#hello bingge

[muffypollz]

"dying for shizun or dying together with shizun, either one is something this disciple would gladly do."

[sillygoofyqueer]

Silly fic idea for you:

SVSSS AU where Shen Yuan transmigrates as a half-human half-crow-demon Phantom thief character.

He doesn’t want to steal from Bing-ge, but his System makes him, and naturally Bing-ge ends up obsessed. Bing-ge keeps luring him into traps with shiny things he just can’t help but want!!! Stupid crow impulses. (That he kinda wants to see Binghe again is irrelevant, obviously).

This is SUPER silly. Anon, this is so funny, I feel like I simply have to write this now oh my god. The idea that Bing-ge is confused at first, and he then sees this super handsome half bird-half human-demon thing and is like "man I need to get me more shiny things, I want to keep this fucker". ALSO, (I've heard that) crows are quite intelligent and start leaving presents as a response to getting fed or being given shiny things, so it could also be something where Shen Yuan starts having the urge to give Bing-ge things back after receiving all these shiny things (better if he doesn't recognise most of the traps as traps, mistaking Bing-ge for being a generous demon who doesn't need all of the shiny stuff he takes) and starts giving him shit like rocks and plants and the cool parts of beasts he fights... It also can be silly no matter when in the timeline this happens - it could be during the QJ peak arc where Shen Yuan sneaks around because he wants to see the awesome protagonist up close! The first time he steals something from Bing-ge, it's something super dumb like a particularly shiny rock or a coin that the boy left lying around, and Bing-ge's quickly like "??? The fuck just happened?" so he sets up a trap with the axe he uses for chopping wood (kind of rusty but still useable and particularly shiny). After that, it's chaos of trying to keep Shen Yuan the demon hidden while also stopping him from stealing other shiny things (cultivator's swords and such). Liu Qingge finds Shen Yuan trying to steal one of the swords he was gifted after saving a village and is also like "??? Kill?" It can also be after the Endless Abyss, when Bing-ge is like a demon lord and just has shiny stuff lying around. He throws it out occasionally and one day, while doing this, he notices a certain person swooping in and grabbing one of the shiny things. More antics ensue but I don't want to crash my laptop lmao (Which one would you rather me do, anon? Before the Endless Abyss, or after? Or both??) {part one! Part two, part three, part four, part five, part six, part seven!} [This gorgeous fanart from @slurmdog that's making me go insane here] [More awe inducing fanart from @moonlightobsessions that has made me pass out here]

[literary-heights]

ok hear me out because imagine shen yuan ever so slightly making the changes over the course of years because he doesn't want to be suspicious

Hello! Could you recommend your favorite System fanfictions?

I have put this off for so long bc I have so many that I love and making a list that big seemed terrifying but I love sharing fanfics so here’s my best attempt <3

Bingqiu:

Tale Within A Tale

Rated T, It is so good!! The concept is so clever and it is such a satisfying read<33

it's you I find like a ghost in my mind

Rated M, a great identity reveal with a lot of dreamsharing

Treading Well-Worn Paths

Rated T, post-canon sqq turns into a kid and yqy and lbh look after him. I cannot tell you how I love this. The characterization, the dynamics, the identity reveal are all so perfect. Everything progresses so naturally and it is so good. The ending is a bit bittersweet and honestly it’s so fitting and just read this it’s perfect

We Are Not Wise

Rated T, in an au where cultivators draw their swords from their souls, sj takes in sy (a bit of blackmailing included). Sy and lbh are both disciples and soulmates. The focus is more on the relationship between sy and sj and it’s probably one of my favorite ways their relationship is portrayed. It is heavier on the angst and I was crying. It is so beautiful <33

The Mortifying Ordeal Of Being Known

Rated T, such a sweet and lighthearted post-canon truth spell fic <33

side effects may include indefinite photosensitivity

This is a three part series taking place post-canon. It’s about relationship development and also character development bc these two are so so young and have so much time to still grow. It is so sweet and also has some genderqueer bingqiu (as a treat)

[kirkodiletears]

Just thought how in "Bingge vs Bingmei" extra, after seeing his shizun together with his own alter-ego, Bingge passes through nearly all five stages of grief one after another: denial, anger, bargaining ("Come with me!"), he is obviously leaving while going through depression and acceptance happens behind the scenes.

And at this very point the ficwriters are waiting for him, he-he. And: "Hello, bingjiu fix-its!"

[rarepears]

You know sukuna from jjk, right?

