Thinking of an Idea where Qing Jing peak and An Ding Peak disciples share talks about their Shizuns and theirs demon lovers.
All started in a conference with both head disciples:
Yue Qingyuan' disciple: "And about the new documentations of demon realm..."
Ming fan whispering to himself: oh this again?
An Ding head disciple: At this point I know more about demons than humans.
MF: ...
HD: ...
*Friendship acquired*
*Bonding over late workout hours and the underappreaciation they get from their Shizuns due to their demon husbands*
Guessing most other disciples start talking about their Shizuns and all the drama they have.
"Hey, can you um... barricade the wall of the bamboo house?"
"Again?!"
"They are doing it again! And it's too obvious it's hurting our ears! They aren't even being quiet about it!"
Suddenly another An Ding disciples goes like "Well that's probably not going to be their first time. Don't you remember when—"
"Shidi no."
They might bond over demon behavior.
"Okay so, don't fret but demons can tend to be a little possessive."
The Qing Jing peak disciple crying "Is that why I was hit with a vase? I didn't know bringing food to Shizun was going to cause Luo Shixiong to hit me !"
*An Ding disciple suddenly having flashbacks to the time he brought a comb as a birthday gift and was almost annihilated for no reason.* "They can be possessive."
It would have been fun to get to know how Binghe's Shidis would have all thought about this. Like watching their Shizun blossom from a kindhearted disciple to a demon lord!?! An Ding explain!
Meanwhile An Ding's youngest disciples are having a field day with their demon dad who decided to start dropping off more as of lately.
Imagine they also talk to other peaks about this.
Yang Yixuan: Pst, any tips on how to defeat demons?
Ming Fan: yes!
Liu Mingyang: Pst, any tips on how to defeat demons (in bed)?
An Ding peak disciple: Buckle up cuz this going to be long.
Eventually An Ding and Qing Jing sometimes get into husbando fights. Mostly between younger disciples who don't know any better.
"Shixiong is a much better husband! He cleans, he cooks, he sometimes even wants to help us practice our swordsmanship! That's a lot of generosity from Luo Shixiong!"
"Bullshit! Shizhang is much more careful about our Shizun! He brings a lot of gifts, takes us to the winter palace to learn, go to night hunts with us and we can play with his hair!"
Meanwhile the older disciples know that both demon lords are doing this to gain points with their husbands, it's no suprise. So instead of meddling with the demon lord and have their faces carved to be the next enemies, they decide to just respect the husbands as they are.
Also the whole guilt with some Shixiongs having bullied the husbands in the past. Qing Jing peak fears to its knees as it remembers the many times they bullied Luo Binghe, and if the demon now so much as looks at them they are instantly trying to find the nearest Shizun or Ning Shijie. And Ding peak disciples just have some awkward moments where they tried to stop Mobei Jun from getting inside An Ding Peak beacuse they thought he was finally going to kill their Shizun. The Head Disciple doesn't really care and just let it happen because she had too much work to do.
Female disciples having sleepovers and thinking how cool it would be to have their own demon husbands.
Ning Shijie is sighing at the back, wondering how Liu Mingyang got in too.
Can't help but think over how some shidis and shimeis would try to help Luo Binghe and Shen Qingqiu on their relationship.
"Shizun does have some work overtime but I can fill it in for the date if you wish Luo shixiong." And they just go off to hand it to an An Ding peak disciple who is already overworked because "Shang Shizun has been awake for three nights straight no you cannot ask why."
Every An Ding peak disciple is just already so used to the cold weather and other demons that at this point they call An Ding disciples whenever they have to deal with demons in the north. Though they still call the disciples as cowards and weakest of any peak they are, in fact, one of the smartest and strongest, most resistant to different weathers but usually don't show it because their occupations mostly rely on being cooped up in the peak or running errands for other peaks.
An Ding peak eventually gains a bit of respect after hearing the wedding of their Shizun.
Some younger An Ding disciple: wait, they weren't married?
Head disciple trying to keep face because she told them of it: it's their second wedding, they love each other so much you know.
Bonus of the An Ding disciples helping Mobei Jun make noodles while the head disciple takes care of Shang Qinghua and she is just with the most disappointed face after hearing the whole story of Mobei Jun's ascension and their get toguether.
OH
Another bonus of An Ding peak disciples and the demon generals or advisors of the mobei clan being friends because of their shared panic experience when SQH decided to bail out of nowhere.
Ohhhhhh
OHHHHH
WHAT ABOUT DEMON AN DING PEAK DISCIPLES!!!!

