I keep thinking of a Shang Qinghua who is already married. Not to a man he particularly loves or likes, but someone bearable. (Man got wife plotted)

This happens early on in his acquaintanceship with Mobei Jun, and MBJ doesn't particularly care. But the more MBJ cares gradually, the tougher it is. SQH doesn't seem particularly happy with his husband, but he has no issues with him either. Qinghua runs the household just as effectively as he runs the Northern Palace or An Ding Peak. Sometimes he takes care of the paperwork for his home while taking a break from work at the Northern Palace. He doesn't know a lot about his husband's (an older cultivator) likes or dislikes, but he makes sure to keep a steady supply of his favourite food or wine to reach their home and he gets along well enough with his in laws. He always goes home for festivals when possible.

MBJ wanting to steal away SQH, but not wanting to be the sort of demon his father was. SQH has never reciprocated his Courting blows and while he may stare at Mobei Jun's chest a lot, he never, ever makes a move. Angst, drama, the works.

Obviously nothing is fleshed out yet, but this idea has been stuck in my mind.

I'm so glad to see AO3 making it absolutely clear that none of these things are allowed to even be HINTED at.

Here's some of the language from the new post about AO3's police on commercial promotion:

It’s very important to me that, while from the outside-looking-in (for humans) Mobei Jun looks like a perfectly normal vicious and cold demon, to other demons who actually know and met him, he’s really a sensitive and kinda pathetic person who’s just betting on his social status and Shang Qinghua’s willingness to kill for him to keep up his position and power.

ming fan being disgusted with bingqiu, like utterly repulsed by it, is just so funny because he’s not homophobic about it he’s just binghe-phobic in particular lmao

like

luo binghe wasn’t a cabbage-stealer, he stole the farmer instead

mf: stay away from my mom

lbh: fuck you (figuratively) and fuck your mom (literally)

This is a legitimate and damaging cultural shift for all involved parties and it needs to be addressed.

Brand new Head Disciple Shen Jiu decides to do some breaking and entering to make sure he hasn't gotten rusty and decides that since Head Disciple Yue Qi is out on a mission- and is a coward who won't turn him in even if he catches him- he's the best target.

He's not actually going to steal anything- though if he found like, a diary containing all Yue Qi's thoughts and feelings he'd definitely read it.

He doesn't find a diary though (that's a whole separate AU idea) instead he finds- barely hidden at all!- a ton of demonic cultivation manuals and items that indicate Disciple Yue is trying really hard to bring someone back from the dead.

(There's also a bunch of really detailed drawings of Shen Jiu's face but that's a secondary issue.)

Yue Qi comes back from his mission to find Shen Jiu in his room going through his necromancy supplies.

Shen Jiu: 1) You need to hide all this better how am I supposed to blackmail you about it if you don't even hide it? 2) What the fuck are you up to???

Yue Qi: Xiao Jiu is right, this worthless one forgot to get rid of these supplies when he found out Xiao Jiu wasn't dead.

Shen Jiu: You thought I was dead and you were going to make me a weird meat puppet about it?? Wait...when did you think I was dead?

something i wanna say on shen yuan taking over shen jiu's body is that i often see mentions that while everyone knew, nobody did anything because they liked shen yuan better, and i think it's important to say that they did do something about it, but just couldn't find the cause.

shen qingqiu went to wei qingwei's sword trials terrace three times to try to pull hong jing, yue qingyuan himself tested him on demonic qi and mu qingfang did ample research to try and find the reason behind the sudden change, but none of them could find anything. only after all that did they consider the option that it could be amnesia, and then they decided that it might be better not to actively reinstate his memories because they thought the new shen qingqiu was more pleasant. but, again, that was only after they couldn't find any evidence that this wasn't shen qingqiu. it's still pretty tragic that they decided they liked someone else better, but in their defense, they didn't know this was actually someone else.

i think it's not so much a case of "we like this version of shen qingqiu better so let's not look into it too deeply", it's more like "we tried every test we have and nothing came of it, so the only explanation left is that this is the real shen qingqiu, but with amnesia"

it reminds me of this meme:

[ID: An edit of a post by @/tockthewatchdog which says, "i mean they did also test sqq, that was a pretty significant thing that happened. like i understand where you're coming from here but they very much did test shen qingqiu". End ID]

ID made by @nebulations thank you so much!!

It's funny to me that the babe magnet of the LMK Fandom is the guy who was literally a rotting corpse at one point

AU of this AU where Yue Qi started making a replacement body to put SJ's soul into when he thought SJ was dead

This time he went the plant body route- maybe even using the canon mushrooms- and has like, a toddler sized body that looks like SJ growing under his floorboards.

SJ is like WTF we have to get rid of it you stupid dumb weirdo! During his rant though he pokes the body- which was waiting for his soul to inhabit it and at the touch 'wakes up' early.

So now they have a plant baby to figure out- it seems to just be developing it's own personality in the absence of SJ's soul.

SJ is Team Dump It Somewhere. But YQ can't- it looks so much like SJ! He can't be mean to it! So he goes to his Shizun like, "btw I have a little brother can I bring him here?" And his Shizun like "yeah sure whatever."

The problem of course is that YQ leaves to 'go get his brother' and comes back with a toddler who looks just like SJ.

So everyone is like, "that's just you and SJ's lovechild isn't it?"

Which they both vehemently deny but like, Yue Yuan isn't looking any less like SJ the older he gets...
