[speaking like we’re all at a slumber party together]

Do you think that if Shen Yuan had transmigrated into the protagonist’s role he would have found a way to give the body back to Binghe because he felt it was just too much of a pity to simply do away with the original?

Unbeknownst to him, Binghe’s there. Watching. Growing alongside his possessed body.

Shen Yuan does the Abyss Arc himself. It wouldn’t do to awaken the poor boy’s spirit just to throw him to the wolves! And, okay, he can maybe fix some plot holes, unveil some secrets, deal with rat bastard authors, and take over the demon realm before returning the body. He’s leaving the harem gathering for Binghe, though! And, he stores away every treasure!

He’s not so presumptuous as to steal the joys of demonic lordship from the protagonist. He can do the hard part, and then give Binghe his body back to enjoy the fruits of Shen Yuan’s labour!

If he makes this sacrifice, surely the protagonist would let him live despite his transgressions?

He finds a body for himself, returns the goods, and all concludes peacefully and with as little bloodshed as possible. (It’s still a lot. Alas.)

And then his plan would hit the predictable snag of Luo Binghe misunderstanding the whole thing, leaving him with only the notion that a gentle, pretty, protective and other adjectives god-alien spirit had basically died of rage on his behalf and shouldered all of Binghe’s difficulties in order to spare him countless agonies and troubles.

How does one go about repaying that? Is marriage even enough?! Was this a form of courting?! How is this even supposed to work!

Also Shen Yuan believes putting off wife-gathering for a later date doesn’t affect the harem in any way. When Binghe’s back, he’ll do his protagonist best and get them back. Those who can’t even wait a few years, do they even deserve to have Luo Binghe’s regard?

(Luo Binghe is clawing at the walls with how Shen Yuan misses the implications of that statement. Meng Mo has developed spirit instabilty out of rage. Shang Qinghua is not helping.)

Y'know what I want? More meng mo and shen qingqiu interaction. The few scenes we got with them was honestly golden. The slight concern meng mo showed him after the punishment and the way he sort of helped him? Despite him "hating" shen qingqiu? Their relationship kind of gives me like estranged uncle you only see like every other christmas that always has something to say about you. But it's clear its not like malicious it just comes off as awkward.

I read this one fic awhile ago about shen qingqiu and binghe accidentally body swapping while binghe was in the abyss and shen qingqiu took it upon himself to help out binghe while like expertly navigating through the abyss. And because shen qingqiu was in binghes body, meng mo and him got to talk a bit. The way the author wrote meng mo was so fucking funny dude. Like bro was going through the 5 stages of grief and somehow ended up begging binghe to marry shen qingqiu. Peak comedy.

@grubus taadaa? lol

Sooo ya know that little gif I posted? This whole thing stemmed from me letting things get too out of hand while drawing up the dream scene that was only going to be that tiny little image....I have no regrets.

Just in case here's the rant

WHAT THE FUCK! I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO KISS MY HUSBAND? WHAT A SHITTY DREAM! MENG MO COULD DO BETTER. WAIT, THE ORIGINAL NING YINGYING DIDN'T DREAM OF-OF THAT RIGHT? I WOULD HAVE REMEMBERED. I THINK I WOULD REMEMBER? FUCK. IT'S BEEN SO MANY YEARS. DID SHE? AM I GASLIGHTING MYSELF? DOES THIS COUNT AS GASLIGHTING? REGARDLESS, WHY THE FUCK WOULD MENG MO SHOW ME THAT? WAS IT BECAUSE I WAS PUT IN A WIFE PLOT? SO HE JUST...JUST AUTOMATICALLY DID THAT? LIKE A GLITCH IN THE SYSTEM OR SOMETHING? OMG! WAIT! DID BINGHE SEE THE WEDDING? FUCK! WAS THAT HIM THERE AND NOT JUST SOME FAKE? FUCK! WAIT! NO. HE WOULD STILL BE TALKING TO MENG MO... RIGHT? BESIDES, I’M A GUY! SO BINGHE WOULD NEVER WANT TO-TO...SYSTEM! DID BINGHE SEE THAT? WAS THAT HIM? SYSTEM! WHAT THE FUCK! WILL I BE PUT IN FUTURE WIFE PLOTS JUST BECAUSE I'M BINGHE'S BESTEST FRIEND IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD...