Liushen AU where SY transmigrates into SJ's older brother, and subsequently nopes them right out of the slavery backstory by using his general knowledge of the story and actually being an adult in a kid's body to just leave (basically) with SJ and YQ.
SY carts them both up to Cang Qiong for the next sect trials. It's actually not all that hard, the trickiest part is getting enough to eat and finding safe places to sleep between leaving the slavers and taking the trials (SY manages just barely, with considerable help from his new little brothers.) Nobody bothers to go after them because it's before Qiu Jianluo and this style of human traffickers mostly operate by virtue of their merchandise having nowhere else to go. Chasing down runaways is an expense not worth indulging, given that most of them either come straight back or die of exposure.
Anyway, they take the trials, and as expected YQY gets chosen to become a personal disciple for the sect leader, and SJ gets chosen by the Qing Jing Peak Lord, but also as (kind of) expected (by SY alone) nobody wants SY. He's older the Yue Qi, so too old, and unlike YQ and SJ his cultivation potential isn't striking enough to make any exceptions for him.
SY, however, can't leave it at that. He's spent more than five minutes with the street kid codependency gang, so he's gotten attached to both of them. And he knows what will happen if they're left to their own devices and The Plot proceeds accordingly. (Also, they keep threatening to not stay at the sect if SY doesn't stay too, for some reason.) So with a heavy heart and internal candle lit for himself, SY heads to Bai Zhan Peak. Which is the only peak that accepts disciples by way of them turning up and refusing to leave.
SY's not much of a fighter. He actually really hates the atmosphere on BZP, he's not bad at physical cultivation (his health's pretty good in this life, ironic considering how much worse his situation was) but the random ambushes and survival-of-the-fittest stuff is just not his brand. But that's okay, because it turns out that BZP actually DESPERATELY needs disciples on the actual peak who are interested in things other than fighting and cultivating their own strength. Stuff like, filling out requisition requests for An Ding every time things break, apologizing to An Ding every time things break again, organizing schedules, browbeating senior disciples into actually teaching, educating disciples on virtually any artistic or social skill, hosting lectures on how to beat vicious beasts without just overpowering them, and etc.
Okay so some of this stuff isn't and has never actually been on Bai Zhan's curriculum but Shen Yuan is going to make this place tolerable. And stop these children from needlessly getting acid burns or lyme disease or scurvy or whatever. He keeps internally chewing out Airplane for designing a sect system that means there are a lot of largely unsupervised 12-year-olds running around the wilderness on a mountain picking fights all the time. (When he actually meets Shang Qinghua and figures him out he switches to doing it in person, of course, in twice-monthly bitching sessions that look a lot like budding friendship.)
Of course one of the worst offenders is the Liu kid, who SY would suspect was actually raised by wolves if he didn't know for a fact that Liu Qingge has a younger sister, and also the kinds of nice clothing and letters from home that strongly imply not only does he have a family, but that the family is pretty well-off. Liu Qingge is at first deeply offended by SY being a BZP disciple. He rarely fights anyone, and uses tricks and evasion tactics whenever a fight can't be avoided. And he does other annoying stuff, like pestering him about meals and baths and lecturing him on identifying dangerous plants and the early signs of qi deviation. This is not what their peak is about! He should get with the program already! Just fight stuff until you're too tired to keep fighting stuff!
Also SY's younger brother, SJ, is pure evil (at least according to baby Liu Qingge) even though his other younger brother (?) is cool and nice.
Anyway, Liu Qingge stops complaining about SY after their first mission together, where Liu Qingge doesn't lose a fight but does get into a kind of pyrrhic victory situation where he's really badly hurt, and it's SY who helps him win (correctly identifying the monster and then pointing out its weakness) and takes care of him afterwards and gets him safely back to Cang Qiong. SY expresses surprise at LQG actually being polite to him, and LQG realizes that he's been a colossal ass if people think he wouldn't be grateful to someone who saved his life, so the usual Liushen dynamic proceeds from there. Liu Qingge starts bringing SY fans he leaves behind and hunts down animals that are supposed to be useful for bolstering weak cultivation, SY invites LQG to tea and keeps the critters as pets, etc etc.