Well, i've had a thought about a crossover of jjk and svsss, but my brain cant rot beyond; Demon Shen Yuan with the body of Sukuna (the og with the wood-engraving filled half mask face with his multiple eyes, four arms and HIS BELLY MOUTH.) Because immediatly my mind goes BINGHE.EXE HAS HORNY. PLZ CONTACT LIFE SUPPORT.

Because imagine it!

A lazy cocky (not nearly as buff as Sukuna, but i dont like unhealthy sticks and neither does Shen yuan so he's more like PRIMORDIAL POUCHED) 369 cm (pulled from my ass because i love a tall bottom with a short and DETERMINED TO CLIMB THIS WO/MAN bottom, i could chug and ocean jug of this shit.) tall Shen Yuan lazing around as he watches his "best friends" daughter wreaking havoc on a mountain peak of cultivators (poor bastard was NOT told this was PIDW! HE WAS JUST HERE TO BUY YELLOW BOOKS AND KEEP AN EYE ON HIS HOT TEMPERED HONORARY NIECE FROM A BROTHER FROM ANOTHER MOTHER)

When this absolutely FLUFFY haired kid beats a demon elder, only to almost get stabbed by an incurable poison and Shen Yuan cant resist and is nonchalantly holding the demon elder by the face into the air with hands on his hips like a mom as he chides the child about: Don't turn your back on an enemy before they're Dead. Or unconcious. Before giving him the Cheek Squishes.

Luo Binghe: I Have Found God.

In the background: Liu Qingge losing it over Shen Yuan's bared chest, Shen Qingqiu's brain exploding because why the fuck does this demon have the same face as him (thankfully everyone else is too busy being distracted by 1. demons! demon invasion, 2. hot naked male abs, 3. friends are hurt oh no, and 4. wtf is going on and what should we do about this guy with multiple limbs???? hello shizun/shibo/shishu pls some guidance???)

But also let's keep in mind that Luo Bingge here still hasn't had any good adults in his life. Not really. He's jaded AF. Although he delights in having some nice touches for once, he's still not immediately going to leap to "i have found god" status. He does sort Shen Yuan into "potentially nice adult? good pats and squishes. Must think some more about this" while he panics about his near death and how his shizun tried to kill him (kind of) by sticking him in a fight.

[xalatariel]

hello my fellow scummies i am looking for a fic i only somewhat remember ! pls help 🙏

it was either bingjiu or bing&jiu, possibly abo but not certain about that.

set when lbh is a disciple; sj falls ill (?) and lbh cares for him sweetly & innocently but really is actually slowly atticwifing sj to the point he is almost entirely reliant on lbh.

the big twist at the end is that this is actually bingge who has timetravelled/reincarnated and is intentionally manipulating sj.

if anyone has any leads pls let me know! the fic was incredible and i would love to read it again 🫡 i have been scouring ao3 for an hour with no success

[danmeichael]

more detailed descriptions of each style under the cut

simply - think t-shirt jeans and sneakers, maybe a hoodie or something. as average guy on the street as you can imagine.

stylish - manhua ceo, anything from a nice suit to business casual to a pair of ripped jeans and a layered shirt. the sort of fit that isn't super flashy or anything but is immaculately put together. belt matches his ankle-high chelsea boots, consideration of silhouette and contrast, etc.

flashy - i want you to imagine him specifically in a leopard print t-shirt and one of those jackets with a tiger embroidered on the back. so much jewelry, bright colors, lots of patterns, leather pants but with the confidence to pull it off. he has no clue he looks like an anime mobster he just genuinely thinks it looks cool as fuck.

modestly - long flowy pants (binghe in culottes....) a nice flowy button up, some ankle boots. is he stylish or is he just hot, skinny, and tall? yes.

goth - i don't mean eboy i mean capital g goth i mean eyeliner i mean layers i mean lace and leather i mean jewelry i mean pointy-toed boots. trad goth. motherfucker looks like a vampire from the 80s

emo - smudged guyliner, fishnets, black studded denim jacket, ripped jeans and converse, a t-shirt for a band he has never heard of because he is literally from another world but he can feel a sense of kinship with the angst.

badly - 3 wolf moon t-shirt and bright blue cargo shorts. maybe something bootleg hello kitty print.

designer (good) - look i don't know about designer clothes. he's dressed nicely but in that specific way that says oh this guy doesn't look at his own bank statements. nice trousers, everything tailored to fit him how he likes, a pair of fine leather shoes, a watch that makes people who know about watches gawk a little. Things that are nicely made, things thoughtfully purchased for their fit and quality, but undeniably priced the way they are because of the name on the tag.

designer (bad) - overpriced gucci t-shirt and sneakers that are more than your paycheck and frotting against the line between ugly and cool

