Iirc, it's implied that luo binghe wasn't the first young talented disciple that shen jiu took harsh measures towards in an attempt to drive them off the peak (the treatment being just as bad as lbh's abuse is unclear. But I assume that since shen jiu hated binghe the most, the abuse he inflicted upon him was a lot harsher compared to past disciples. Considering shen jiu hated him so much that he attempted to kill binghe multiple times and all).
So wouldn't it be an interesting scenario if some form of luo binghe encountered these runaway failed disciples later in life? What would either bingmei or bingge feel about that?
#the angst potential is boundless and untapped#like imagine encountering all the failed young sprouts before you that your teacher scared off. theyre so much like you but you.#but you can tell they werent as hurt or punished as harshly as you were. and yet you were the one who stuck around. everyone else fled.#imagine these failed disciples grown up and satisfied with their decision of abandoning cultivation. they think it was the right choice#and theyre happy with their lives and have healed from their disicplehood exps.#and yet luo binghe is still here. affected by it. for good or ill hes now a full fledged cultivator.#but some small part of him has yet to grow out of that scared disciple. unlike these strangers who he should feel a kinship towards.#shouldnt this encounter feel validating? but instead it makes him feel more alone.#but then those feelings are even more complicated when you add sy in the mix!! what then!! what do you feel then!!!😤😤😤😭😭#what doe SY! SHEN QINGQIU feel if hes also there with binghe when he encounters them... what then???#svsss#scum villains self saving system#luo binghe#shen jiu

Yes!!! And it doesn't have to be just marriage either it can include any happy healthy long-term relationships. Getting together shouldn't always be the end of the story, I want to read about how they stay together and deal life's issues, plus adventuring couples are amazing. I dont just want to read about angst and heartbreak and misunderstandings, I want to see them overcome these issues and see what happens thereafter. I want to see long term character development!!!!!! That is not a boring subject but it's probably more difficult to write that an angsty whirlwind romance so we don't see it often. Some of my favourite book series follow this direction including the In Death series by JD Robb and the Guild Hunter Series by Nalini Singh.
The untapped potential when writing about established relationships is literally boundless if you bury the stereotypical tropes
Why you should write healthy marriages:
1. They aren’t done enough.
2. They help other people understand what a healthy relationship looks like.
3. Fights can last for weeks and still be part of a healthy marriage.
4. Stereotypes. Break all the marriage stereotypes.
5. Soft cute couple moments DON’T stop after marriage.
6. Marriage is completely independent of character arcs. Those two individuals with trauma will still be two individuals with trauma but with gold rings.
7. A healthy marriage is one where people understand that their partners have baggage/trauma/flaws, but love them even in rough patches.
8. It isn’t that healthy marriages aren’t compelling, it’s that people don’t know how to write marriages correctly.
9. Marriages being an end goal often perpetuates that women are trophies to be won.
10. Marriages being an end goal often perpetuates that someone’s “freedom” ends there. Bury this trope, please, I beg of you.
