jun Da-Da-Ge like fkksskkdkdkkk

The romance between LJH and LQG i love it and when Lou Qing arrives i was like. You two made this. Holly shit youtwo made this.

Binghe being normal teenager with almost no trauma and having supports!!! Like HELL YEAH

The healing relationship between SQQ and YQY like yeah its not SQH place to say it but fuck. He could ve lost that chance forever

Shen Yuan's arrival???? Like bro ndjdbdnhshsn thats a good use of System, like thats a good use of props that exist in it. Making users background stick to someone else

Moshang. Enough said.

CONTINUITY!!!!! CONTINUITY EXIST!!!!! CHOICES WERE MADE AND OH BOY YOU WILL SEE THE CONSEQUENCES !!!!

The ocs are so good they weren't one time use! Have personalities!!! The HHP duo and the three disciples of An Ding are so good muah

The HHP basement arc, like BRO

The conclusion ?? Make sense???? TLJ and SXY receiving justice!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHH

LBH stating that LJH is his mother, and no one can refute that statement ever *sobs*

Okay i have to stop before this gets too long but best fanfic ive ever read. 10/10 i feel like i owe my soul to the writer. Im gonna reread it again slowly sjsjjssjsjsjsj

#also i fear the writer cause they write like 9000-10000 a week like bro #[borealis.mail] #its everything that i want *sobs* #also the first time i tried to answer this tumblr crashed cause its toolong lmao #svsss

[elencelebrindal]

Sorry if they're too many, you don't have to answer everything! What is your fave novel of the three? Favorite/least favorite character for each one? Favorite male/female character for each one (aside from you all-time fave)? Favorite canon ship? Favorite non-canon ship? Least favorite of them (and why)? Favorite tool/weapon in the three? They're so many, sorrysorrysorry!

Don’t worry, I love answering questions! There might be some spoilers here, so... be wary of them. 

Ok, let’s go in order:

1.

My favorite novel of the three is Tian Guan Ci Fu. When I read Mo Dao Zu Shi I told myself “okay, I don’t think anything could beat this”, and then TGCF came around. I think this novel is, in general, one of my favorite books of all time. Aside from the romance part of it (which is often what people mainly focus on when it comes to MXTX), I really loved the characters and the story is absolutely incredible. I ended up getting so involved in it that I read the entire thing + the extras in three days, subsequently read what was out of the manhua in... maybe two hours? and watched the entire donghua as soon as it came on Netflix in one sitting. The only time this happened to me before TGCF was with the Silmarillion. 

This tells a lot. 

2.

Favorite SVSSS character: Luo BingHe shares his first place with Shen QingQiu.

Least favorite SVSSS character: Immortal Master Lao Gongzhu of Huan Hua Palace. I cannot even begin to explain how disgusted I was by that character, I almost never hated anyone more than him. 

Favorite MDZS character: Wei WuXian. He’s been my favorite character from the beginning. His story follows exactly one of my favorite character dynamic, much like many other favorites of mine (from good to evil to neutral/somewhat good again, even if in this case WWX didn’t actually turn evil). I’m pretty sure the same can be said of almost everyone in my favorite list... oh well.

Least favorite MDZS character: it’s a tough choice between Su She, Wen Chao, and Jin ZiXun. I just... I disliked them so much. It’s not even hate, I just didn’t want to see them on screen. Maybe Wen Chao is the worst of them... yeah, he’s the worst. I could count Jiang Cheng in my least favorites as well, but my reasons for not liking him are way too complicated so I won’t insult him so much. 

Favorite TGCF character: Hua Cheng!!!!!!!

Least favorite TGCF character: I don’t have a least favorite character. 

3. 

Favorite SVSSS male character aside from LBH and SQQ: MoBei-Jun and LiuQingGe. I’m not troubling myself with trying to choose between them.

Favorite SVSSS female character: I used to be torn between Sha HuaLing and Liu MingYan, but SHL follows my general preferences way more so she wins. 

Favorite MDZS male character aside from WWX: Wen Ning. He deserves all the love in the world. All of it. Also I really love Nie MingJue and Xiao XingChen. 

