#pidw shen jiu

[old-danmei-fan]

PIDW au where instead of Shen Jiu abusing Luo Binghe, he isn't exactly nice to him, but almost reluctantly takes him under his wing and teaches him how cruel the world is and how the people you trust most will end up letting you down. He doesn't give him the fake cultivation manual and Binghe never has to sleep in the woodshed.

Well Shen Jiu never ends up letting Binghe down in Bingge's eyes so he becomes 100% loyal to his Shizun and is the only person he trusts.

When the immortal alliance conference rolls around, we get a similar scenario to scum villain in that Binghe is begging Shen Jiu not to make him go into the abyss and says something about how Shizun is the only person he has trusted besides his mother. (I also believe that Shen Jiu wasn't positive, but had an idea about Binghe being a half demon)

She Jiu has the realisation that if he pushes Binghe in, he will be just as bad as all the people that abandoned him. So instead he jumps down with Binghe.

They spend the time in the endless abyss fighting off demons obviously. But Binghe talks about his life pre Cang Qiong whether Shen Jiu wants to hear what he's saying or not. So it slowly dawns on him that Luo Binghe and himself are not so different. He also notices how fucking strong and powerful Binghe is becoming.

By the time Binghe has claimed Xin Mo, Shen Jiu has decided that he will stick with Binghe and dedicate himself to being his right hand man and counselor as he takes over the demon realm since the sect never felt like home and all his martial brothers and sisters hated him.

Luo Binghe and Shen Jiu end up becoming a terrifying duo. No one knows for sure if they are just master and disciple, lovers, ect, but they are scary as fuck together. Binghe still takes over Hua Huan because he eventually finds out what happened to his birth parents, Shen Jiu is never put in the water prison, and finally when it comes to Cang Qiong, Shen Jiu doesnt give a single fuck and tells Binghe he can do as he pleases with it.

Luo Binghe meets with all the peak Lord's and he pretty much tells them he's willing to leave them be as long as they don't fuck with him or Shen Jiu. They don't believe that Shen Jiu is with Binghe willingly so they get invited back to Hua Huan Palace to see for themselves.

When they arrive, Shen Jiu is seated on a throne that is equal in size and on the same level of the dias as Binghe's. Shen Jiu is not happy that they all showed up even though he expected it, and he essentially tells them all he is happier than he has ever been and they can all fuck off back to their mountain and leave him be and he stands up and turns to walk out of the room leaving them all standing with Binghe.

Binghe laughs at them all as he says "I told you so"

That's all I got so far. I just think OG LBH and Shen Jiu would have been such a freaking power couple, whether platonic or not, if Shen Jiu hadn't abused Binghe.

Comic for Triple the SHENanigans AU.

Once all three of them get their own bodies Shen Yuan is excited he can finally go save his disciple, since he couldn’t when they all shared a body. PIDW Shen Jiu stops him, trapping him in Qing Jing with qi barriers. He’s doing it to protect SY, but SY doesn’t understand how powerful the original Luo Binghe is, he doesn’t understand the torment that PIDW SJ suffered at his hands. PIDW SJ doesn’t want SY to make the same mistake his YQY made, trying to save someone who just can’t be rescued.

Non transmitigation au where Shen Yuan auditions for a part in PIDW on a lark when it gets a live action adaptation, not thinking he’ll actually get a part (he just wanted to be able to say he did it okay? He was dated okay??! He was not dared he just thought it’d be neat, but he’ll admit to nothing.) and, much to his horror, ends up cast as Shen Qingqiu.

He somehow accidentally makes Shen Qingqiu so likable that he’s the most popular character. The fandom goes feral over him. He becomes famous. New fans are joining the bandwagon in droves to watch him.

And all the while, Shen Yuan is frantically trying to pretend he isn’t the most notorious anti fan troll to clown on the internet. He has never heard of PIDW before what do you mean Peerless Cucumber whomst?

He is innocent, he does no wrong.

Hey, instead of parental mother hen!Shen Yuan the crane, it's "I'm your hubby now!" Shen Yuan the crane.

Okay, so female birds are not so colorful to blend into the background (so predators can't spot it so easily). Shen Jiu is dressed in green white beige colors, check.

Shen Jiu can fly, check!

Shen Jiu... spots a crane while flying on his sword and does a few sword maneuvers to get closer to the crane (you know, to study the bird a bit better so he can paint it later) accidentally engages the crane in a mating dance... which Shen Yuan the crane accepts!

