Shen Yuan - Blog Posts

Man, svsss is actually terrifying if you take away the humor and actually acknowledge what's actually happening

Like tbh I understand why sy was scared that lbh would still get revenge even after he was nice. All the other major plot lines had been happening. There were things he couldn't change, who was to say that lbh's revenge wasn't one of them

Also I don't think I'd be able to think straight if a god if some sorts played with my life, making me run around like a mouse in a maze to live. That actually terrifying. Then what happened when he failed a mission. Like, what. I'd be terrified. Sure, death was always a threat but actually experiencey arm getting ripped off??? I'd be scared out of my mind to fail missions.

Don't even get me started on the occ point reductions. Imagine being ever so slightly pushed to death because you smiled at a kid.

Sqq was either not fully registering what was going on or was not all mental alright to be as calm as he was. I'd have broken so quickly under that. Sqq deserves to be a bit insane

Edit: reread the system punishment bit and Shen Qingqiu also got his leg ripped off right before the system took him out

Look, SY wife-beaming everyone is amazing and all but how about him just Mom-beaming everyone. I don't mean both, I mean just becoming a mother figure to random people/people he barely knows, no romantic feelings (at least in most cases).

He probably feels like it isn't much but I can definitely see him comforting his fellow sect members/peak lords and it actually sticks with them. I especially imagine it for (platonic) cumplane, EX:

Sqh: it's my fault... everyone's suffering is all my fault. How can I even face anyone... I'm a terrible person

Sqq: Tolkien is scum

Sqh: What?! No, what are you talking about it? How is that even relevant???

Sqq: Shakespeare too

Sqh: I- I mean I guess I could believe that- wait! No, answer my questions! What are you talking about?

Sqq: Really most authors are

Sqh: Hey! What's that supposed to mean?

Sqq: Well according to your logic

Sqh: I didn't say any of that

Sqq: You're blaming yourself just for writing tragedy

Sqh: Yeah, but mines real

Sqq: Who's to say any other authors works aren't real?

Sqh: I... I mean I guess but-

Sqq: You were just writing, you weren't meaning to hurt anyone. This never was supposed to be real. Its not something you have the weight in to prosecute yourself. You just wrote fiction and if that's so wrong then everyone who ever wrote any form of tragedy are terrible scum. That's not something you get to be the judge of.

Sqh: bro...

And then sqq just freaking leaves to go do something

Lesbingqiu but they are both Trans and transition/come out during lbh abyss years

I feel like Shen Qingqiu would have to have already come to the realization in her past life for this to work. Mostly because I feel like it would be something she would take a long time to except (based off the internalized homophobia).

SQQ would probably transition during lbh's time in the abyss because she thinks she only has a few years left and she might as well spend them as her true self

Lbh figures it out in the abyss because she probably meets some Trans demons and finally has a definition/known source of her feelings

Anyway I think their reunion would go a lot differently and would be kinda funny because neither one knows the other transitioned/is trans

I need more Shen family fics

Not Shen twins, or SY being SJ's son, none of that (though I still love those au's). I need fics about Shen Yuan's family from his past life

I absolutely love fics that do that

Especially when they portray Shen Yuan and his siblings (and how they effected him, even as SQQ)

Did Shen Yuan learn to braid hair for his little sister? Did one of his older brothers teach him how to do a good poker face? Did they all hang out? How did they fight? How did they bond? What were core memories that they share? Did their parents have a favorite? Who was Shen Yuan closest to?

How did they each react to his death?

Do they miss him?

Crappy comic adaptation, let's go

I headcanon that sometimes certain things will trigger very vivid flashbacks to Shen Qingqiu's (Shen Yuan's) past world.

One second he's navigating an unusually dense crowd of people during some kind of festival; the next second hes walking in a big city (we'll say Shanghai just bc) with all the lights and the people

He descending the stairs in a stone tower (probably some investigation about people in a nearby village going missing) and the next thing he knows he's in the stairwell in his apartment because the elevator broke

He splashes water on his face one morning and for a second he's back in his apartment's bathroom. His vision blury because he doesn't have his glasses, not just because he has water in his eyes

One day he's getting lectured about without a cure by Mu Qingfang, he blinks and his martial brother is suddenly a modern doctor (yes I head cannon sy as having a clinical illness like most of the fandom)

He's pouring over documents and paperwork with Binghe and suddenly he's studying for exams (or doing hw) with his college roommate

I think a lot about this

Adding the fact that Shen Yuan was a rich kid plus the fact that he thinks that running a peak, teaching disciples and going on missions is just lazing around then I wouldn't be surprised if he did some find of sport

Ok, here me out, a lot of rich kids tend to do a whole bunch of extra circulars (trust me, I went to a school filled with trust fund kids) and Shen Yuan considers himself lazy despite very clearly doing a lot. So, he probably got that notion because in his first life he had a jammed pack schedule and uses that as a comparison.