Favorite MDZS female character: Jiang Yanli (because I fell in love with her gentle personality while watching The Untamed and I can’t bear myself to stop loving her). Wen Qing is right up there with her.

Favorite TGCF male character aside from HC: well, first of all Xie Lian. Second of all, Bai WuXiang and He Xuan.

Favorite TGCF female character: Ling Wen, but only because I don’t count Shi QingXuan as a fully fledged female (I am too in love with both forms to choose one side, sorry guys). 

4. (they’re all going to be the main ones, lol)

Favorite canon SVSSS ship: Shen QingQiu x Luo BingHe, though... MoBei-Jun x Shang QingHua is a really close second. 

Least favorite canon SVSSS ship: I don’t think I have one? I mean, there’s not much material to examine when it comes to canon pairings.

Favorite canon MDZS ship: Wei WuXian x Lan Wangji.

Least favorite canon MDZS ship: it’s not really a ship (I think, maybe it’s just me?) but whatever they tried to do with Jiang Cheng and Wen Qing in the drama doesn’t sit right with me. For reasons that are a bit more complicated than it seems, and that would need me explaining my opinion about JC first. 

Favorite canon TGCF ship: Hualian! Hualian! Hualian! Hua Cheng x Xie Lian is one of my all time favorite ships, in general. I stand by the statement “Hualian invented love”. 

Least favorite canon TGCF ship: that weird bullshit the mortal realm like to do with Shi QingXuan and Shi Wudu. Poor guys. It’s canon only because their perverted followers say so. 

5.

Favorite non-canon SVSSS ship: I don’t think I have one...? Maybe ZhuZhi-Lang and TianLang-Jun, but I’m still way too confused about that. I know people ship a lot Liu QingGe and Shen QingQiu, but I never saw the appeal of it.

Least favorite non-canon SVSSS ship: again, don’t have one, mostly because I never delved too deeply in the world of non-canon SVSSS ships. 

Favorite non-canon MDZS ship: Xiao XingChen x Song Lan. It’s probably the pairing that makes the most sense (to me) out of everyone else. And it’s heartbreaking, so bonus points for that. 

Least favorite non-canon MDZS ship: Xiao XingChen x Xue Yang. [heavy spoiler alert] I absolutely HATE this pairing. I love Xue Yang, he’s an amazing villain, but this pairing is straight up abuse, no matter how you look at it. I am a sucker for angsty shit, but I really draw the line at the fucked up pairing that is this one. Xue Yang literally destroyed Xiao XingChen psychologically, lied to him for years, gaslighted him, forced him to kill innocent people, forced him to kill Song Lan, and then ended up ruining him so much that Xiao XingChen killed himself and destroyed his own soul. 

I have no idea why people love this pairing so much, but I genuinely hate it. There’s nothing redeeming about it. 

Another ship I don’t like is Jiang Cheng x Lan XiChen, but once again this has more convoluted reasons that revolve around JC, mainly. There’s also Lan XiChen x Jin GuangYao. Please, no. I really don’t like it. 

Favorite non-canon TGCF ship: Pei Ming x Shi Wudu and He Xuan x Shi QingXuan. We all know why beefleaf is important in our hearts, so let me explain something about Pei Ming and Shi Wudu; this pairing doesn’t mean I completely disregard everything else about Pei Ming. He’s our good old manwhore womanizer and I haven’t changed that (too much). But this pairing... in my headcanon, which is something I’m also going to write in my desperate attempt and being a good fanfic writer, Pei Ming fell in love with him so hard that he was like “okay, fine, there’s just you now, I’m done with sleeping around”. After Shi Wudu dies, Pei Ming keeps his word and doesn’t cheat on him for the reminder of his life. My own headcanon is the reason why this is my favorite non-canon ship. I stumbled into it my complete chance, but I genuinely love it. 

Least favorite non-canon TGCF ship: anything that has Xie Lian and Hua Cheng not with each other. I don’t like seeing them paired with anyone else. 

6.

Favorite SVSSS weapon/tool: Xin Mo and Xiu Ya. 