Shen Yuan the crane is in fact kind of shy that this female bird initiated the offer, but oh man look at this female crane's stunning long black feathers! Truly one of a kind! And look, this female crane has a bunch of baby cranes following behind - clearly her mate is dead else this female crane wouldn't go do a mating dance for Shen Yuan. Shen Yuan is more than happy to be stepfather crane to this little babies!

Unfortunately for Shen Yuan, his bird brain is more in control of all his decision making until he's found himself living on Cang Qiong with his "mate", the Qing Jing peak lord Shen Qingqiu, for a few years "raising" the "baby cranes" together when his human brain goes online and realizes, oh shit, he was a human in his past life and this is the scum villain!

And their youngest "chick" that he keeps trying to preen right now for having such "unruly" curly feathers is none other than the protagonist!

tbh i dunno why so many sj apologists are anti-yqy. because like????? he is your mascot. he was the originator. the head honcho of excusing sj's levels of unmitigated villainy. look into my eyes and tell me that qi ge wouldn't blush and kick his feet if he saw xiao jiu commit murder. actually we don't NEED to imagine bc jiumei did just that and yue qi just grabbed his hand and ran, no thoughts head empty. arson? child abuse?? yue qi doesn't care. whatever makes xiao jiu happy <3

[scumvillainess]

time travel au where a post-pidw shen qingqiu somehow travels back in time (either through death, the magic that still remains in yqy’s sword, etc.) to when he was the head disciple of qing jing peak.

of course, being able to travel back in time doesn’t come without a heavy price and in this case, shen qingqiu ends up having to give up the ability to feel emotions as an equivalent exchange to being brought back to the past.

shen qingqiu of course thinks this is the greatest gift that he’s ever been given and quickly moves on with his life. everyone else (read: yue qingyuan, liu qingge, etc.) on the other hand, is appropriately freaked out by this new version of shen qingqiu who just doesn’t seem to care anymore about anything or anyone.

[sereneabyyss]

I see so many things where like SY is the sweet innocent one who shows SJ how to love and be loved and fixes him blah blah blah. But oh come on now, this is Peerless Cucumber we're talking about. Number one hater extraordinaire. He is so bitchy. He would not fix SJ if anything he would make him worse.

I need more content that's just SY and SJ standing with their twin fans unfolded, viciously tearing their opponents (the other peak lords) apart with their barbed insults. I need them casting vicious mockery within every battle, whether it be against demon, peak lord, or random civilian who just happened to spill tea on them.

SCUM VILLAIN WRITERS, THIS IS A CALL TO ARMS!!

instead of bingge or bingmei, what if we spoke about OUTLINE luo binghe? i will be calling him bingdi from here on out

bingdi wasn’t supposed to have a harem. he was supposed to end up alone. like yeah he’d bang when he wanted to but no wives. shen jiu was supposed to have a fleshed out back story. the entire thing was supposed to be deeper and darker.

let’s drop shen yuan into the mix (as per usual) and see what happens. i personally think he’d be a wandering cultivator and shen jiu’s little brother. that adds to his og fleshed-out backstory. ofc he’s gonna meet airplane (platonic soulmates in the worst way possible) and he’s gonna wifebeam bingdi into submission

i just think it would be fun and new and interesting to drop him into THIS universe because i’ve never seen anyone use the draft as a setting. it’s just so fun to think of a non-bingmei binghe not occupied with wives. wtf is that guy doing? i wanna know. AIRPLANE ANSWER ME. anyways what is svsss fanfiction for if not experimenting??

also if anyone has recommendations like this tell me please i’ve looked everywhere

[levemetal]

Ye old Shen twins au where they both become peak lords EXCEPT. Instead of making them twin peak lords or something, we pretend the evidence that the beast peak does likely not exist is lies, and Shen Yuan gets to become peak lord of the beast peak. Why? Because he would LOVE IT there. It's his territory. He gets to be unapologetically nerdy about beasts 24/7 and make it everyone's problem.

As he should.

And bonus! He can snatch LBH at the disciple hole digging. Plot solved! (Assuming the system wouldn't you know. Pull system stuff and force LBH to end up on Qing Jing or some shit.)