[nyoomerr]

Hi! Were you the one who wrote the bingge writing tips list (one the tips being make him cry)? I'm writing a binggeyuan fic for the first time and I wanted to reference it. Thanks!

hello hello! i am indeed always advocating for making bingge cry, and i previously answered an ask here with a very general outline of the steps i take to get him good and soggy. i hope that's what you were looking for! otherwise, you're probably looking for a post by somebody else, i don't think i've posted any other tips for writing bingge 🤔

either way, best of luck!! i'm excited that you're venturing forth to bring your own meal to the binggeyuan potluck 😌

[darlingpwease]

Harem of women: Which of us will be the objection of your…attraction

Luo Bingge: Wow..what great options..this is going to be so hard

Reader: Oh, sisters, I’m back from war!

Luo Bingge: HELLO, SAILOR!

the fact that reader uses 'sisters' and luo bingge responds is the most correct and accurate thing<33333 latent bingmei pfff

this is definitely what the world looks like where LUO BINGGE continues pinning, collecting a huge collection of wives, and you do not die, but remain on his side in the form of a 'white lotus, a senior-fellow-disciple who does not allow the main character to completely plunge into madness, performing a permanent role as a petting dog'. it's not that he doesn't realize his feelings, but when you offering to travel the world or make the world a better place, who is he not to throw this whole world at your feet as your little silly toy?

or when his harem of 'gentle rare beauties of the Celestial Empire with soft skin and a seductive figure' begins to look especially closely at you, trying to please, as they quickly grasp to whom their husband feels the greatest favoritism and adoration, almost humiliatingly shamelessly indulging and allowing you everything — except to leave him at least for a minute, of course, — and, although you are a 'good guy', you use this in some cases to make sure that they are under control and do not rush around like mad, but remain an obedient quiet flower garden.

in the end, you can't understand his desire to seduce any beauty around — especially those who look at you, as if a siren immediately starts playing in his brain that he urgently needs to make sure that no beauty will dare to seduce you and take you away from him, — but you just shake head. you don't pretend to such things at all and don't quite understand them, but so far LUO BINGGE is happy, right? even if the only condition under which he returns to the flower garden is when you are unavailable for some reason, you still try to do what is normal, especially when you allow yourself to gently spoil him like when he was your shidi, only now he is the Demon King — but still the same child as before, putting delicious pieces on your plate and stealing from you a part that he knows you don't really like, but you are sure that he also just likes to behave spoiled flirtatiously in front of you.

as if he is not a cruel, collected and elegant Demon King, the most powerful demon, but your jealous wife, sparkling with sparks from his eyes, who has a bunch of wives, but still requires priority time in your schedule and returns to imperiousness and suppression as soon as she feels that you want to leave him. not that you meddle in the affairs of his vast harem, but if he is the same with his beautiful little wives, then you are very sorry for them, because even for you, who have known him for a long time, he remains a capricious, needy, clingy child.

(it's not like that in the harem.)

(LUO BINGGE might as well just throw them out.)

(it's not like that at all in the harem.)

(even the two main wives do not quarrel as much as they could, knowing that their husband's heart is already absolutely and hopelessly occupied.)

('shidi needs to take responsibility for his actions and the beauties' 'yes shixiong')

('if shixiong hadn't gone anywhere this harem wouldn't even exist' 'shush shidi you are stallion')

[jade-len]

hello yes i'm that one guy who was asking if people would be interested in svsss x / & gn or male reader fics (also tysm for the comments?? like i was not expecting so much support. i really appreciate it!)

i've decided on writing idea 3 first, the bingge one! ...albeit with a lot of tinkering lol. if you don't know what i'm talking about, feel free check out my last (and first) post.

however, because i am very indecisive and absolutely cannot make many decisions on my own without some guidance or opinion, i would like to ask for a little feedback!! please choose which idea you like more, and i might write that one first.

i feel like the themes in both ideas are pretty similar, though just approached a little differently. i don't really wanna spoil how it'll entirely go ofc.. but there def is more to them, i hope it'll be sorta clear once i present both routes!

i can't promise i will go with the more favored idea, but it will definitely heavily influence my final decision! please don't be afraid to ask any questions, i'll answer :)

if i end up choosing the one you were less interested in, don't worry! remember, this is what i'm going to be writing first. it doesn't mean i won't write the other one too.

route 1:

an enemies to friends to lovers type deal! a slow burn fanfic where you are pretty much the opposite of shen yuan's passive nature, absolutely fuck with luo binghe's plans (at least, the ones you know of..), and slowly find the small, bruised boy hiding under that proud front. will be rated M.