So with this in mind he probably has a bunch of skills, one of those being some form of sport.

Anyway, flash forward to some time post cannon and a wife plot happens. In the original PIDW it was a excuse for a sport episode (or character(s) in this case) with future wives and current wives to wear short clothes and run around. It's probably written because it a fan favorite trope in media and will mist likely bring in a bigger audience (SY can be heard cursing airplane for unoriginalty, contradictions and historical inaccuracy). We'll just say that some kingdom/demon royal family decided instead of violence (because who could ever beat Bingge in a fight?) to use a sports tournament as a way to decide who get to rule.

Well, when this happens in svsss Shen Qingqiu ends up roped into this (ahh, the curse to be a love interest) and just absolutely destroys everyone at off brand tennis (and/or other rich people sports). Luo Binghe would also be destroying people at literally any of the games but he's too busy trying to not lose it over SQQ's (previously stated) short clothing, pulled tightly up hair and skill

Au where SY get transmigrated into one of those ball joint mannequin dolls

Ik they probably didn't exist back then (most xianxia books take place around the song dynasty from what I've read) but we'll just say that airplane didn't know that when writing Cang Qiong Mountain

Anyway, since one of the things CQM specializes in is arts what if they used those mannequin dolls for references.

Luo Binghe probably wasn't given a new one like most ones but rather one that a missing hand or arm (most of his art supplies was probably broken or used)

Shen Yuan probably lost the limb by falling off a table, absolutely taken aback that he's a literal freaking doll

Well one day Binghe gets back from some punishment a bottle of medicine is rolled to him by his mannequin. He probably freaks out at first but decides not to look a gift horse in the mouth. Besides, his possessed reference doll is being kinder then anyone else on the sect.

Shen Yuan would have helped a lot sooner but he's small and that medicine was hard to get on his own.

Luo Binghe ends up taking a great liking to his possessed mannequin. The soul that inhabitants it is very nice to him and his sharp wit is endearing. One day while LBH is trying to practice his cultivation SY stops him, saying that his form is incorrect and models what he should be doing (actually being a refrance like the object he inhabitants original purpose). LBH actually ends up correcting a lot of his cultivation and has a healthy base.

Shen Yuan is trying to be helpful so he won't be thrown away or be given over to someone to get a exorcism

LBH plans to try and get a better body for SY to inhabit but in the meantime he learns how to make/take care of dolls/mannequins. He ends up fixing SY's missing body part and probably paints a face or give poor SY some clothes

For some extra angst maybe MQ notices LBH talking to the doll and deciding to break it. SY probably doesn't get fully broken (or maybe he does, you decide) but LBH loses it and gets into a altercation with MQ. I actually think considering his background SJ would hate when people break stuff like it was nothing so MQ would probably get a actually punishment. LBH also gets punished just not as bad (still pretty bad though, just less). Though LBH doesn't really cares and rather try and fix the only person who deeply cares about him. He probably spins every night working on fixing SY. He lags behind because he isn't sleeping properly and ends up getting punished more.

I feel like this could have already been said because it just seems so obvious but I haven't found any post like this.

What if Shen Yuan and Shen Jiu just swapped.

We know that Shen Jiu had a terrible qi deviation that lead to him essentially dying. This is what aloud Shen Yuan's soul to replace him. Though couldn't that technically mean that the same could have happened for Shen Jiu but with Shen Yuan's body.

Just a thought.

Someone out there probably already had this idea but what if Shen Yuan and Shang Qinghua knew each other outside of the internet in their past life.

What if they were high-school friends that lost touch after graduation. What if they were collage dormmates (or classmates) but sqh dropped out and sy never saw him again. What if they were childhood friends but because of sqh's parents separating they never saw each other until the next life (not including online but they didn't know it was the other).