Favorite MDZS weapon/tool: Chenqing

Favorite TGCF weapon/tool: E-Ming and Fang Xin

If you want to ask anything else, feel free! My blog is mostly Saint Seiya, but I do write about other stuff if you ask me! ^ - ^

[delicioussshame]

Okay, so my plans for this one is to publish it by itself on AO3 once it’s done, which, I hope (strangled laughter) shouldn’t be in a year, so do what you want with that info. In the meantime, have the first part of a silly modern AU.

For fuck’s sake, there is no way that’s Luo Binghe.

Shen Yuan had a very clear idea of what Luo Binghe would look like. A white lotus like him had to be a small, shy, bespectacled young man. He’d probably sit by the wall, only daring to glance up occasionally to look for Shen Yuan anxiously.

The man who is refusing a woman’s overture for the third time cannot be him. It must be a coincidence that he’s wearing something that looks like what Luo Binghe said he would have on.

That must be it. Reassured, Shen Yuan starts looking for the little sheep he’d taken under his wing. Could he be the guy engrossed by his phone sitting at his right? Meh, maybe, but-

“Shizun!”

Shen Yuan is instantly mortified. The nickname was cute when they were talking cultivation novels online, but here, in real life? That’s why Shen Yuan insisted on them sharing their real names: to save himself the embarrassment of being the kind of nerd who calls themselves by a fake, geeky name in public!

Then again, since he looks like that, Luo Binghe could be larping surrounded by a crowd while wearing a shirt with a naked waifu on it and still he’d get hit on, Shen Yuan bets. A face this stunning must act as a shield, making him impervious to embarrassment.

Shen Yuan is not impervious to embarrassment. He dashes to the table where, apparently, his disciple is waiting for him. “Luo Binghe.”

He almost flinches under the strength of the beaming smile he’s faced with. “Yes! Shizun! It’s good to finally meet you in person!”

It would be better if you were not calling me Shizun. “The feeling is mutual.” Kind of.

Luo Binghe pushes a paper bag in his direction. “Please accept these as a token of gratitude for your guidance. I know it’s not much, but I hope you can enjoy it anyway.”

Shen Yuan opens the bag with no small amount of trepidation, to discover half a bakery’s stock of desserts, sweets, cakes and other patisseries.

How did he know of Shen Yuan’s weaknesses?

Shen Yuan quickly closes the bag. It would be gauche to eat outside food in a café. “This really wasn’t necessary, though it all looks delicious. Where did you buy them? Did you find a good shop already?”

Luo Binghe shakes his head. “No. I made them, so if they’re subpart, I’m the only one to blame.”

Come on! This guy cooks? At this level? Shen Yuan can feed himself, but a glance was all it took to know how outclassed he was. How is he the shizun here? “I’m sure they’re delicious.” They smell like it, anyway. “So you’re already settled down enough to bake? Moving wasn’t too much of a hardship then?”

“No, everything went well. I’m ready for the term to start.”

He’d better be, since he was accepted at Tsinghua University. How did poor Luo Binghe, who grew up in a small village in the middle of nowhere, swing that, Shen Yuan doesn’t know, but he must be smart as hell. Shen Yuan himself is no slouch, having graduated from Peking University, but it took the “help and encouragement” of his parents and his parents’ many contacts.

Not that they’re here to talk college education, unless Luo Binghe is planning to have much more fun than Shen Yuan did during his own college years. “Still, I suppose that didn’t give you much time for reading.”

“I did read! I had nothing but time on the train, so I finished Shizun’s latest recommendation. As he said, the heroine was the best part. I really liked when…”

This. This is why they’re here: for Shen Yuan to coach Luo Binghe in the ways of decent online literature, stirring him away from complete trash and protecting his innocence from the worst of the worst. He’d known from the first comment Luo Binghe had posted that he was too pure for this world, and that it was his duty as the last bastion of criticism to keep him that way.

He likes to think he did pretty well. Luo Binghe took to his teachings easily. Before he knew it, Shen Yuan had an online friend always eager to get his recommendations and to discuss them with him.

Shen Yuan had thought that maybe Luo Binghe didn’t have that many friends, or that he was socially awkward, but that is very obviously not the case. He can hear the girls oh so coincidentally sitting nearby giggling and congratulating themselves that Luo Binghe hadn’t been waiting for his girlfriend, but only a friend, which meant they still had a chance!