Luo Binghe is kind of an orphan, but he also has SO many deadbeat, dead, or creepy parental figures or technical parents, it's SO funny to me. He only actually wants, like, two of them in his life.

The washerwoman: adoptive mother. Loved her and misses her to this day. Only mother he cares about.

Unknown potential miscellaneous caretakers between the fishermen finding him in the Luo River and his adoptive mother taking him in. SOMEONE had to nurse this kid if he wasn't actually adopted by the washerwoman immediately.

Su Xiyan: birth mother. If anyone told him about the "set adrift in a river" thing, he probably assumed for most of his life that a birth parent left him for dead.

Shen Qingqiu (Shen Jiu): teacher and master. If Shen Jiu didn't give Binghe a lot of his issues, then he definitely made them worse!

Shen Qingqiu (Shen Yuan): teacher and master. The "can't I look at what I raised?" is there and cannot be taken back, and it does just get weirder from there. No, I don't think Shen Yuan would be thrilled about being on this list at all.

Meng Mo: teacher and portable grandfather. This demon had to talk Binghe into being his student and settle for not even being called "Shifu". Probably gives terrible advice.

Shang Qinghua: father to Binghe as much as he's father to everyone in this world that he wrote. Does NOT want Binghe to know this. Probably gave Binghe a lot of his own issues. Sure does give advice.

Mobei-Jun: demon mentor (arguable) and stepfather through the author father thing. Does not know this. Definitely gives terrible advice.

Huan Hua Palace Master: master of Binghe's birth mother, wants to be Binghe's father-in-law and is also using him as a replacement Su Xiyan. Threw Gongyi Xiao aside IMMEDIATELY to take Binghe in and put Binghe in charge of the Jin Lan City mission even when he wasn't an official disciple.

Tianlang-Jun: birth father. Sealed away before Binghe's birth and comes back to cause SO MANY problems.

PART TWO OF THAT ONE ANON'S ASK WITH THE REACTIONS OF IMPORTANT DEMONS TO SHEN YUAN (*pulls out the wiki*...now, who's important enough to yap about.....): Sha Hualing: Sha Hualing underestimates Shen Yuan at first, believing him to be just another stepping stone to power - if she can make Luo Binghe deal with her existence, she can do anything! So, she puts on the charm: "oh, Ling-er got lost...can the benevolent corvid deity help her?" all coy and demure. Then SY stares at her, and she can just SEE how her flirting flies over his head before he says "yeah! Of course I can." So, she thinks he's a moron, a brilliant thing for her if she wants to be more powerful. However, SHL then has to watch as all of these demons and yao trip over one another to try and court SY and is like "oh...oh I see...." and tips her hat to him - after all, she has to respect a man who can also use his pretty qualities to get as much power as he wants!!! She sees him, she knows what he's doing... Mobei-Jun: Mobei-Jun doesn't really care about Shen Yuan at all - it's strange that Luo Binghe keeps fawning over him and Sha Hualing nods in approval every time it happens, but it's none of his business. Let this strange crow demon do what he wants, as long as he leaves Mobei-Jun out of it. However, he soon learns that Shang Qinghua is close with SY. The same SY who SHL respects for his faux-innocent flirting with every man who has a conversation with him. MBJ MUST KNOW EVERYTHING. He goes to fight for his right to court SQH, has a singular conversation with SY, and realises that SHL is overestimating SY and that the corvid deity is actually just That Oblivious. So, instead of trying to kill SY, he starts grilling him for details about what would make SQH love him. SY needs a drink. Linguang-Jun: Linguang-Jun hears of Shen Yuan - a new demon that can compete with Luo Binghe, and therefore destroy him!!! PERFECT for LGJ's plot to kill Mobei-Jun. He simply has to get SY on his side, which should be easy to do with his natural charm- he gets hit with the wifebeam. Nobody sees this coming, not even me, but he ends his "interrogation" (conversation) sighing dreamily at the power this heavenly demon holds so casually, without even batting an eye about all the people he has under his thumb. GOD, he wants him carnally (only SY could make this happen in a freak like LGJ). Meng Mo: MENG MO HAS HONESTLY GONE INSANE. HE WAS SENT INTO THE MIND OF SHEN YUAN TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THERE, BUT IT. IT MAKES NO SENSE. WHAT'S- WHO IS THIS FREAK. WHY'S HE SO NICE??? WHY ARE HIS THOUGHTS INSANE??? WHY DOES NOBODY FUCKING BELIEVE HIM WHEN HE SAYS THAT THIS IS A FUCKING WEIRDO WHO KNOWS FAR FAR TOO MUCH ABOUT EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING. THIS ISN'T JUST WHAT 'CROW DEMONS' KNOW. THIS IS SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY.