SY doesn't get the Head Disciple position, because that's only acquired via beating the current peak lord in combat and lol no. Also he's not interested in stealing it from Liu Qingge, to whom it rightfully belongs (in his mind). But that's fine, because Liu Qingge takes the position when the next generation ascends and then he lets SY exclusively handle all the peak duties SY actually likes (mainly teaching). It's perfect -- Liu Qingge gets to focus on his War God antics and occasional administration/meetings without having to deal with students his has no patience for, but the disciples of BZP don't get neglected because SY is actually teaching and organizing classes and student care. BZP hasn't enjoyed a golden age like this since it was founded!
Things are pretty good overall, but Shen Yuan knows that it's only a matter of time before The Plot shows up, and so he can't rest completely easily.
Meanwhile, the will-they-or-won't-they bets on Liushen have been going strong for a while now. The thing is, most of their martial siblings are convinced that these two are already "together", and just being circumspect about it. Those who know SY well (like SJ, YQY, and SQH) know better but think that SY's romantic obtuseness is to blame, whereas those who know LQG well (LMY, WQW, and MQF) are pretty sure that it's actually LQG's obtuseness that's the problem. Of course it's actually both of them, so efforts to "fix" matters by getting through one of their thick skulls inevitably run afoul of the other's.
An additional complication is of course: SJ doesn't like LQG (mutual), and now that he's the leader of his own peak, he wants to poach SY to come and live there. Not only so he can have one of the 2 people he trusts actually close at hand, but also because SJ also hates actually teaching the atrocious little brats on his peak, and would like to have SY come and do it for him. YQY is still a total pushover for him too, and is also now the sect leader, so YQY agrees that SY can change peaks if SY and LQG both agree to it.
Liu Qingge, of course, is a no, but he's a variable "no". He's not going to hold Shen Yuan against his will or anything.
As for Shen Yuan, it's... complicated. He doesn't really like BZP, but it's gotten a lot better than it was at the start. These days he's actually pretty proud of his accomplishments, and it's more comfortable, but it's still a rough and rowdy place with fewer creature comforts, libraries, or other appealing points than QJP. Also, if he goes to Qing Jing to teach, he can personally ensure that SJ doesn't go around persecuting any of his students!
But... SJ never lived with the Qiu family in this AU, and even though SY's not totally clear on what the PIDW backstory for SJ was, he knows he's a better guy now than the scum villain in the book was. He has a reputation for making cutting remarks, not for being an abusive snake or a lecher. SY's honestly less worried about him doing anything bad at all, and there are other people on QJP who can teach. It might even be good for SJ to promote more people to fill out a social circle he can rely on! That guy needs more friends, seriously.
And QJP really doesn't need more layabout literary intellectual types who get into pointless arguments, which is all SY would be if he went there. Just yet another nerdy scholar for the rich kids with middling cultivation that the peak favors to ignore. At least on BZP he's filling a gap.
SY is clearly torn, and the fact that SY's considering it has LQG upset, and LQG doesn't handle being upset very well, so of course they have an argument about it. SY storms off to cool his head and LQG is like, this is it, he's gone to Qing Jing Peak, I've drive him off by being too aggressive and he's probably remembering all those times I told him he didn't belong here and oh no what have I done maybe if I build him a heated bath and get him books he will come back???
Turns out that SY just went to An Ding to vent at SQH while SQH was like "I think you would have fewer problems if you and Liu Qingge just got married and my disciples could call you Shigu to your face instead of behind your back" and SY threw melon seeds at him and sulked on his fainting couch (which is always cold for some reason...)
Thus begins the Liushen Divorce Arc where SY tries to be anywhere but BZP or QJP, Liu Qingge tries to figure out what thing he can punch to fix this not-punchable problem, SJ is like "I don't see what the big deal is they should break up Liu Qingge is awful and I want my brother to teach my classes for me" like the spoiled youngest sibling he's finally allowed to be, YQY is trying to moderate this Hades vs Demeter situation and is all "well maybe SY could spend half the year on QJP and half on BZP?", and Liu Mingyan is going "I know my brother if this doesn't work out he is going to die single and pining like an idiot" and so keeps conscripting other disciples to y'know, lock SY and LQG into storage closets together (ineffective: LQG can punch through walls) or at least get them in the same room (underestimating SY's willingness to yeet himself out of windows to avoid awkward social interactions.)
By the time Luo Binghe joins the sect (as a Qiong Ding disciple), the drama is in full swing and is the main topic of gossip across most of the peaks.
#svsss#scum villain's self saving system#liushen#long post#sy doesn't even realize lbh has already arrived until someone mentions 'luo-shidi' on qiong ding in passing#he nearly has a heart attack#why isn't this kid on qing jing peak?!#(why would he be on QJP now though?