Ha! As if! The only way Luo Binghe didn’t have a girlfriend was if he left her behind to come study here in Beijing. Shen Yuan is sure that won’t last. He’ll probably find someone as soon as school begins.

In the meantime, he might as well take it easy. Reading more books, discovering the cities, getting to know his neighbours; he should take some time to do all this before he is swarmed by his studies.

Still, this is nice. Shen Yuan isn’t the most sociable person ever, vastly preferring to remain indoor by himself to making small talk, but this is a good combination of both! He can talk books with someone who listens to him while drinking his bubble tea and nibbling on snacks. He could get used to this.

“Could I have your phone number?”

Shen Yuan shakes himself back to the conversation. “Sure, but why?” They’ve always written one another before.

“Now that I live nearby, wouldn’t this be easier?”

Shen Yuan swears by the written word, but if Luo Binghe wants to call him from time to time, he can probably deal. “Fine.”

His pupil looks too happy to have gotten a simple phone number. Maybe he really doesn’t have many friends? Aww, don’t worry, you’ll do great here, away from the hicks that couldn’t appreciate you.

“Now that I’m here, there are a few places I’d like to visit. The city had museums, theatres, libraries, everything! Would Shizun mind being my guide?”

Luo Binghe did not need to punctuate that request with puppy eyes. It was overkill. “Are you sure you want to go with me? Shouldn’t you go with friends your age, or your girlfriend?”

“Shizun isn’t old! He’s only eight years older than me! It’s perfectly acceptable!”

Now Shen Yuan feels bad. Luo Binghe might look like… what he looks like, but at eighteen, he’s barely an adult! He should be enjoying his youth instead of wasting his time with a jaded old man like Shen Yuan.

Anyway, he probably just doesn’t know enough people yet. “If you’re fine with me, then I’ll tag along.”

Shen Yuan is once again nearly blinded by the brightness of Luo Binghe’s smile. “I’ll prepare lunch! Does Shizun have favorites?”

“I’m sure anything Luo Binghe prepares will be delicious.” He has no idea, but the stuff he gave him looks like it, at least. At worst, Shen Yuan can definitely afford to pay for a nice restaurant for them both, just like he’ll be paying here.

“Shizun shouldn’t bother. I’m the one who invited him, I should be taking the check.”

There is no way rich, adult Shen Yuan is letting Luo Binghe, a college student on scholarship who just moved to one of the most expensive cities of China, pay for him. Ever. That’s not happening. “First, you did not invite me, I volunteered myself. Second, I’m older. Third, I have a job (kinda, but Luo Binghe doesn’t have to know that) and you don’t. I will be paying for all our expanses, and that’s not negotiable. It’s that or I’m leaving.” He could never live with himself if Luo Binghe had to skip a meal to afford going out with him. The mere idea leaves him queasy.

Luo Binghe frowns, displeased.

A chorus of sighs can be heard from the tables surrounding them.

Shen Yuan estimates there are at least fifteen women of all ages staring at Luo Binghe like he’s a choice morsel now.

They should leave before this degenerates.

Shen Yuan pulls at Luo Binghe. “Let’s go.”

(He valiantly ignores the hissed “Don’t touch him!” coming from a genuinely terrifying fifteen-year-old.)

Luo Binghe seems reluctant to part once they’re out. “We’re meeting Sunday at ten. Shizun can’t forget! I’ll be waiting for him!”

“Don’t worry, I won’t.” His social calendar isn’t busy enough to forget his one deliberate engagement.

_________________

Sadly, his social calendar isn’t empty. His dear parents made sure of it. Shen Yuan doesn’t quite rue the day he agreed to their conditions for funding his lifestyle, but sometimes he really wonders if the sinecure he calls his job, providing him blessed solitude and copious amount of free time, is worth suffering through the parties.

Lucky for him that the feeling is shared between all participants now.

Shen Yuan keeps his face perfectly placid as he reads a passable novel on his phone. The hero is trash, and the heroine, just as bad, but there’s a decent world being built, and he’s honestly interested in the fauna the writer created. It’s not good enough to be recommended to Luo Binghe, but few things are. Only the best for his little sheep.

