– This young master, why are you standing in the rain?

– My fan is dirty.

(from ch 107)

[happypeachsludgeflower]

If I had a nickel for every time a danmei had a good white/light green character with an “evil” dark color/red character as their husband, I would have— a lot of damn nickels. Why does this keep happening??

Okay so, if I am reading qjj correctly, this is the moment Xiao Chiye caught feelings:

[xiao-erlang]

Thinking about how Xiao Chiye went from trying to kill Shen Zechuan at their first meeting— to loving him so much that he would feel pain if even as much as Shen Zechuan’s fingertips is hurt, and Shen Zechuan went from seeing Xiao Chiye as another enemy he needs to guard against— to only being able to be completely at ease and unguarded when Xiao Chiye is nearby.

let’s go horse riding (qjj ch 125)

You lied to me.

Who lied to you?

You lied to me. Liar. Scoundrel. Heartless man…

"Are you cold?"

"Yeah. I'm freezing."

Finished the first volume of Ballad of Sword & Wine. It's so good.

[ihavedonenothingright]

I am definitely not the first person to joke about how many Shens there are in danmei, but it does strike me as very funny that out of the Seven Seas line up, we currently have 4-5 protagonists/love interests with the surname "Shen." And then that sparked a question... just how many Shens are there in danmei?

So here is my request. If you have a danmei Shen not included on this list, please reblog or comment with his name and book. The only requirements are that he has to be one of the leads, and his surname has to be Shen*. Extra data, such as the character used for his name, is also welcome. It is worth acknowledging that sometimes it may be unclear whether or not a character should be counted as a Shen; in that case, I will put it to a vote. Once we have all the necessary data, we can create the first (at least to my knowledge) comprehensive database of Shens.

*submissions with the given or courtesy names Shen will get an honorary mention.