I can definitely see them bonding in hs over a crappy teacher and their web novel tastes

Hey, so, what if their was a third transmigrator but they got a character that was just so out there that they never found about the other two well into post cannon

Imagine a avid reader of PIDW, (heck maybe they'd beta read for airplane or translate it to a different language (probably English)) dies and ends up as one of the wives. The only catch is that this wife lives far away from the main plot. Maybe she's a ruler of some small kingdom of the PIDW world that Bingge wives up so that he can own every conner of land (that mentioned in PIDW, I'm not diving into the concept of weather that includes the entire world (ex. All of aisa, Europe, the America's, ect)). She wakes up and knows that one day her kingdom will belong to Binghe and that she'll be thrown into a harem, forgotten. So she trys to ignore the impending doom but it still claws at her stomach at night.

Once the year comes that it's supposed to happen she's a nervous wreck. Nothing happens. Well, that's just a miscalculation, airplane never was consistent. More years past and still nothing. Something must have gone wrong, though it means she can still hold power and not marry a stranger, she'll take it. In the meantime she uses her modern knowledge to improve her kingdom.

Skip back to Sqq and Lbh who decided to do a bit of traveling. Sqq probably wanted to see some of the PIDW world and Lbh, being the loving husband he is, picked up on this. So they decide to travel and eventually come to a small kingdom by the coast. It's a lovely kingdom and seems to be thriving. Sqq vaguely remembers this kingdom from PIDW but something is different. The way things are run, the laws, some of their inventions... they all seem so modern. That can't be right, this isn't how it was written???

Cut back to our third transmigrator and she's freaking out. Why? Well she just saw Binghe! But where's his military powers? Sure he's strong but- IS THAT THE SCUM VILLAN????!!!!

Might post more about this later

(Ignore the fact that she low-key looks like sqh in the low effort drawing I did, I'll post a real design later)

Sqq definitely has the most vile insults to man. He's been an avid internet hater, of course he is.

Though you have to understand that he is an internet hater in a xianxia world, with knowledge about a lot of people, information that he shouldn't know (but does because of reading pidw)

It would be absolute chaos l

Ransom heckler that just so happens to have been important in a wife plot: You're disguising, marrying a demon of all things!

Sqq: Listen here you mouth breathing, paste eating, pointless cannon fodder. Your existence would be more useful as a stain on bed sheets. You are so pathetic that you shouldn't have the right to speak, let alone talk about my marriage. This nonsensical spew that comes from your mouth is why you can't hold a meaningful relationship with you daughter. You dare even speak about my marriage when you can't even keep one for more then a year.

Binghe who was just going to murder the guy:

Shen Yuan trying to convince himself he's still straight (Shang Qinghua is not impressed)

Runs into room

Shang Qinghua and Shen Qingqiu probably talk to each other really informally and share "private" information about their lives. They obviously do this because that's just modern culture... but it freaks everyone else out

Jumps out of window, Shen Qingqiu style

I headcanon that sometimes certain things will trigger very vivid flashbacks to Shen Qingqiu's (Shen Yuan's) past world.

One second he's navigating an unusually dense crowd of people during some kind of festival; the next second hes walking in a big city (we'll say Shanghai just bc) with all the lights and the people

He descending the stairs in a stone tower (probably some investigation about people in a nearby village going missing) and the next thing he knows he's in the stairwell in his apartment because the elevator broke

He splashes water on his face one morning and for a second he's back in his apartment's bathroom. His vision blury because he doesn't have his glasses, not just because he has water in his eyes

One day he's getting lectured about without a cure by Mu Qingfang, he blinks and his martial brother is suddenly a modern doctor (yes I head cannon sy as having a clinical illness like most of the fandom)

He's pouring over documents and paperwork with Binghe and suddenly he's studying for exams (or doing hw) with his college roommate

I think a lot about this

Shen twins are so Story of Evil coded

might write about this if people like it

Or at least make the drawing not suck :]

My personal favorite hc of mine is that sqq has a hard time falling asleep without lbh (he stresses about his husband's well-being/Binghe’s anxiety has rubbed off on him). This leads him to sometimes fall asleep in odd places.

Imagine Binghe finishes up what ever work he had to do earlier than expected and decides to surprise Shen Qingqiu. He shows up at Qing Jing Peak, exciting to see his husband.

He can't find him. Why? Sqq fell asleep against a tree while on a walk. Now, of course, like any reasonable person, Binghe freaks out.