No one interrupts him. They don’t dare anymore. Long gone are the times where Shen Yuan let himself be bullied. Now, he has focused his hatred of a certain character into an imitation so lifelike he’s now famous for his emotionless expression and his ability to lash out with enough venom that the wounds he leaves behind aren’t healed by their next meeting.

One does what one needs to do to survive the jungle that is the circles of Beijing high society.

His parents would weep if they could see him. “You’ll never find a wife like that,” they’d lament.

Shen Yuan doesn’t care. His two brothers are already married. He’s an uncle. His little sister is more popular than any of her siblings ever were. His parents will have all the heirs they could ever want. They don’t need him to reproduce.

There’s a commotion somewhere at his right.

Shen Yuan doesn’t bother lifting his eyes from his phone until the noise is close enough to be a nuisance. Letting none of his irritation show on his face, he looks for the cause of the disturbance in a nonchalant way that would fool no one.

His heart almost stops when he finds Luo Binghe, Sha Hualing and Xiao Gongzhu hanging off his arms like they belonged there.

What is he doing here!? This isn’t a place where his white lotus should be standing! He should still be unboxing in his apartment, not wearing this frankly obscene suit and flirting with heiresses as wealthy as they were mean!

Oh. This must be it. Shen Yuan did think Luo Binghe would get a girlfriend in no time after all. He must be here as someone’s date, and Luo Binghe being Luo Binghe, he has stolen everyone’s attention from the moment he set foot in the room.

Okay. He has terrible tastes, but whatever. No one is perfect.

Fuck, if he sees Shen Yuan and dashes over while screaming “Shizun”, he’ll ruin his new relationship! Not only will he be revealed as nowhere near as cool as he appears, but being associated with Shen Yuan isn’t a good thing. He’s made sure his disdain for this crew was well-known.

Shen Yuan tries to message Luo Binghe to warn him to stay clear, but, as expected, he doesn’t check his phone.

Fuck his parents. Shen Yuan, very ostentatiously, pretends to get an important but unpleasant message, and starts walking with a speed and certainty that cannot be interrupted.

“-Shen Yuan. Don’t bother. He’s an asshole.”

Shen Yuan doesn’t falter, but only because he’s a pro at this. So what if they’re trash-talking him to Luo Binghe? He knows better.

“I’ll have to make my own mind. Wait here?”

Luo Binghe, what the fuck? Can’t you see how obviously I’m leaving? Don’t come over!

“Hello. My name is Luo Binghe. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Shen Yuan has to answer him now. He can’t just ignore him. That would be unforgivably rude. His mother would find out, and she would never let him live it down. “Shen Yuan. I’m in a hurry, so if you would…” He’s not sure why Luo Binghe is playing along, but if he’s game to pretend they don’t know each other, that’s perfect. Shen Yuan will do the same.

The smile Luo Binghe favors him with is nothing like the one he first shown Shen Yuan, all brightness and childlike joy. This smile is, dare he say it, seductive. He smiles like he’s certain the person he’s gracing with this smile is appreciating every moment of it, as they should. “Please spare me just a moment of your time. I promise I’ll make it quick.”

It turns out Shen Yuan doesn’t know Luo Binghe at all, if he can smile like that and make it look as easy as breathing.

Shen Yuan is not enjoying this. If he had known Luo Binghe would be there tonight, they could have planned something instead of, of whatever this is. His best option right now is to leave, meet up with Luo Binghe later, explain to him his current situation, and arrange things in such a way that his disciple’s rise into power won’t be hindered by his acquaintance to Shen Yuan.

For now, that means being the jerk he pretends to be, so that Luo Binghe can be comforted instead of confronted by those women flocking to him. Shen Yuan will apologise later. “Go run back to whichever of these,” he gestures to the women, “is keeping you fed and well dressed enough to pretend to fit here. I don’t have time to waste on boy toys.” Without giving him a second look, he exits the room as fast as he can without running, inwardly mortified at what he just said.