Scum villain crack fic idea:
One or more of the peak lords switch places in time with their younger selves for like a week and basically decides to spend that time gossiping. “It’s so nice to be able to not hear Shen-Shixiong and his husbands causing another scandal” “An Ding is so much warmer without the King of the North in semi-permanent residence” “Have you heard of ‘The resentment of Chunshan?’”
This person just keeps dropping multiple bombshells and is low key revealing in the chaos. The current head disciples and previous peak lords are loosing their shit at the idea that not only is TLJ roaming free, the demon realm is united, HHP is run by a half demon, etc, but also that, at minimum two peak lords are married to demon royalty.
For comedic purposes I propose that this au includes as many peak lords as possible in some sort of human-demon relationship.
Minds are blown with the mention of SQH being both the King of the North’s Consort, but also advisor to the demon emperor.
SQQ the leacher is in a committed gay relationship with two men? With his Disciple?? Who is said Current Demonic Emperor?! And LIU QINGGE?!
Tianlang-jun and YQY’s relationship is like two divorcees who bond over missing their spouses. Do Not Separate that is his emotional support demon/peak lord.
QQQ and SHL become gossip buddies after she marries LMY.
MQF the doctor meets the ultimate snakeboy (anti venom!) who is Also part Heavenly Demon (ultimate cure all!!!!)(on Qiong Ding with his uncle) and decides he’s keeping him. A relationship originating from medical researcher & subject of research becomes an extremely close friendship. They are very done with everyone’s nonsense.
WQW and Six Balls are engaged.

AU where while Yue Qi is in seclusion after forcibly bonding with the most powerful sword, a new disciple becomes head disciple of Qiong Ding/ poses to become the next sect leader.
And… it’s none other than transmigrator Shen Yuan. Who very loudly doesn’t want the position but he’s forced into it after unfortunately showing some common sense after Yue Qi made the worse decision that permanently kicked him out of the running for Qiong Ding head disciple.
Dun dun dun…

Exposing SVSSS Fanon: 3/∞
CANG QIONG MOUNTAIN'S TWELVE PEAKS HAVE COLOR-CODED UNIFORMS
Rating: CANON
Fanworks will often depict the disciples of Cang Qiong Mountain's twelve peaks in matching, color-coded uniforms to each of their peak. This is not something that is often mentioned in the novel itself, but it is canonically accurate.
However, we do not know many of the peaks' signature colors. The fact that they do have specific uniforms in specific colors is canon, but many of the colors used in fanworks are, in fact, fanon.
In the text, only two peaks have canonically-designated uniform colors.
It is stated that there are set uniforms for all of Cang Qiong Mountain Sect's disciples:
Though the disciples on the peaks had to wear uniforms, there were also many acclaimed cultivators who weren’t subject to these restrictions...
and
Thankfully, on An Ding Peak, trivial matters like assigning rooms and uniforms to newly accepted disciples didn’t require the peak lord’s involvement.
and also a passage here:
Several hundred disciples in uniformly colored robes and furious expressions surrounded the invaders
In the original, the phrase "uniformly colored robes (服色统一)" could be read as all of Cang Qiong Mountain's disciples wearing the same-color uniform, but it could also be read that they were all dressed in uniform, as 服色 denotes both color and style of clothes (notable that "color" in Chinese is a more abstract concept than in English).
This passage isn't clear on its own, but there are other places where it is confirmed that the colors worn by the disciples of various peaks are different, and can be used to tell which peak a disciple belongs to:
[Shen Qingqiu] held his breath, attention rapt, and watched a youth in black rush out...
...The color of his robes confirmed that he really was from Bai Zhan Peak...
Aside from this, Qing Jing Peak's uniforms are the only others that are given a description:
Enveloped in Qing Jing Peak’s many-layered teal uniform, [SQQ] was immaculate and slender, with a great deal of graceful beauty.
While this passage describes the Peak Lord's attire and might not necessarily extend to the disciples, another passage shortly after this says:
A group of teal-robed boys and girls ran down Qing Jing Peak in a trailing conga line, one after another.
This confirms a uniform color used by the peak's disciples.
These passages, however, are the only ones which definitively state a uniform color for any of the twelve peaks-- meaning that we only know that Qing Jing Peak's uniforms are teal (青色）and Bai Zhan Peak's uniforms are black (黑色). Anything other than this is fanon and headcanon.