that manipulative bastard, luo binghe, hurt everyone you loved and cared about. he tarnished the sweet gongyi xiao's reputation, seduced your fiance, and shredded the small, remaining pieces of self worth you had left in your heart.

you played right into his clawed hands, believing his charismatic front and pretty lies. you were naive, downright stupid. you and huan hua palace welcomed luo binghe with opened arms after he crawled out of the endless abyss, and because of it, those you cared for suffered.

really, you were so easy to manipulate. if only you noticed earlier. you couldn't do anything. no- you wouldn't do anything. if you weren't such a coward, perhaps this would've all been prevented. this isn't fair for everyone else. why did you get to live, while those who fought back and stood up against luo binghe had to suffer?

the survivor's guilt eats you away every waking moment of your life. and, when that's not happening, your sleep is plagued with nightmares of what could've been.

it's too late. luo binghe is now the almighty emperor of the two realms. he can easily overpower anyone who gets in his way, and especially you.

while you certainly wish to beat luo binghe, you don't hate him.

maybe this is just the softer side of your brain, but for some reason, you can't shake off the empty, miserable look in his eyes. even as he's surrounded by countless of maidens and riches, luo binghe looks as though he he'll never be truly fulfilled.

what is it, luo binghe? do you need more power, more gold? a hundred more women, perhaps? do you regret killing them? do you regret not killing more? why is it that even with your intricate mask, behind it is a hollow shell?

it's strange. you should absolutely detest him, but instead, you pity the king. luo binghe is a man who has everything, yet it seems as though he cannot find any sort of happiness through it.

when you travel back in time - exactly right after the demonic invasion where luo binghe was pronounced dead - you are determined to make things right.

you won't let anyone suffer from his wrath. you'll play your cards smart with that very same poker face luo binghe uses. use your knowledge of the future to your advantage. be smart, all the way from the start.

when luo binghe enters huan hua palace, you are the stronger, better person you were too scared to form into before. "gifted with the knowledge most people can never obtain," the old palace master says. you're an essential part of the sect, whereas you were nothing before. maybe not the head disciple like gongyi xiao, or the child of the master like the little palace mistress, but definitely akin to a secretary in the disguise of an ordinary disciple. someone with very valuable information.

you'll save your dear friend, gongyi xiao. you'll save your fiance, and, hopefully have her be with someone who isn't a manipulative, two-faced asshole. you'll save everyone.

(perhaps you'll save a poor, hurt boy, too. one whose been hiding from his cruel shizun for years, using the face of a proud demon to muffle the sounds of his crying and the breaking of his already cracked heart)

you know luo binghe's advantages. you know of his plans. let's just hope he doesn't find out about yours and change up his too much.

aka, you severely confuse and frustrate luo binghe (why the hell aren't his plans working? who are you? why do you look at him as if you can see right through him?), and luo binghe severely confuses and frustrates you too (why the fuck is luo binghe doing that? that totally goes against what he was supposed to do! hold on, hold on- new plan guys!).

both of you are smartasses who are also, secretly, simultaneously dumbasses going against each other.

route 2:

this'll most likely be rated T, but it may change.

luo binghe stripped you of your very being. you were once someone who was proud and undeniable, and now, you are a person that people only pity and grimace when your name is mentioned.

you hate it. you hate him. you can't even remember what the outside world looks like anymore, you can't even remember that wretched man's face. the only thing that is burned into your mind is his demon mark and those cruel scarlet eyes. the only thing that runs through your head is revenge. the only reason why you're even still alive is because of the glimmer of hope that you'll do the exact same things he did to you.

you fought back against him early, while he was still rising the ranks. continuously, you tried warning people about his capability and evil nature. yet, no one listened to you. and then, it was too late once people realized. fuck! everyone was so stupid, believing his pretty face and lies! you'll get back at him, you'll carve his heart out and present it to his wives, the world, and everything that he has. you worked too hard to reach to where you were before luo binghe destroyed your reputation for daring to step in his way. you went from a mere nobody to a powerful cultivator, and it just all went downhill from there!! for... months? or years? you don't remember anymore - you wished to the heavens for a second chance. you'll correct his wrongdoing. only evil lies in his heart, behind his deceitful, flowery words.

after suffering from a qi deviation, your wish to prevent any of that destruction is granted, and suddenly you've been transported back into the past. way, way before you've even heard of the name... wait, what was his name? fuck, fuck! you don't even remember the outline of that- that monster!

you'll still get back at him, though. you recognize your clothing and the time.. it seems as though you're still just a wandering, rouge cultivator. if your calculations are correct, then you'll have more than enough time to prepare. when you fought back, you were still weaker than him. you'll get stronger and take him down before he can even dare to lay a finger on your hard work.