But not fast enough to miss the mocking laughter and the elated exchanges. “He thinks Tianlang-Jun’s son is a sugar baby!”

What the fuck.

[eldritch-elrics]

svsss: journey through the mausoleum (plus, zhuzhi-lang is a himbo)

got to chapter 65 last night!

as usually i have a lot to say i guess jkdhgsds i think putting stuff under cuts makes people scroll past these posts more? but also i don’t really want to be too annoying with my Many Reactions so cuts are a good way to go

tldr: loved the mausoleum arc, big fan of tlj, communication is good, and i have a new favorite scene in the book

binghe is extra as FUCK for bringing in all those rhino pythons

so i maintain that tianlang-jun should have been foreshadowed more/is introduced too late in the story, but other than that i think he’s a really fun villain and i’m a fan

for one - he’s the only one who’s able to hurt binghe :0 harm the protagonist...

which creates some Very Good Tension

count number one of zhuzhi-lang being a himbo: trying to sacrifice himself for tlj while being threatened

“is zzl really a himbo” you ask. well, yes. is he dumb? very much so. is he nice? absolutely. is he hot? well, i have no idea. i forget if he’s described as attractive or not. but, i think he can be if he wants. does being a little bit evil negate his himbo-ness? idk! i’m sticking with my assessment

i think i have a bit of a soft spot for evil henchmen

zzl also protects sqq from the corpses <3 good for him

it’s always fun to me when the system is like “wooo yay you fixed the storyline! cut the filler!” because 1. love seeing sqq lay waste to pidw and 2. the implications?? once more i am wondering WHY is the system so interested in making pidw a better story. (and the fact that it’s still calling his adventures in this world a story.) are sqq’s adventures being written down and serialized in the real world? are we as readers supposed to believe that scum villain, as a text, is a direct result of sqq’s “editing” of pidw?

uh, back to the plot

binghe wasted spiritual energy trying to preserve the mushroom/plant body :( come on man...

i really like the whole stretch of plot when binghe’s unconscious. it’s just so tense!! really well-done in my opinion - this is the first time in a while we’ve got a sense that lbh is in danger, and sqq is also running low on energy and stuff, so they’re both in bad places and the stakes are high

PLUS the hurt-comfort of it all. sqq trying not to hurt lbh’s body :(

the whole part in the coffin!! excellent. and the convo with meng mo... sqq calling himself lbh’s shizun finally...

cuddles <3

dying at lbh’s fuckin. boner. and the system’s REACTION it’s so EXCITED i am just. holds my head in my hands. i can’t deal with this novel

the confrontation with qiu haitang and the old palace master was very cool and intense. though i have to say i’m not really a fan of either “angry unreasonable woman” or “bitter disabled person” as tropes/archtypes (especially how sqq was reacting to the palace master’s condition). and poor qiu haitang! i have no idea if there’s any way to set her mind at ease other than revealing the whole transmigration thing. i do hope she’ll turn up again and get a better ending?

so the plague city sqq callout party is once again not directly lbh’s fault! the old palace master is the one to blame!

SO ONE OF MY FAVORITE PARTS IN THE BIT I READ LAST NIGHT. is. sqq realizing that he could utilize lbh’s plot armor to his advantage. but then deciding that he doesn’t want to take that risk. doesn’t want to use lbh’s body as a prop!!!

character development :D

he’s really starting to see lbh as a person as opposed to a character! and being less selfish/survival-oriented...

man. sqq, almost beaten, lying on the ground holding binghe in his arms........ :(((

so is the implication that lbh injured/took revenge on the old palace master because the palace master was being creepy to him about his mom? it’s a bit vague but that’s my theory. weirdo old man...

speaking of people lbh killed. maybe it will be revealed that gongyi xiao is actually alive too :( i’m still salty about that

SO MUCH DEMON BLOOD. poor sqq

so i don’t think i got how sqq was able to free himself from zzl’s blood manipulation? was it because binghe woke up and subdued it?

binghe waking up was a lil deus-ex-machina-y lol i would have liked to see some sort of trigger for it (even a cheesy one). like i get why he’s ok and no longer hurt (protagonist powers!) but like, gimme a reason for the shift to happen at that precise moment...