One more side note-- Luo Binghe is described as wearing white:
A seventeen-year-old youth, slim and tall and graceful, dressed in white robes
But this description only begins after the timeskip at the beginning of Chapter 4 (7S TL). Luo Binghe is, as of now, still a disciple of the sect, and thus would be required to wear a uniform. However, one important change had occured during this time-- Luo Binghe, at the time of the Immortal Alliance Conference, is Qing Jing Peak's head disciple.
The only time another head disciple's appearance is described is regarding Shen Qingqiu:
Shang Qinghua suddenly heard the tinkling of sword tassel pendants, and a youth wearing Qing Jing Peak’s uniform slowly approached him...
... His black hair was neatly tied behind his head with a light-green ribbon...
The color of his uniform is not stated, other than it being Qing Jing Peak's, and the "light-green" color of the hair ribbon is 青色，which is the same color translated as "teal" when describing QJP's uniforms above.
Therefore, one interpretation could be that head disciples of Cang Qiong Mountain's twelve peaks wear white uniforms with accessories in their peaks' designated color.
This, of course, is not explicitly canon and should still be taken as headcanon (I would categorize it as supported or neutral fanon on this blog).
However, the idea that the twelve peaks have each their own uniform colors, and that QJP's is teal and BZP's is black, are canonical facts.

Oh, terrible fun thought: what if the previous Qiong Ding Peak actually approved of Shen Jiu? Like, oh, this kid is driven and ruthless, why can't Yue Qingyuan be more like that and less soft-hearted?
Because I think Shen Jiu would hold this kind of approval over Yue Qi's head, not knowing what the Qiong Ding Peak Lord did to his head disciple. "Ha, you abandoned me for this cushy life and your own teacher likes ME more than you." If Shen Jiu had heard what Yue Qingyuan confessed to Shen Yuan at Mai Gu Ridge, I think he would have torn the previous Qiong Ding Peak Lord's throat out with his teeth.
MAYBE Yue Qi's imprisonment in the Ling Xi Caves actually saved his life and the previous Qiong Ding Peak Lord was a really nice person who tried his best in a terrible situation. That's totally possible. We just don't know. It's possible that Yue Qi's cultivation system was so messed up that destroying it and rebuilding was the only known option to save this kid's life. But a year of solitary confinement seems... incredibly cruel to me. Was that really necessary? It does sound as though he was at least visited, but it's unclear by who or how often.
But in any interpretation / AU where the Qiong Ding Peak Lord just sucks as a person, him actually LIKING Shen Jiu would be particularly painful. Ouch.
~
Relevant quote from Volume 3 of SVSSS (I cannot remember the chapter or the page numbers):
But Yue Qingyuan’s next words would shake Shen Qingqiu to the core. “I’m truly…sorry.” Even his voice trembled. “Even though I wanted to return as soon as possible, even though I wanted to come get you immediately…I made a mess of things instead. You were right. In the end, I’m an impulsive person…
“After that, Shizun destroyed all the tendons, bones, and meridians in my body, then shut me inside the Ling Xi Caves for more than a year. My entirety was broken down, to be rebuilt anew.
“I screamed, I yelled, but it was no use. For an entire year, inside that pitch-black cave, no matter how crazed I became, how hysterical, no one listened closely to what I said, no one let me out…
“I pushed myself as hard as I could, but by the time I returned, Qiu Manor had already been destroyed for some time…”

Good morning, I bring you another very nonsense SVSSS idea today.
Shen Yuan transmigrates as Shen Jiu's shizun. He has a System, but it really doesn't interfere with anything because what would it even do when Luo Binghe's parents haven't even met yet? Su Xiyan hasn't even been born yet.
So Shen Yuan has several really cool centuries to be the immortal master he really wants to be! Since nothing he has done affects the plot, he spends a lot of that time ignoring his disciples (he figures out in the first few decades that teaching is primarily the job of the hallmasters) and focusing on sightseeing and learning all about the flora and fauna of his least favorite webnovel world. He's considered a fine person, kind when he remembers to be present in the moment, but usually detached from worldly matters, which is not a bad thing for an immortal master pushing his fifteenth century to be, but it's to his detriment in some ways: he is both noble-born and beyond mortal weakness. Some of his modern sensibilities have definitely faded after such a long life in this world and by spending much of that time in the company of his nearly indestructible martial siblings. He's a master who does not wield the whip himself, but orders punishment with the ignorance of someone who has forgotten that to people who don't have more than a thousand years of cultivation, the whip does far more than 'sting a little'.
