[10000year-old-child]

The fanfics of Shen Jiu and Shen Yuan as siblings strongly reminds me of Shi Wudu and Shi Qingxuan from TGCF. Imagine if the reason Shen Jiu was reborn as a slave was because of his previous actions/ death as Shi Wudu and is given the worst of luck (misfortune follows him). Which is why Shen Yuan was taken from him to be raised in a softer, more comfortable world because he obviously suffered hardships at the end of his life as Shi Qingxuan.

Also if He Xuan was reborn as Luo Binghe. you know, the protagonist. who is also a heavenly demon (former ghost king, anyone?). Who has all the fortune in the world protecting him and forcing him to progress forward no matter what.

Shen Yuan becomes obsessed with Luo Binghe. he cheers him on and becomes his no. 1 fan. enjoying his progress and journey. He feels strangely connected to the character. (He wants to see him progress because the guilt of stealing his fate still lingers). Meanwhile, Luo Binghe the cold, vengeful heavenly demon who is put on the scholarly peak feels empty inside 24/7 develops an obsession with Shen Yuan almost instantly after his transmigration. An obsession that changes his entire cruel demeanor and he doesn't know why either but Shen Yuan (Shen Qingqiu) is otherworldly and perfect and he must make sure all his needs and wants are met. (He also wants to see him happy because he feels like he ruined the last good thing remaining in his previous life. He is Lowkey guilty about it)

Shen Jiu (Shi Wudu) was once offered the chance to redeem them both, bury old wounds and start over with Luo Binghe as his student. But he could never shake the uncomfortable feeling he gets from the little beast. After their last disastrous life where he dies as Shen Qingqiu in the water prison he is offered the option to return but this time give his previous younger brother the chance to try instead. While Shen Jiu would be taken some other world to start over (obviously he suffered enough) maybe he'd take his brother's place in the modern world or some other new place. He feels bitter about it but he eventually accepts it.

In a way they were all given EXACTLY what they wanted. Shi Wudu was given another chance, and obviously his brother was the safest he could possibly be as Shen Yuan, He Xuan got to be a one in a billion kind of talent with unlimited fortune, luck, strength and fate protecting him and got to have a chance at being a renewed Scholar in a cultivation sect not to mention his 3000+ wives (all the women he could protect). Shen Yuan got a break from his brother and well everyone and everything for a half lifetime, until he got to be with Luo Binghe again. Somehow it all worked out!