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.

...

List of Known Shens (as of posting):

Shen Yuan/Shen Qingqiu (The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System)

Shen Qiao (Thousand Autumns)

Shen Zechuan (Ballad of Sword and Wine)

Shen Wei (Guardian)

svsss idol au anon, if you’re still out there... i’ve thought about it.

brother duo bingge and bingmei. bingge raps and bingmei is a vocalist. they take over tianlang’s former agency after they get ousted from cang qiong. both of them have only one goal: get shen yuan to sign with them.

shen yuan is a soloist. shen jiu is part of co-ed idol group “peak lords” or “cqs” or “tian gong” or something of the sort (i’m not great at naming things) and resents shen yuan for making it on his own and hates the bingbros for many other but similar reasons. he manages to get the bingboys thrown out of their agency, enraging absolutely everybody but yue qingyuan. shang qinghua leaves the agency after a scandal involving the mobei group’s heir.

sha hualing is a solo rapper. liu mingyan and ning yingying are the most popular members of cang qiong’s most successful girl group whose albums i’ve got twenty copies of, each. meng mo is an old ballad singer who retired after growing disilusioned with the celebrity lifestyle and decided to help out the heavenly demons agency (again. bad at names) cause he’s bored. stylist six balls

What Dreams May Come

Shen Yuan dies from expired food

He doesn't exactly find himself in a new body, but his self-awareness doesn't exactly go away.

Instead, he finds himself bodiless in a dark void with nothing but his thoughts. He has so many thoughts that rage through him about how PIDW ended. He's actually more easily able to focus his anger at Luo Binghe's bad ending than at the fact that he died. With nothing to do but think, he comes up with hundreds of ways the story could have gone that would be more satisfying for his favorite Protagonist.

Eventually, he's not sure exactly when, he realizes that he can manifest visions from his thoughts into the empty space. Landscapes, beasts, swords, and eventually even people--though, unnervingly, it seems he can't do faces.

Things continue like this until one day, his little soap bubble dream world is abruptly popped, and he finds himself in the room of a lavish demonic palace. He still hasn't got much of a body beyond a wisp of smoke, but a pointy eared girl without shoes that he's pretty sure is Sha Hualing??? What the fuck??? Is yelling at him and calling him Meng Mo.

After she mentions releasing him to attack a boy that caught her eye, Shen Yuan (Or... Meng Mo, now) is PUMPED! Not only does he get to meet Luo Binghe, he gets to go and LIVE INSIDE HIM!

Jin Guangyao is Shen Jiu if airplaine had wrote Shen Qingqiu to be more than an one-dimensional villain. Before anyone asks what i'm smoking, i'm not talking about the characters' personalities themselves, i'm talking about it in a meta/fandom type of way. In scum villain, when questioned by Shen Yuan as to why the Og!Shen Qingqiu's backstory was scrapped from the story, Airplane pretty much said that he since he didn't want to redeem Shen Qingqiu he ommitted the backstory so his audience didn't annoy him for a redemption arc he had no interest in writting. Later on, in mdzs, MXTX wrote Jin Guangyao , a whore's son with a compelling backstory you can't help but root for and if not to at the least pity to some degree, and he happened to be the final villain questionably responsible for many crimes commited throughout the story (questionably bc MXTX loves her unreliable narrators) that the author had no desire to redeem despite many wishes from the audience