on your journey to gain even more power, you come across a poor, abused boy. he reminds you all too much of yourself. luo binghe, the orphan says that his name is. your heart can't help but still at it, but it's probably for no reason, right? you're in a little shock after literally going back in time.

how could this small boy with such pure, starry black eyes, hurt you after all? how could anyone hurt such a sweet thing, too? it's a shame how monsters like that man take advantage of people like luo binghe. a white lotus, you mentally nickname him.

he frequently visits you with a wide smile and some lovely tea (where did he get that from? this is some really expensive, fancy stuff. he couldn't have gotten it without stealing it from somewhere really nice, like shen qingqiu's stash, or something... haha, he would never! that pure boy!). you keep on telling luo binghe that he shouldn't miss out on sleep just to say hi, that maybe he should be with his friends instead, too. luo binghe doesn't talk much about his life at the peak, but it's nice to chat with him.

when you realize what's exactly going on, you take him under your wing. if shen qingqiu can't appreciate the little lotus, then you will (you'll put him right under that man on your "revenge" list.. which only consists of them two). perhaps it'll be good to have a successor, a disciple you can pass your teachings down onto. it would be handy to have someone else's help once that monster's actions come into light, after all.

its then you decide, you'll protect the little luo binghe, too. the world is much too cruel, and it'll especially be under that demons' ruling. you won't ever understand how people could become so evil, downright monstrous. you swear on your life, you'll keep that man in your grasps and end his tyranny.

unknowingly, you've already stopped it the moment you held your hand out to that very same monster.

oh, what will you do once nothing happens to you or anyone? once you begin to remember more and more of that man's face and find out just who exactly you've helped?

aka, you're an utter buffoon worrying over that man, while that same man is now just a little guy wanting to please his kinder (and kind of more improper) shizun.

. . .

i've planned a little more for route 1, but i have a pretty good idea for route 2 as well. route 1 will most likely be a little longer than 2 too since it's a slow burn with scheme-y little shits. ever since i posted, i've just been trying to plan out the plots lmao. please leave your thoughts! or not, but thanks for using your time to read all of this lol.

@happycandydinosaur @tuxibirdie @wilczymotyl sorry if you guys expected a full chapter with me tagging you three but i promise after this, i'll (hopefully) have a chapter ready! tysm for supporting my last post :)

[ectoodle]

Hello! I wanted to ask what made you fall in love with bingqiu?

Hey there!

Ah hmm that's an interesting question, I've never thought about it actually. I like bingqiu a lot, but I never considered it as falling in love with the ship? They're a fun ship to play with and they have a wide range that's pretty flexible so I'm always in my comfort zone drawing them.

I suppose most of the art I draw for bingqiu are a love letter to them, though. And I think that's pretty telling of my brain rot for them 😂

I think the food the fandom cooked up really helped a lot. SV fic writers are on a whole other plane of existence when it comes to analyzing binghe's character and filling in on his journey of healing with sqq by his side. I'm the annoying type of audience that gets bored when the main couple gets together at the end...so when scum villain ended the way it did, mxtx may as well have german suplexed me on the concrete. scum villain is a story that subverts its tropes left and right and the ending was no exception! I love that bingqiu getting together at the end was not an automatic happily ever after, but rather, they still are putting in the work and effort to understand and stay in each other's lives. The glimpse of that path we get in the extras really did solidify my desire to see how bingqiu will continue to stay together--bingmei vs bingge extra was probably the finishing blow for me tho lmao. I couldn't stop thinking about what the heck happened to bingge after he left the sv world that I read a bunch of fics about him and needed to soothe the angst with sv bingqiu

on a side tangent, bingqiu parallels another of my all time ship, nozomizo from liz and the blue bird. mild spoilers if you haven't seen liz, but nozomizo had a similar codependent relationship that needed them both to grow apart as individuals in order to stay together. bingqiu separated unwillingly and binghe's growth as an individual was fueled by betrayal, despair, and that dying glimmer of hope that maybe, maybe shizun could accept him now that they're equals. but they don't. because binghe still hasn't emotionally grown to get past his temper tantrums (thanks xin mo) and sqq is still failing binghe by constantly misunderstanding him. but bingqiu still choose each other, choose to love and support each other, and they refuse to be separated again. whereas nozomizo was a healthy separation with a promise of reunion, bingqiu was fighting through the muddy trenches with a vague hope that the other is reaching out their hands too. i thought it was neat how differently both ships handled their codependency that still guarantees a happy ending, no matter how dirty and bruised they got along the way.