And everyone lived happily ever after or some bullshit idk. I reread the 79 extras as well as the TLJ & ZZL ones let me have fluffy AU thoughts goddamnit, my heart has been irreparably damaged-

[renjunnipeikko]

dunno if this has been done yet but: airplane didn’t first become aware of peerless cucumber in the comments of pidw, he first saw peerless in the comments of a different web novel (that perhaps was one of airplane’s earlier works?) and so when initially drafting pidw he was inspired to write a villain just like cucumber bc “he’s MEAN MEAN for no reason, a literature snob, and pretends to be all high and mighty while looking down on others. also likes to kick down the little guy” and boom. sqq was born. cut to years later post-transmigration when sqh just casually drops this info with “lol i always did find it funny how much you hated the guy considering he’s literally based off you”

[greeniegaes]

Triple the SHENanigans AU!

YQY comes to visit! The ghosts have varying opinion on this, PIDW!SQQ is overjoyed to be able to look at the man who risked his life for him, Shen Jiu hates him even more then before, and Shen Yuan just wants chaos!!

[happypeachsludgeflower]

Liu Qingge comes back to find out that everyone believes Shen Qingqiu murdered him and he’s offended that anyone would think Shen Qingqiu could beat him in a fight. And, as Liu Qingge bitches people out for believing such a ridiculous tale, Shen Qingqiu is off to the side muttering about how he “could absolutely kill that brute if he wanted to.” Liu Qingge turns to him exasperated, grumpy, and annoyed and snaps, “You couldn’t even stop me from killing myself.”

[crazy4reallll]

Modern Shen twins au

Sj: what are you reading

Sy: I’m reading this trash web novel pidw

Sj: I tried to read that but I couldn’t get into it. The writing is just trash.

Sy: I know right!

Sj: yeah the main character is such a whiny bitch.

Sy: ….get out of my room.

Back in the same vein of #shang qinghua is the grandpa friend among the Cang Qiong peak lords AU where Shang Qinghua is one of the oldest Qing peak lords and also nearly a couple centuries older than the youngest Qing generation disciples/peak lords (ahem, Shen Jiu and Liu Qingge)...

One day, the artifact peak lord presents a new artifact discovered from the dusty shelves of Cang Qiong and puts it on the table. It's used to identify parent-child relationships. Specifically, it identifies who, if any, in the room are the parents of the person holding the artifact. *Insert random reason why the artifact peak lord had to bring it out - maybe it's for a low stakes mission for some disciples to undertake but requires a peak lord to transport the artifact because it is rare, expensive, and delicate.*

The Cang Qiong peak lords pass it out, mostly out of curiosity. Or rather, a peak lord is curious about the artifact that they are allocating precious minutes to spend discussing during the monthly peak lord meeting, so he grabs the artifact to take a look. Plus he's bored, so there's that.

The artifact is round, pearl like, and quite pretty with that cat-eye sheen on it. He looks at it from this angle and that, but ultimately, the artifact doesn't react or respond. It's quite boring after 30 seconds of toying it around, so he puts it back.

Naturally, this becomes an invisible signal for the other peak lords to have their turn taking a look at the artifact and a number of peak lords reach out to grab it - but of course, Yue Qingyuan calls dibs first as the sect leader and therefore the highest ranked peak lord. He's not so much interested in the artifact, rather he's getting it to give to Shen Jiu.

Except... when he grabs it, a golden light immediately forms between him and Shang Qinghua... and the artifact is claiming that Shang Qinghua is his biological father.

Silence, and then shocked gasps erupt all around.

Someone immediately asks, "Is this malfunctioning?"

Shen Qingqiu goes to yank the pearl out of Yue Qingyuan's hands, but the moment he touches it, a golden light shines between him and Shang Qinghua.

By the end of this meeting, it's discovered that Shang Qinghua "fathered" most of the Qing generation peak lords; that Shang Qinghua, as is standard for An Ding peak disciples, went on many missions delivering goods to/from various merchants and encountered many sex pollen incidents as the mission leader was led by, at best, a senior disciple; and that Shang Qinghua solved those incidents the good old fashion way with some strangers (ahem, not fellow disciples because they bullied him).

Plus it's taken as fact that Shang Qinghua fathered those peak lords given that not all peak lords were his (as that would immediately be concluded as the artifact no longer properly working) especially when they interrogated Shang Qinghua so hard that they squeezed out from his mouth that he's managed to rizz up an extremely powerful influential demon ruler purely through acting pathetic. Somehow this weakling has the moves to seduce any and all, even the married and most beautiful.

---

(Only Shang Qinghua knows that it's only the peak lords that he actually gave a name to instead of leaving as namely NPCs in PIDW that are marked as his children.)