He still tries to speak up about that whole matter with the boy and the sword and the cave. He knows a plant that could help the boy without all this breaking-every-bone nonsense, but that's the first time his System intervenes and stops him. He assumes the kid would have been someone who could have opposed Luo Binghe eventually so he's fated to die instead and lets the matter go. If anything, he's more excited that the System finally made a move, because that means they are nearing the time when Luo Binghe will appear! He doesn't follow the incident and he's daydreaming about a rare beast he discovered on his latest trip when his shixiong announces the appointment of his succeeding disciple, so he completely misses that Yue Qingyuan survived the cave.
During the fated Immortal Alliance Conference he's too busy checking on his own disciples to be of any help in resolving the incident with Shen Jiu, so the sect leader (who is getting really tired of how unreliable his 'sect strategist' is) dumps the semi-feral orphan on his peak as punishment. Shidi likes wild creatures, right? Here's a wild creature for you, have fun making a man out of him.
Shen Yuan doesn't make the connection between Shen Jiu, prickly street kid, and Shen Qingqiu, peerless immortal with a rotten personality, because he falls into the group of readers who assumed Shen Qingqiu was a noble young master. Shen is a pretty common name, after all. He gives the kid some remedial lessons - in reading, writing, etiquette, the arts, etc. - gives him some encouraging words and then leaves the kid to his own devices once it's clear that he doesn't need coddling. He's a tough cookie who can handle himself and besides, the good-natured head disciple from Qiong Ding keeps coming over to check on him, so he already has other support! His shizun hovering over him and favoring him too much would just make him a target and this kid has gone too through much already for him to do that to him.
They hear the first rumors about Tianlang-jun around the time when his shixiong finally starts to bully him about picking a new head disciple, so Shen Yuan makes a timeline in his head: if Tianlang-jun is really doing the part of sightseeing young master in the human world (which Shen Yuan has personally confirmed) then it should take him a few decades to grow bored of it all, sour on the experience and then go and do the attempted world-conquering he gets mountained for. So he should have at least fifty more years before he has to worry about that nonsense, right?
There's still no sign of young master Shen on his peak (goddamn master Airplane, was Shen Qingqiu really so young during PIDW?! A cultivator under a hundred should not be given a position of authority like that, they are barely an adult! The other future peak lords keep popping up around the sect already, so no wonder he was so paranoid of his position, being decades younger than everyone!!) so he promotes his no-longer-openly-feral Shen Jiu as head disciple in the meantime, because that kid is an overachiever like no other and by far the most competent of his disciples.
Then, in the blink of an eye, he is prompted to give Shen Jiu a courtesy name as his succeeding disciple (how did this happen?! This much-abused feral cat is not the one who should be here, System!!).
And the System finally gives him an order he can't refuse: Shen Jiu is to be named Shen Qingqiu. It all starts to break apart at that moment, his leisure and detachment coming back to bite him where it hurts the most.
Shen Yuan announces the name and watches as his head disciple's eyes flash with hurt and betrayal before his mask slots back in place (he never bothered to investigate deeper into Shen Jiu's past than what the boy shared willingly, but now he goes digging. He traces Wu Yanzi's tracks, interviewing ghosts along the way until he reaches the ruins of the Qiu residence and learns of the horrors that went down there. Please forgive your master, A-Jiu! He did not mean to saddle you with the name of your abusers!).
He tries, in those last few, desperate years to be better for the future scum villain, but it feels like it's too late already (the immortal master came back to earth from his unreachable cloud, but it's too little too late). Shen Qingqiu doesn't trust him, he doesn't trust anyone except himself (Shen Yuan is the greatest expert of beasts in the world and he can see the marks of a cornered, crippled tiger in every move Shen Qingqiu makes. His head disciple is angry and terrified and it's his fault that he never helped to make it better.) his relationship with his martial siblings is horrible and he has learned all the wrong lessons from his time on the mountain (because Shen Yuan, spoiled and absent, failed to teach him better).
Shen Yuan watches helplessly as things spiral out of his control (he knows Tianlang-jun couldn't possibly have wanted to conquer anything yet, but his System shuts him up when he wants to speak. He's the one who creates the array, he's the one who puts the final nail in the coffin of a man and his beloved, all for the crime of loving the wrong person). His shixiong gets severely wounded in the fight and they arrange a very hasty ascension before he could perish from his injuries.
He hopes that ascension would make things easier to bear. He has waited for so long, planned to lean back and enjoy PIDW from a front row seat after a life spent playing his part to perfection.