I also think sqq's compassionate narration in regards to binghe's suffering got to me lmao. He truly does care for binghe, and even if naysayers argue it's not romantic, it's undeniable that binghe is special to sqq. although not the best choices, most if not all of his choices were for binghe's best interest (thanks system). sqq had so much heart for binghe that it affected me through the screen too. binghe's abandonment issues and fake wet tears have captivated me. his gap moe as a chuuni emo demonic overlord and wife with a maidenly glass heart has bewitched me body and soul. i want luo binghe to be happy so badly!!

i think that's why bingqiu fascinates me. most of the bingqiu arts i draw are like slice of life vignettes, so without the meat and bones of fanfic diving into bingqiu's messiness, i would not have ascended to this level of brain rot for them...

[randomleafoflove]

God damn, studying after a decade of depression is really feeding my imagination.

Here we have a Modern college AU (which I hate), in which Shen Jiu and Luo Bingge were switched at birth, so the Bingge grew up as Shen Yuan’s very overprotective brother, and Shen Jiu as Luo Bingmei’s very acerbic and argumentative brother.

This prolog is from Shang Qinghua’s POV, and I doubt I’ll ever write more of this.

-

Another new student processed, another folder filed.

God, why couldn’t the student offices digitize already!

Shang Hua was on the brink of despair, and wondered if it was worth keeping this job. He could make more money writing porn! And it would be less stressful!

But no, it was just another year until he graduated, and could find a cubby hole of his own in the corporate hell, doing accounting and wait for the inevitable program that could do the job better and faster than any human. If he was smart, he could have some savings by then, and then be able to write to his heart’s content.

“- fucking psychology?! You’ll fit in with every other neurotic narcissist in you classes-“

Shang Hua heaved a deep sigh and plastered on his customer-service smile as he looked up. And up. The two freshmen were tall, though the curly haired one was even taller than his companion. Non-curly was sneering at his companion, his long, oval face would have been lovely if he’d had any other expression. Curly, on the other hand, was in the middle of an angry rant, and he too, was unfairly attractive, if much more Shang Hua’s type with big muscles and well-defined jaw.

“Oh? Then you’ll fit in with the budding criminals in business courses,” non-curly snapped back, before turning to Shang Hua. “I’m Su Jiuhe, I need my room key and student ID.”

“Su Binghe, same.”

Brothers, huh? One couldn’t tell at all, thought Shang Hua as he fetched the correctly labeled folders. “I’ll need to see some ID before giving these to you,” he told the frostily silent brothers and was presented with two brand spanking new driver’s licenses. “Thank you. Now, if you could fill in the paperwork and sign at the end, you’ll be all done. There are some chairs over there if you want.”

Curly, Su Binghe, headed for the chairs, while non-curly, Su Jiuhe, stayed at the counter. Shang Hua wanted to reach for his phone for something to do, but he could feel Su Jiuhe judging him and his faded graphic t-shirt, so he just sat there in his swirly chair, leg bouncing.

The brothers filled their paperwork in silence, and listened as Shang Hua gave a quick reminder on how the electric student ID could be used. As they left, they started their fight up again, before even exiting the lobby.

‘*’*’*’*’*’*’*’

A few days later, the pair walked back in.

Except… curly’s hair was a little longer, more of a Jon Snow look than the Robb Stark from before. And non-culry was smiling and thanked curly as he held a door open.

“- wait for the classes! I wonder how many courses I can take? So many things affect literature, history, psychology, gender of both reader and writer!”

“Don’t forget politics and even laws,” curly said, smiling as he followed.

“Point. The list of banned books is always fascinating!”

“Hello! I’m Shen Bing, this is my brother Shen Yuan,” the Su Binghe doppelgänger said with a sunny smile. “Can we have our dorm keys and student IDs, please!”

Numbly Shang Hua got the requested files. He wasn’t paid enough for this. Someone somewhere managed a baby switch with two sets of twins, and now they were all four at Tsinghua University. If this was real life, no one, absolutely no one, could call his stories unrealistic.

But now he was also… kind of intrigued. What would happen now? Would the twins ever meet? Was there going to be some kind of Parent-trap-esq identity shenanigans in the future?

His porn writing imagination took flight. What if one pair of curly and non-curly met and started dating? It wouldn’t be incest, but still tickle that same thirst, fucking someone identical to the person one grew up with as brothers.

His mind filled with dirty possibilities, Shang Hua rummaged through his bag as the Shen brothers did their paperwork, and finally pulled out one of his banged up notebooks. No way in hell was he writing porn on the student office reception computer, that was asking for trouble.