but AAAAAA FINALLY THEY ARE TALKING

lbh realizes how much sqq went through to save him :( and he’s so happy he didn’t get abandoned!!!! aaaaaa my poor boy

i like crybaby lbh much more than i like cold/cruel lbh lol

i do agree with sqq’s assessment though - lbh keeps doing the thing where he cries and apologizes but doesn’t actually change. he’s slowly getting better about it but that’s some development i’d like to see

so tlj.... DOESN’T want lbh’s body? i stg his motivations change every 5 minutes. that’s one other thing i don’t really like about him. is the “trying to steal lbh’s body” thing just gonna go nowhere? f...

ALSO SQQ GETTING OUTRAGED ABOUT TLJ CALLING HIMSELF MORE HANDSOME THAN BINGHE

binghe dumbass moments <3 gave him the sword...

..........zhuzhi-lang vore.......

zzl, while healing sqq’s plant arm: don’t worry i don’t want to fuck you unlike LUO BINGHE.

sqq: OKAY??? THANKS

i really hope there exists shipfic of sqq and zzl. like i don’t ship them at all but they just get into so many Situations that i cannot help but think about it. like it would make a funny crack premise

you know what? sqq deserves his own harem. it could consist of lbh, lqg, sqh, zzl.....

SQQ CANNOT CATCH A BREAK. TLJ IS A FAN OF RESENTMENT OF CHUNSHAN

modern au tlj is the dad who is way way way too supportive and thinks sqq would just be a wonderful husband for his son~~

interested in tlj’s intention to unite the human and demon worlds. like on the surface it sounds like a good idea right? peace and harmony and reconciling differences and stuff. but tlj’s plan is certainly not well-thought-out, and i’m sure his intentions also skew towards a sort of “merge them so they’re both easier to rule over” thing - which i don’t think is confirmed or anything, it’s just my suspicion

both tlj and lbh have a sort of entitlement thing going on - “i’m powerful so i can do whatever i like / take for myself something i love (whether that be humans or sqq).” which is then backed up by the power the system allows them as final boss and protagonist respectfully

speaking of lbh taking whatever he wants: stop kissing sqq without asking him aaaaa!!!! we know you love him and it’s sweet but please bro

him going all that way to reunite with sqq though <3

and then zzl comes in and i just.

this scene is simply the best

the slapstick of it!!!! i wanna see it animated so bad holy shit

the scene was good when it was just “sqq hides lbh under the bedcovers and he’s having none of it” but then it just kept escalating...

sqq and zzl’s convo is so suggestive too...

zzl himbo moments again?

AND THEN TLJ WALKS IN

“no need to explain, i understand everything” OK BRO.

LIU QINGGE IS HERE <3

tlj fanboying over him a little lmao

tlj, upon realizing that lbh had been in the bed with zzl and sqq: oh, you guys were having a threesome?

i cannot deal with this. i’m gonna do some sketches from this scene it’s so funny

#my post #svsss #finn reads scum villain #svsss spoilers

[rarepears]

I surprised I’ve never read something like this but how would Luo Binghe’s mother react to PIDW?? Like, BingGe forgot to drink any of his respect women juice and then fucked the world over… she would be so disappointed with how he turned out

She would of course still love him but still be very disappointed.

It's a no brainer that Luo Binghe's mother had dead anime mom hair or whatever is the xianxia equivalent.

But now you bring an very hilarious idea into my head: Luo Binghe's mom is on her death bed, dying from illness...

And then Shen Yuan wakes up to find himself as having transmigrated into the body of a young washerwoman - young by his standards since the body is in the late 20s but solidly middle age approaching granny age by Ancient China mortal standards.

Now Shen Yuan enjoys the adventure of trying to be a single mom parenting a very naive little sheep son while also warding off lecherous men trying to pawn at his new female body.

Since Luo Binghe is a little bun, he sees his mom as "old" and fails to recognize just how beautiful she is, especially as his mom took care to hide her beauty under dirt and grime, hence why PIDW didn't mention about his mom being a hottie. Sadly for Shen Yuan, he finds out the hard way why it's so dangerous to be a good looking and presumably widowed woman.