It's so much worse than he could have ever imagined. The System plays one last joke on him and appoints him god of secrets, so he gets to see everything that goes on in the sect. He's already familiar with Luo Binghe's PoV from PIDW, but now he gets to see Yue Qingyuan (clutching his sword and drinking down potions to dull the pain of his ruined body with every meal, screaming himself hoarse for Shen Jiu every night in his nightmares) and Shang Qinghua (walking the high wire of terror and overwork, System window hovering over him with threats of death if he so much as twitches wrong) and Shen Qingqiu, always Shen Qingqiu who keeps spiraling into bitter cruelty with every mocking word he pretends to ignore, every impassable bottleneck and almost-fatal qi-deviation.
When Shen Qingqiu almost succumbs to one of his deviations that leaves him unconscious with a high fever for days he finally breaks and begs the System to let him do something. Shen Qingqiu has grown up to be exactly the kind of scum he was in the story, but for all that he wants to smack him every time he does something shitty, Shen Yuan has grown to care for his horrible, almost-feral tiger of a disciple. He doesn't want him to live the fate of the scum villain, but as a god he's not allowed to act. He will do anything, System! Anything!!!
The next thing he knows, he wakes up as Shen Qingqiu. It's his chance to change fate for the better, but if Shen Yuan is in the body, then where is Shen Jiu??? His soul is in storage and the System will magnanimously allow him to buy him back to life and give him a second chance for all the B-points he amassed over his long life. It's a choice between getting Shen Jiu back or keeping the points as an emergency save that would allow him to return to his previous role if things go wrong.
It's hardly a difficult choice, isn't it?

hi. we're back to svsss again. i read Asymptotical's Many an Ill to Cure yesterday. There was this line that sort of caught in my head:
If this bit of lore was true, then Yue Qingyuan was married to Shang Qinghua of all people, and that was about the only matchup he could think of that was possibly worse than pairing Shen Qingqiu with Liu Qingge.
and my brain.... ran with it. not for very long, because i really don't have a GREAT grasp of these characters and also i should absolutely be doing something else. but here you go.
At the ripe old age of twenty-something, Shang Qinghua had successfully lied and cheated his ass off to become the An Ding Head Disciple. It absolutely didn't mean his troubles were over -- it was still An Ding, and An Ding always meant backbreaking work, no matter how high up you climbed, and haha also there was still the entire fucking plot left. But at least he had a really nice house now! At least people had to pretend to respect him! At least the System wouldn't keep that fucking countdown clock in the corner of his eye about how he had X months to make Head Disciple before it nuked his brain into a crisp!
Overall, things were going about as great as could be expected!
Except for, you know, this... this one little thing.
"What???" Shang Qinghua said, when Shizun had first lobbed it at his head.
The Lord of An Ding Peak looked askance at him. Shang Qinghua cleared his throat and tried again. "Begging this one's pardon, but... but could Shizun repeat that?"
"You'll be engaged to Yue Qingyuan," said the An Ding Peak Lord.
Yeah, that's what Shang Qinghua thought Shizun said.
FUCK!
This was his fault. Like, literally everything was his fault, seeing how he was effectively God, but this was a mistake that he didn't have to make! You could argue about the violence and the papapa, but in the end, he was speed-writing a stallion novel for money so he didn't starve.
But the engagement.
Airplane-Shooting-Towards-The-Sky had been trying to explain exactly why so many young, beautiful, cold cultivators were so eager to get with Bing-ge, even if they seemed to hate literally any other person ever. He'd eventually settled on the idea that in PIDW, even cultivators weren't truly respected as adults until they were married. In other words, marriage was a requirement! A spouse was a job position! Of course Bing-ge's wives would sell out for the best possible candidate, even if they were ambitious power-hungry snakes without a romantic bone in their body! Especially if they were ambitious power-hungry snakes without a romantic bone in their body!
In fact, even the Peak Lords of Cang Qiong did it! They were even married to each other! Even the Sect Leader! Haha, it wasn't so weird after all!
God. It would have been fine if he left it without explanation. It wasn't even like he kept the explanation -- no, he wrote it and forgot about it, just like how he did with half of the shit he wrote sleep-deprived and running on caffeine alone. And now he was stuck with this.
"Do you have any objections?" Shizun said, and then Shang Qinghua had to go noooo, of course not, Yue Qingyuan was a mighty and handsome cultivator who topped the unofficial rankings for most eligible bachelor on Cang Qiong for three years straight! How could this lowly Shang Qinghua possibly have any objections?