Hello world. First, have this non-canonical comment fic set in the Wives AU. Will make zero sense if you have no idea what the Wives AU is.

Wen Qiyu has no idea why she fought against this this hard.

Well, she does. The answer to this query is currently snuggling against her, his breasts pushing against her back in a way that might have distracted her thoroughly hadn’t that hunger been utterly sated, courtesy of both Ling Huilang and the person gazing over them both with possessive satisfaction, i.e., their husband.

Luo Binghe’s presence cannot be forgotten, but for once Shang Qinghua isn’t worried about it. Their lord and master has had everything he desires: the one he cares for once not placidly compliant but an eager participant, spurred on by the presence of his, let’s be honest here, one friend to support him. Wen Qiyu not as an obstacle between him and Ling Huilang but as an ally to take down his favorite’s wall, one brick at a time. Both of them still in his bed the morning after, at least for now, because Wen Qiyu is pretty sure it’s about time for her to make herself scarce. That way Luo Binghe gets to have Ling Huilang all to himself when she wakes up. If he’s very, very lucky, maybe he’ll manage to make Cucumber-bro talk about his ❀ ⋆˚ feelings ₊˚❀༉.

Except that her attempts at disentangling herself from Ling Huilang are stopped by said Ling Huilang sleepily holding onto her and their husband’s lips on hers, which, why? Surely she’s unneeded at that point. “My king? Wouldn’t you appreciate time by yourself with Ling Huilang? I wouldn’t want to interfere.”

“Why would you? Are you not also my wife, as lovely as any of them and twice as clever as most? Why would I not want you by my side?”

Where did that came from?

Her bafflement might be visible because Luo Binghe laughs and kisses her again, tenderly, the way Shang Qinghua imagines he kisses Ling Huilang. She is so, so confused.

“Can’t you believe your presence and contribution could be recognised and duly appreciated? Last night proved we work better on the same side. I neglected you. I won’t make that mistake again.”

“Huh… Whatever my king wants.” What else can she say?

Apparently, what Luo Binghe wants is for her to settle back into bed and against his flawless protagonist’s chest to wait until the one binding them together deigns to open his eyes. He wants to pet Wen Qiyu’s hair and to rub her side gently, until Wen Qiyu wonders if she’ll fall asleep again before his bro wakes up. Luo Binghe is delightfully warm, and the night was… demanding. She can think of worst things than remaining here between the centers of her universe.

She feels eyelashes tease her nape as Ling Huilang wakes. “What… Who… Oh.”

Shang Qinghua can almost hear the blush spreading like wildfire on Ling Huilang’s skin. He can certainly feel the heat of it on his own skin.

Much less expected are the “fuck it” Ling Huilang spits out under his breath and the much more insistent press of his quite womanly shape against her back, legs entangled in hers. “Huilang?”

Ling Huilang hides his face into her neck. “Still sleeping.”

Over her hips, Luo Binghe’s fingers find Ling Huilang's and trap them into his palm.

The weight of their joined hands is overpowering.

Shang Qinghua is not sure he can stand this. Sex is sex, he could handle it, but whatever this is? What is he supposed to do with that? “No you’re not, come on, let me up. You can have Bingge all to yourself, wouldn’t that be great?”

Linh Huilang twitches against him but does not let go of him one bit. “You’re staying.”

Deep but kind laughter from his other side. “It seems your objections have been heard but overruled.”

It does seem like it.

Ling Huilang is smiling against her neck. Wen Qiyu can feel the shape of it, soft on her skin.

Well, that battle sure is lost. There is no way he’s getting out of there if Cucumber-bro and Luo Binghe are collaborating. Shang Qinghua knows his odds in those circumstances: they are null.

The bed is sinfully warm, though not as sinful as the people occupying it. Also like the people occupying it, it is very, very comfortable.

If Bingge and Cucumber-bro want to cuddle for a bit, why not? He’s not going to lose anything.

And if they want more than that… Well, he’ll cross that bridge when he comes to it.

Hello! Hope you are having a good day!

I began to reread Scum Villain and began to think about the similarities between the Xin Mo and Flower of Everlasting Hatred. Like both of them heighten the negative feelings, except the latter is a bit more one track. Both contribute to the darkening of the person in possession of it, except for Xin Mo it has the added imagery of being the driving force of the OG stallion novel. It attempts to perpetuate the old plotlines, attempting to transform Bing-mei to Bing-ge,,,,,both are present as the symbol of a higher power manipulating the narrative (Hua Binan/The System), albeit for different reasons. "Forced to become evil due to freaky magical influence" is a trope that has incredible potential for angst™.

