What Do You Call Your Spouse?

Xie Lian: My husband prefers to be called San Lang! I'm the only person who gets to call him that ☺️

Hua Cheng: Gege or Dianxia, he deserves to be respected

Wei Wuxian: Well we just call each other by our birth names

Lan Wangji: Mn, Wei Ying is Wei Ying

Shen Qingqiu: I guess I just call him Binghe, but I often refer to him as my white lotus

Luo Binghe: Shizun is my one and only Shizun and no one else can claim that title!

Shang Qinghua: I've called him my king even before he became king. I've always known he was destined to become one

Mobei-Jun: Qinghua told me to call him daddy

i was thinking my little thoughts while falling asleep last night, and a concept occurred to me: what if binghe learned about the system not from shen qingqiu, but from shang qinghua

look, he likes shang qinghua alright. he's pretty disinterested in p much anyone who isn't shen qingqiu, but on the list of People Luo Binghe Tolerates, shang qinghua is relatively high. he gave him advice on wooing sqq, after all, and sqq likes his company, so binghe tolerates his shang-shishu

but the thing is, shang qinghua is a spy. has been for decades. binghe knows this. really, everyone knows this at this point, which isn't a great look for a spy, but still. and since shang qinghua is a spy for mobei-jun, who is a subordinate for luo binghe, then technically shang qinghua is also working for him, but you don't get to the position of demon emperor without a healthy amount of suspicion for everyone in your court

so he decides to test shang qinghua a little bit. nothing major, just a little poking around in his dreams. he starts out with a subtle touch, just sifting through his memories. most of it is what he expected. he sees his time on an ding as a disciple and then later as peak lord, he sees him working for mobei-jun. he sees mobei-jun in some compromising situations, which he files away for later, and then sees him in an entirely different flavor of compromising situations, and binghe immediately decides to act like he never saw that

then he decides to take a more direct approach and starts nudging the dreams in other directions, to see how he might react to certain scenarios, test his loyalty. he expects shang qinghua to act cowardly, or bluff his way through a situaton, maybe even draw his sword if pushed far enough

what he doesn't expect is for shang qinghua to frown at the changes luo binghe made and go "I didn't write it like this"

what

binghe is so bewildered by that response that he loses his grip on the dream for a second, and before he knows it, shang qinghua has spun the dream scenario back into the way the scene originally played out. he steps back and looks satisfied. "there we go," he says. "that's how it went. you know, if I'd known I'd be dealing with this scene myself, I would've written it differently"

what the hell does that mean?

fascinated, luo binghe continues to test him. most of the time, when he toys with someone's dream, they're completely unaware of the changes. shang qinghua, despite not seeming aware that he's lucid dreaming, seems very aware of how each scene should go. except for, strangely, many of the scenes that binghe himself was in. binghe pulls up one from his disciple days, one of the times he remembered shang qinghua coming to qing jing on some errand. he hadn't even changed anything yet, had just let the dream version of his younger self launch himself at shizun in a tacklehug, but shang qinghua tsks and takes the reins from him before he can make any edits. "sorry bing-ge, but that was just way too out of character," shang qinghua says. the dream copy of luo binghe's younger self is sent further away, watching the peak lords with a sullen gaze. he's skinnier than binghe remembers being at this age, and one of his eyes is swollen with a purple bruise. that doesn't make any sense, luo binghe thinks. he hadn't been beaten on qing jing peak for years at this point.

the shen qingqiu beside shang qinghua in the dream stands with his back straight as a ruler, and when his gaze lands on luo binghe, he sneers behind his fan. shang qinghua sighs. "cucumber-bro really wasn't as good of an actor as he thought he was. he's way too soft to ever seem like the original goods."

alarmed, luo binghe dispels the dream and steps out of it entirely. sure, he knows shen qingqiu's personality changed almost overnight when he had that qi deviation. everyone knew that. he avoided questioning it much, unwilling to look a gift horse in the mouth when it meant having a shizun that cared for him

but shang qinghua. shang qinghua seems to know something more about shen qingqiu's personality change. something he's not sharing. luo binghe didn't like the idea that one of his subordinates could be hiding something as vital as this from him

well, this had been a test of his spy's loyalties, hadn't it? perhaps he should make a visit to an ding. he had some questions.

the very first time shen yuan cursed airplanes name after his transmigration shang qinghua felt a disturbance in the force

[hopeless-avo]

What I wouldn't do to wrap Airplane-bro (SQH) like a burrito, give him a hot steaming bowl of noodles and a crushing hug (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠) (either from me or by throwing this man into Mobei-Jun's tits), especially most fanfiction versions of this guy!

Bro has been running the logistics peak, having to dance to the whims of the system, been thirsting over a dude who he has become terrified of BC of the hitting and foreseen death flags, all while being the best bro he can stand to be for Cucumber-bro (SQQ) to ensure their only alternative survival back-ups

I'm wondering how good his cultivation is to not immediately burnout by the end of the novels, given he had probably lived so high strung

Bro's more brave than me for all he gets called a coward in fanfiction

[ID: A Scum Villain Doodle. Airplane!Shang Qinghua sits on cushions with a cracked laptop in his lap as he types away tiredly. He is dressed in an oversized shirt with stains, shorts, and glasses. He looks down at his screen with a deadpan expression and eyebags for days. A caption pointing to him states "Has not slept for 24hrs" End ID]

[weirdandproud-of-it]

What I love about sqh is you can’t ever put him in the “I’m begging you” “then beg” scenes cuz hes already on the floor making you feel awkward before you even had a chance to say no

And it works

[summerdoddles]

LBH Bodyswap but instead of being SQQ is actually SQH

And is while he is still in the Endless abyss

their whole relationship in a nutshell 🤣

You know what I haven't seen yet?

Shang Qinghua adopts Shen Yuan AU

I have read at least one fic where Shen Yuan is Shang Qinghua's biological son, but let's change things up

In this AU, the system just spits out a baby in front of Shang Qinghua and it's like: new mission, raise baby. Shang Qinghua is like 'wtf is this', and the system reveals it's Peerless Cucumber. Shang Qinghua is 100% on board because that's his fave anti, but he's also freaking out because he knows nothing about raising a child, and going by experience of being transmigrated into a baby, he knows it will take a while before Peerless Cucumber becomes aware of himself

So Shang Qinghua quickly buys a bunch of baby stuff and spends the entire day reading up on child raising with lil PC in his arms (after asking, the system reveals his name was Shen Yuan, so in this world he decides to call him Shang Yuan for the time being).

I'm not sure where I would take this fic after this (I'm not planning on writing this anyway), but I imagine the rest of the fic is SQH being a nervous dad, SY being a shitty son at first knowing his dad is Airplane, but growing to appreciate him, and of course a lot of shenanigans involving the other Peak Lords and Mobei-Jun

[waitineedaname]

I love when sqh is portrayed as mobei-jun's evil little advisor whispering in his ear like "my king you should totally kill that guy"

[marquisguyun]

new sv au idea: the system is riding sqh's ass bc he *is* the creator of the world with all that implies and the system is trying to nerf him w training wheels so he doesn't figure out he's an actual god

[transmigrationisunderrated]

I think Shang Qinghua should bite people