Shen Yuan is also busy trying to instill "respect women" juice into the little sheep while he finds ways to make more money now that he's quit his job as a washerwoman (because as the young master of the Shen family, Shen Yuan can barely use a laundry machine, so don't even get started on him washing clothing by hand).

Now I gotta decide if this goes into oedipus territory where Luo Binghe gets the hots for his adoptive mom... (because every Luo Binghe loves Shen Yuan) or if a certain Luo Bingge bursts into this universe, suddenly recalling that with Xinmo, he can save his adoptive mom and ends up crushing on her... hard. And oh look, doesn't his adoptive mom act very very similar to that Luo Bingmei's shizun???

Or if this becomes Cang Qiong Sect peak lords X Shen Yuan where teacher parent meetings also double as date nights.

[it-goes-on]

There’s an elaborate bingliushen AU knocking around my head that I won’t write where

Shen Yuan and Shen Qingqiu are pop idol twins

SQQ has … just, so many issues (they were child stars! Bad things happened. As they are wont to do when your manager is an asshole and you firmly believe you’re the older sister who’s solely responsible for looking out for your younger (by ten minutes) sister

(She isn’t older, but they’re twins, who tf actually knows other than your humble author)

Anyway SQQ has unhealthy coping mechanisms galore and the weirdest relationship with the manager they picked up after their old manager … mysteriously disappeared ;) when they were in their late teens: YQY

YQY is wildly, unyieldingly in love with SQQ. He is also very quiet about it, on account of being an awkward nerd under his competent exterior and also because he is the weird horse girl to SQQ’s skittish, mean bastard horse of a personality

SY is literally just off doing her own thing most of the time when they’re not touring or getting ready to tour or recording or practicing

(She makes SQQ pretend to be her sometimes. Luo Binghe can always tell and she’s the only one)

Luo Binghe, through a series of comedic errors, becomes SY’s trainer after she gains five pounds between tours and realizes she Does Not Care enough to lose it again on her own

LBH is not a people person! She is usually a bodyguard. But when your celebrity crush of a decade asks you if you can help her diet and exercise, exercise alone together … in gyms and dance studios … her hair messy, sweaty, in her old rumpled workout sweats that no one else gets to see …

Luo Binghe is having the time of her little gay life

They don’t hook up

And then SY misses her terribly when she goes on tour again, and LBH convinces her to give a date a chance

They move in together before a month is up

Liu Qingge is a phenomenal stunt double and ends up at a lot of the awards ceremonies and mandatory parties that SY also has to attend

They’d been friendly for years (LQG has been pining for years) but they’re both introverts. They’d rather die than make an actual friendship at one of these things.

But Binghe loves to be the center of attention, threaten people who get too close to SY, and clear out a little bubble for SY to drink lazily and snark at the other attendees and chat with one or two people at a time

LQG becomes part of this bubble, for the above reasons

She and SY hit it off. She and LBH … don’t hate each other? SY doesn’t really Get their whole Deal, but they spend a lot of time together

LQG has a buzzcut and is So Fucking Butch and doesn’t wear a shirt or a bra around her house/casually. LBH and SY are Suffering. Someone help them, they’re so thirsty.

SY goes on tour again. LBH and LQG get closer, and closer, and LBH is The Way She Is, so she’s constantly insinuating that SY is into LQG, because it’s true and also because she tends to project her desires onto SY. It’s not a great life strategy but it’s a baby step toward her becoming more emotionally stable and expressive. Her therapist has a lot to say about it. Whatever.

SY comes back and oh no, LBH and LQG are so close! They don’t have dumb work schedules that keep them away for months, and a too-defensive, slavering hellhound of a sister, and they’re both So Hot, surely they’re better off together? 🥺

There are tears involved (binghe’s), and yelling (shen qingqiu), and a lot of morose staring (qingge) until someone realizes that maybe they should actually just explain big emotional concepts to the woman, formerly a child star, currently an adult idol, full-time public commodity and no-time person-in-therapy, who is missing The Potential Point

Shizun, you’ve heard of threesomes, now get ready for: a healthy, loving, mutually adoring polyamorous relationship
