I love the idea of the Washer Woman being the sensible adult in Binghe's life in the Demon Prince Binghe Au. I can see Tianlang reading him romance novels as a kid while Su Xiyan chooses books on cultivation and how to crush ones enemies. Washer woman has lectured them both on child appropriate practices more than once, Tianglang more than Su Xiyan.
Imagine young Binghe getting cursed as a puppy one day and wandering off, tired, hungry, and injured only to be rescued Qing Jing Peak Disciple Shen Yuan who nurses him back to health . Washer woman ends up being the one to retrieve the prince since she's human and not considered to be a traitor like Su Xiyan.
Afterwards, Binghe can't stop gushing about his fateful meeting with the beautiful shimei he met (Shen Yuan was so pretty he thought he was girl).
Tianlang: That's my son, not even ten and he's already found his future wife! Not only that, but a cultivator to boot! But wait, the Cang Qiong Mountain Sect despise demons and would never permit one of their own to court a demon which their love would be forbidden! Ahh this just like the plot of Love Amongst Thorns where the heroine ends riding into battle on a dragon and then diving into a volcano to save her lover, the enemy general!
Xiyan: If she is a cultivator like you say, you'll have to become strong enough to defeat the peak lords Cang Qiong Mountain sect, for they will not let her go without a fight. Of course, it's a war they want, it's a war they'll get.
Unamed Washer Woman:....
Unamed Washer Woman: Or you can just thank her for taking care of your "dog" and get to know her as friends.
BONUS: I just picture Shen Yuan being the equivalent of a Disney Princess in this AU but being completely oblivious to it. Except instead of cute woodland creatures, various monsters and other creatures are drawn to him. He is also confused as to why so many people are surprised he's a guy
NDJDHB YEAH. she's the only sense of reason
Binghe: how do I tell someone I like him..
Tlj: beg him for money and become his sugar baby. That's how I got your mother
Su xiyan: show him your strength and he won't be able to resist you
Washerwoman: how about we try something like flowers first :)
Personally I was imagining shen yuan as some wandering cultivator. Binghe's hanging out in a forest when some demon planning to kidnap the prince shows up and is immediately beaten up by the handsome man who was passing through.
Binghe: PLEASE COME HOME AND MEET MY PARENTS
Shen yuan: aww if you insist..
Shen yuan is a bit nervous but overall glad the demon prince protagonist doesn't seem to hate him. Binghe is ecstatic the nice man agreed to have a meeting with his parents to discuss marriage ..
Shen yuan actually gets hired to be binghes tutor. Binghe needs to work on his human cultivation as well as his demonic cultivation, and while su xiyan would be happy to be her sons shizun, she's getting so damn annoyed with binghe bringing shen yuan up every two seconds

Okay not to be that person but does it not KILL you to see the reaction of Shen Yuanās family to his death? Like this keeps me awake at three am and haunts me when I am alone
What do you mean MAYBE Shen yuan died alone in his living room and wasnāt found by anyone until days had passed because he didnāt talk much to his family anyway? His younger sister coming into their house to find her brother and yell at him for ignoring her text messages for weeks but secretly she feels just so guilty for not checking up on him.
So sheās on her way with some takeaway and a lecture sheās repeated in her mind the entire elevator ride. She puts her key into his door, a key she has and her brothers have and their parents have but only she ever uses. It hurts her a little that their family never visits yuan-ge but then he just keeps getting sick
She enters and the first thing she smells is this horrible-horrible smell of a corpse that makes her immediately want to retch. I really donāt know how to describe it but just imagine a sister seeing her dead brother rotting before her eyes
Shen yuan must have been dead for at least three days. Shen yuan was dead for three days before his family found out. Shen yuan, even in death, was alone as he was in life. Immediately she dials her brothers and parents and the rest is history
This breaks her, because she keeps recalling the last text Shen yuan had sent asking her to visit and she keeps believing that if she had visited, her brother would be alive
Shen yuanās brothers whom I imagine to be based on SJ and YQL respectively are no less aggrieved. Er-ge shuts himself off in his office and gets even more cruel to his employees. Deep down, he resented SY for how easily he got attention, how he wrapped everyone around his finger, how he could be hooked on an IV everyday but still smile, how even though life was always cruel to him, he was always kind to life. Most of all, he hated just how easy his brother was to love and hurt and ignore and still love back
He doesnāt attend the funeral, the entire family scorns him for it, saying he doesnāt love SY but the truth is, he wouldnāt have survived seeing the body of his brother so cold
Da-ge is raked with guilt. As the oldest, he always took care of SY, his sister and brother are too young to remember but he remembers how weak SY was when he was born. He and SY had a terrible falling out over SY wanting to live alone, as a result he never visited his baby brotherās apartment. Funny, the first time he visits It is to pack it up in wake of his brotherās death
No one in the family gets over the fact SY was dead for three days before they noticed. They all resent each other for it. But most of all, they resent themselves for it.
Preaching to the choir, but I love that there's no wrong configuration for Shen Yuan and Shen Jiu. The fact that canon leaves virtually all doors open for pretty much any AU to be valid only helps.
Fully two separate people, separate souls, of separate dimensions with no connection whatsoever? We can work with that.