So, eventually Sqq come back to an overturned peak and his husband looking like this:

Desperately in need a fic where Shen Yuan wakes up back in his old body/world to find that PIDW has changed. Like, everything that happened to him and that he changed, altered the web novel. Even better if it's a family member that tells him about it.

SY's sister: I finally read that web novel that you were ranting about

Fresh out of the hospital SY: Huh?

SY's sister: Yeah, Proud Immortal Demon Way

SY: Oh... what did you think? It's terrible right?

SY's sister: I actually liked it, not too found of the teacher student dynamic but it works. Though I'm surprised you would read a BL...

SY realizing that his life got turned into a public book: what?

SY's sister: I did think that the whole "papapa to save the world" trope at the end was ridiculous though

SY realizing that his first time was written down and open for public viewing:

Edit: I was going to write a fiction about this but ao3 took way too long to approve my account. Anyway, I don't have motivation anymore :/

I love fics that send Shen Yuan back to his world but I really want to see more angst on the initial "waking up". Like, imagine if you just spent 15 or so years of your life in another world. You were actually happy, you had friends (unlike in your past life), got over your emotional intimacy problems and found love; just for everything to stop, be gone. I know this happens to some people who were in comas, but i think it would be a little different because it was actually real.

I was listening to Girl Anachronism (great song btw) and just had the very vivid scene of Shen Yuan going through a bit of a mental break after "coming back to life". He's been living in a different time and different world. How would he even readjust to the modern world?

Anyway, here's a sketch of how I think he would be feeling :3

You can tell

From the glass on the floor

And the strings that're breaking

And I keep on breaking more

And it looks like I am shaking

But it's just the temperature

And then again

If it were any colder I could disengage

If I were any older I could act my age

But I don't think that you'd believe me

It's not the way

I'm meant to be

It's just the way

The operation made me

OMG OMG THANK YOU VERY MUCH YES!

Btw btw, someone needs to write a fic of a SVSSS x LGIEF crossover or a fic of where Miaomiao and Shen Yuan were either siblings or best friends.

Istg I need that kind of fic AHHHHHHGG ^^^^^^^^ 😍

Idk why but Shen Yuan (SVSSS) and Ling Miaomiao (LGIEF) both have some similarities to me.

Not only are they both from the modern world but they are transmigrated into famous novels. Not only that but they are in the villain/villainous's body's.

Their love interests are both half demons from a human-demon love story that both parents ended up either dead or imprisoned. (Mu Sheng from his demon mother, and Luo Binghe from his human-cultivator mother. Tianlang-jun, LBH father get imprisoned under a mountain. While Mu Shengs mother is imprisoned in under(?) the Mu Manison). Not to mention the fact that both demonic parents are on an heavenly level/grade.

However there are many differences between the characters but they are also many similarities.

However in SVSSS SY stays in the world of PIDW while Ling Miaomiao returns to the real world.

Lol I love love LOVE this analogue or analization of this :D thank you very much

Just a fun fact, SVSSS was the first BL danmei book I ever read, and LGIEF is the first CDrama I ever watched, not only that but both stories caught my attention and I loved both of them (I'm still not getting over the ending for LGEIF)

SVSSS Brainrot idea: Steven Universe x SVSSS au where Shen Jiu is Pink Diamond and Shen Yuan is Steven. That's all I got.

(Btw not really important but today's my bday :D)

SVSS Aus that I've come up with but possibly won't write yet.

Emperor of the Abyss

Focused Pair: Shen Yuan/Luo Binghe

Instead of escaping the Abyss just yet, Luo Binghe stays in the Abyss for 7 years. The extra two being of how he conquered the rest of the Abyss after gaining Xin Mo. (Xin Mo has a sentient form at times but also becomes a voice in Luo Binghe mind along with Meng Mo). After the 7 years are up he comes back into the mortal realm conquering it while being undercover as a Huan Hua disaple.

While exploring through the library, Luo Binghe finds a journal and learns about the death of his mother. He's anger at the Old Palace Master but can't do anything just yet. (Yet.)

Xin Mo is grinning at him from a mirror. A shadow like verison of himself. But more demonic. Shape fangs, shape nails, and even growing horns out of his head. The red demonic mark glows with qi.

The Ivory Mistress & The Demonic Conqueror (Heavily inspired by CRK)

(If ya know ya know ;)

Luo Binghe & Shen Yuan are reincarnations of Luo Binghe's ancestors; The Ivory Mistress Zhao Zhiyu & The Demonic Conqueror Wang Xing.