Aaaaa, thank you for the ask! I love SVSSS/2ha parallels so much!! 🤗

2ha was my first danmei and it is also the book that is more suited to my tastes, so while I did end up enjoying SVSSS for what it is, my favorite parts were definitely the ones where I could see the direct parallels with 2ha, especially the parallels between Bingmei/Bingge and MZS/TXJ. My absolute favourite bit in the whole book was when the PIDW Bingge created the rift and ended up in the SVSSS timeline.

With that said, I always connected Xin Mo with Bugui, but your parallel also makes so much sense from the POV of both Xin Mo and the 🌺 being a corrupting magical influence. Xin Mo seems to have both a higher state of consciousness than either Bugui or the 🌺, and an agenda that is independent of its master. All spiritual weapons in 2ha seem to have some level of sentience, but they don't seem to have a will of their own and they certainly do not have an agenda independent of their wielder. Bugui was a destructive entity because Mo Ran himself was destructive. The 🌺, though, did not have sentience or will of its own. It was just a cancer. Xin Mo may have been corrupting, but it also gave its wielder power. The 🌺 did not, it just twisted and corroded. Also, the main difference for me here is the element of choice. Luo Binghe chose to take up Xin Mo, knowing the risks but doing it anyway because it would yield him unimaginable power. Mo Ran had no choice.

The corrupting magical artefact that Xin Mo reminds me more of is the One Ring from The Lord of the Rings. It is, in essence, sentient and has its own agenda. It magnifies your inherent power to a massive degree, but it also eats away at you until you are nothing but a shell of your former self. Both of them are parasitic, but at least for a while there, there is an element of symbiosis (for comparison, the 🌺 in 2ha is definitely parasitic with no benefit to the host, and Bugui is symbiotic, with no negative side-effects at all).

What is interesting to me about Xin Mo is that Bingge actually mastered this sword and found a way to control it instead of the other way around, even if this is a constant work in progress and the sword still seems to be looking for ways to chip away at his defences (hence his constant need to channel its negative energy through sex). Bingmei never did and the sword very much infected his mind in a way that it never did with Bingge. I think that this is (partly) because Bingmei left the Abyss sooner than Bingge and thus never fully mastered his demonic powers, but also because Bingmei's goals were different to Bingge's. Bingmei's big dream is to be a househusband for his Shizun and live in domestic bliss, while Bingge wants to rule the known universe. The latter is much more in line with the demonic sword's own nature, which craves and thrives on chaos, which is why I think Xin Mo was an actual asset to Bingge and an active factor in his own destruction for Bingmei.

Hua Binan and the System, though, go into different categories for me. Hua Binan is the actual villain of the narrative, with a personality and a goal that is influenced by in-universe factors. On the other hand, I view the System in the same way as I view all AI. It's a computer program that does what its code tells it to, but it is not actually intelligent, nor does it have any independent design. It is dumb and easily fooled, but also inflexible and unable to realise when its actions could lead to its own destruction (such as Shen Qingqiu dying being a viable option to this "game", which would absolutely lead to Luo Binghe spiralling and self-destructing and taking this whole universe, including the System, out in the process).

Anyway, there is SO MUCH I want to talk about concerning the parallels between Bingge and TXJ (and their respective shizuns' reactions to meeting their blackened selves) but this is getting loooooong as it is, so I am going to stop here for the time being 😭

Crack idea: Shen Jiu, while in the Greco-Roman world, runs into Shen Yuan-possessed Aeneas.

(When Shen Yuan learns that his MOTHER is trying to help Luo Bingge get together with the SCUM VILLAIN... and that characters from PIDW somehow transmigrated into this Ancient Greece setting... lol his face-)

Okay actually I feel like Wei Wuxian would be better suited to be Aeneas. After all, the more common storyof Aeneas is that he was the leader of the Trojan survivors after Troy was taken by Greeks (and hello? Wei Wuxian being the leader of the few remaining Wen's?) while the later versions of the story - thanks to Homer - says that Aeneas helped betray the Troy to the Greeks. Wei Wuxian's rep was pretty bad that rumors painted him as a threat to the very cultivation world that he sought to protect during the Sunshot campaign...

Set this to be the Wei Wuxian who just died on the Burial Mound and we got an even more determined Wei Wuxian that refuses to let anyone under his protection perish again.

Plus if we have Shen Yuan here, he's just going to get fought over by EVERYONE with his wifebeam and then, rather than defending Troy from invading Greeks, he's going to be defending his virtue from the Greeks who are trying to birde-nap him away.

Among other things.