The same soul, in separate phases of the reincarnation cycle? The same soul in a weird hiccup in the reincarnation cycle so that they are exactly the same person, coexisting as one? Excellent.
They can be parent and child. Which is the parent, which is the child? Whatever you fancy this fine afternoon!
They can be brothers, of course, easy. Which is older? Whichever you want! Twins? Naturally!
Martial shidi? Same peak? Different peaks? Well, now they're kissing.

Superstar Luo Binghe au. All the directors beg him to be in their movies because his fame will immediately assure success for anything they make. Heās handsome, charming, dedicated, and most of all, extremely talented. He even does his own stunts!! Women love him, and men who say they hate him will still watch his movies so they can figure out how to be more like him.Ā
The only weird thing about Binghe as an actor is that he refuses to star in romantic films. He wonāt kiss anyone, wonāt pretend to date someone on screen, wonāt even let another actor take over his role for the scenes he doesnāt want to do. His reason? Heās completely loyal to his husband.
Everyone thinks itās stupid, obviously. You arenāt ācheatingā by pretending to love someone else, itās literally your job! Luo Binghe still refuses and says even heās not good enough an actor to make anyone believe he could ever love someone other than Yuan-ge.
His fans hate this mysterious Yuan-ge. Because of his (probably insecure and jealous) spouse, all of Bingheās fangirls cant see him sweep some y/n character off their feet. Itās even worse because they donāt know anything about this guy. Whenever someone asks to see or learn about Bingheās husband, the star says heāll never reveal Yuan-ge to the public, because heās too beautiful and he doesnāt want everyone falling in love with him.Ā
People kind of run with the idea that obviously this guy must be a total weirdo who Binghe is embarrassed to be seen with. That has to be the explanation, because no matter how perfect someone is, how can they have such a chokehold on THE LUO BINGHE??
Then, one day, years after Luo Bingheās initial rise to fameā¦. He goes on a talkshow. With his husband Shen Yuan.Ā
Obviously EVERYONE tunes in. No one uses TVs anymore bc of the internet, but just for this show, viewer ratings are the highest theyve ever been. Everyone wants to know what the fuss is all about with this guy to have Luo Binghe so down horrible.Ā
And Shen Yuan isnāt a weirdo. Heās also not some pretty yesman. He makes jokes that make the audience burst into laughter. Heās opinionated, which is really refreshing when every other celebrity stays neutral on every topic to avoid losing fans. Heās polite, but heās not a pushover. Heās likeable, but heās not a try-hard about it. Referencing memes makes him an instant hit with the younger generations, and the calm gentle way he talks makes him a hit with the older ones. All of a sudden everyone is going, okay we see why Luo Binghe is obsessed with him.Ā
Except⦠while shen yuan was making jokes and charming everyone, Luo Binghe was at his side, pathetically pawing at his husband for attention. The actor keeps whining every two minutes to be reassured yuan-ge still likes him. Whenever Shen Yuan compliments the host, Binghe looks like heās about to cry. Whenever Luo Binghe jealously wraps his arms around shen Yuan everyone watching just rolls their eyes.Ā Seeing them together people realize⦠shen yuan is the one thatās out of Luo Bingheās league.
In just one hour public opinion goes from āno one can be worth binghe acting like that forā to āluo binghe is so annoying, let shen yuan talk!!āĀ
The next day someone finds shen yuanās twitter and it blows up. He has his own fan pages now. Thereās no pictures of him online other than the footage from the talkshow, so the fan accounts just post that over and over again. Shen yuan retweets a post about him with the caption āi never realized she was holding a plate of corn in this sceneā and everyone loses their mind. Everything he says immediately goes viral bc thatās luo bingheās attic wife.
People start nagging Binghe to post about Shen Yuan bc theyre so attached after his one and only publicized appearance. Binghe is super possessive, but yuan-ge tells him not to worry, so he relents and posts pictures of him and shen yuan on vacation. Theyāre together, holding hands⦠but shen yuanās face and body are blurred out. Itās HORRIFYING. He looks like an eldritch monster bc luo binghe refuses to let anyone look at his yuan-ge in a swim suit, go away you perverts!! His instragram is now just full of pics of shen yuan where his eyes are blacked out so noone else can see how pretty they are. Itās nightmare fuel
Shen Yuan is unfortunately too unbothered to post pictures of himself. Everyoneās tired of Luo Binghe for āhogging shen yuan all to himselfā when Shen Yuan is practically an internet celebrity now.Ā
People go to watch movies and their theatre conversations sound like this:
āOh, Luo Bingheās in this one!ā
āWho?ā
āYou know Shen Yuanās annoying husband?ā
āOH THAT GUY..ā
I've talked about it before but we need more beast keeping peak shen yuan au where he is as terrifying as he is sweet.
I want him to take a bunch of juniors on a night hunt and see a little fluffy animal and go "listen up, that's an invasive species! Whenever we see these we have to do this-" and then he traumatizes them by reducing it to a bloody mess.
He sees a hungry cub whining helplessly and goes oh poor thing I'll find you some food... then he returns covered in gore and drops dripping raw meat in front of it. He looks at his fellow disciples and says "what? It's carnivorous."
Older disciples LOVE watching new students follow shen yuan around like lovestruck ducklings when they first join the peak... then they go on a mission together and come back shaking going "what the fuck was that." It's a rite of passage