The story goes is that the Ivory Mistress lived on a mountain called the Golden Ivory Mountains. A place where life has blossomed for thousands of years. A maiden by the courtsy name of the Ivory Mistress takes care of the mountain. On a trip down the steep and narrow cliffs, the Ivory Mistress stumbles upon a injured person. The Ivory Mistress feels sympathy for the poor soul, taking them into their humble abound.

Unaware of dark red eyes following them.

Yall I need help 😭

I'm trying to find a AO3 fic where Shen Yuan/Luo Binghe transmigrated into Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian.

For more info, I think it takes place after Wei Wuxian ended Wei Ruohan life and is getting married to Lan Wangji in the process. However Shen Yuan/Luo Binghe transmigrated into their bodies before the wedding.

Thats all I remember 😭 any help or suggestions would be appreciated

EDIT: I FOUND IT (I think). https://archiveofourown.org/works/43220985/chapters/114744571

Turns out Bingqiu transmigrated into Wen Chao and Wen Zhuliu lol.

Btw Merry (Late) Christmas and Happy New Year! 👍

Im thinking Shen Yuan/Luo Binghe was inspired by Luo Shen & her spouse.

Luo Shen was the Goddess of the Luo River. The same river Luo Binghe was named after. Not only that but Luo Shen's husband was the first emperor of the three kingdom periods of China.

(Yall see the similarity?? I don't know who else made this connection).

https://www.xiangliart.com/chinese-empresses/han/empress-luo-shen/ <- Link of where I found the information

YQY is the only one that knows and that's because he has a situationship with SJ. And to the others it just looks like Shen decided to start pulling his punches and are waiting for the other shoe to drop.

If you go BingQiu route he finds out by walking in on a phone call about how frustrating Liu is, the guy not the gal, and is like, 'Wait this ISN'T the guy who makes him miserable!?!?!?'

Svsss but it's a sitcom named "Scum Landlord Self-Saving System"

All the main characters live in one building that Shen Jiu's an administrator/landord of. Everyone hates him except for Yue Qingyuan. (I gotta figure out a backstory for them).

One day, something happens and Shen Jiu have to go somewhere and asks his twin/younger brother Shen Yuan for help - he would live for a few months in the building and act as the landlord. Shen Yuan agrees.

It's not intentional for Shen Yuan to impersonate Shen Jiu - it just happens when everybody mistakes him for his brother and he's now kinda stuck with it since he's too awkward to correct them now!

During an intersect event Shen Qingqiu is poisoned. How do we know he was poisoned? Because the dumbass that did it immediately jumped from the public to gloat about it.

The CQM delegation promptly then grabbed their unluckiest peak lord and dipped back home to try and not have him die. (They also grabbed the dude that poisoned him, to get info on the poison and all that)

It's supossed to steal half of a person's lifespan; and as Shen Qingqiu has lived for a while the dude thinks it will just kill the Lord. It doesn't do that thought... It splits the Lord into two young adults, each half of Shen Qingqiu's age. They are both fucking confused and looking at the other wide eyed.

SQQ#1 blinks and ask everyone to leave. SQQ#2 just agrees when asked by the other peak lords. It's an exercise in patience to get Yue Big-Brother-Extraordinaire Qingyuan to leave his favorite shidi who suddenly multiplied. He is rabid. Overdosing on shidi.

Shen Yuan is both terrified and ecstatic to be free from SQQ's fate, but also guilty? of leaving the other to deal with it. He's 90% sure the other SQQ is the original goods.

Shen Jiu is just looking at the body-snatcher, trying to decide whether to kill the other or kidnap him to keep such a wonderful teacher for his peak. Finally, someone to deal with the brats.

SY: Well, sorry for stealing your body, my bad. I will now leave you to-

And SY gets grabbed by the scruff and forced to spill all his secrets. The system doesn't register SJ as a separate entity so they are free to converse and make plans. By the time the other peaklords (mainly YQY, QQQ, and WQW) come back for gossip the Shens are gossiping about them and sharing some little cakes with their tea. BFFs.

Oh, they are 100% roasting eachother. Don't mind them too much, they are trying to decide who gets to be the older one and thus the one in charge.

I think about these two very often

' “I hate these colors,” he says.

“Well, that’s an easy fix, isn’t it? [...] Here.” '