It was super lucky that Shen Qingqiu was too busy being engaged with Liu Qingge to murder Shang Qinghua for the affront.
Anyway, that was how Shang Qinghua had ended up here -- alone with Yue Qingyuan, sitting across from each other and drinking tea. There was a plate of delicately shaped cakes sitting between them that Shizun had heavily suggested Shang Qinghua should make. You know, to show off his culinary skills to his... his fiance.
“Shang-shidi," Yue Qingyuan said, turning a cake over in one hand. There was some muffled yelling in the background. Shen Qingqiu and Liu Qingge were clearly having a great time of their own scheduled courtship meeting session.
"Yue-shixiong," Shang Qinghua said. "Hi."
Yue Qingyuan's smile didn't waver. "These are very good," he said politely.
Of course they were good. Shang Qinghua wouldn't have been able to successfully suck up to Shizun if they weren't good. It had taken a lot of practice! And sabotage! Practice AND sabotage!
"Haha, thanks," Shang Qinghua said.
Faintly, an explosion sounded in the background. Yue Qingyuan's brows furrowed slightly. "Shidi," he said. "Could you perhaps open the door?"

Yue Qingyuan's trauma explains so much of his...everything, to me.
But I often come across people wondering why he didn't just tell Shen Jiu the truth. So here are the parts of the book that make me think trauma played a role in his silence.
From the scene where they first reunite:
Yue Qingyuan looked excited, his face flushed as he prepared to speak. But Shen Jiu opened fire first.
“You joined Cang Qiong Mountain?”
Shen Jiu couldn’t tell what Yue Qingyuan was thinking, but the excitement on his face faded a little. Indeed, his complexion paled.
“You’ve become Qiong Ding Peak’s head disciple? Not bad,” said Shen Jiu. “Why didn’t you come back to look for me?”
“I…”
Shen Jiu waited for some time, but the next words never came. So he said, “Why aren’t you saying anything? I’m still waiting. I’ve already waited so many years, after all. Waiting a little longer will be nothing.”
But how could Yue Qingyuan say anything?
Shen Jiu crossed his arms.
Finally, his waiting was rewarded with Yue Qingyuan’s quiet words: “Sorry. It’s Qi-ge who let you down.”
From the scene in the Lingxi Caves, where YQY helps SQQ through a qi deviation:
Shen Qingqiu suddenly felt that something was off about the hand Yue Qingyuan had on his back. Alarmed, he said, “What’s wrong?”
It was a long moment before Yue Qingyuan replied. “Nothing.”
Shen Qingqiu shut up.
He couldn’t see Yue Qingyuan’s expression where he stood behind him, but he could feel the hand passing him spiritual energy, and how it trembled slightly.
YQY is a calm and composed sort of guy, so I interpret these subtle emotional cues (his face paling, his hands shaking, his long moments of silence) as signs of internal distress whenever he has to remember his qi deviation.
SQQ is also the one who tends to disengage from conversations with YQY. SQQ removing himself from stressful situations is...far from the worst coping mechanism found in Scum Villain, to be fair. His distrust towards YQY is understandable from his perspective.
But still, it makes it difficult for them to have deep and personal conversations.
There's also this part of YQY's confession to Shen Yuan, and I think it shows some insight into his thought process:
“Just let me finish speaking, this one time,” Yue Qingyuan said resolutely. “As you always say, ‘sorry’ is nothing but an empty word, completely useless. I also never explained myself, but today I must let you hear, not to ask for your forgiveness or sympathy, but because if I don’t say it now…it will be too late.”
To me, the bit about "forgiveness" and "sympathy" implies that YQY is worried that revealing the truth is a selfish impulse. He doesn't want to confess the truth if it just means he's begging for pity...because he doesn't think he deserves pity.

The Winds May Change
requested by @corvus-attano on ko-fi
Fandom: SVSSS
Pairing: Yue Qingyuan & Shen Jiu
Summary: Newly-named head disciple Shang Qinghua realizes that the story has gone off-course when he notices that Yue Qingyuan and Shen Qingqiu are a lot more friendly with one another than they should be.
Words: 1.4k
Shang Qinghua, formerly known as the Great Master Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky, was facing a dilemma: the protagonist hadn’t even arrived yet, and things had already gone off-course from his original work!
It was hard to pinpoint where exactly the change had happened, and now he was swearing at himself up and down for not paying enough attention to certain individuals during his time on Cang Qiong Mountain’s periphery as a lowly outer disciple of An Ding Peak— he should have noticed that a defining relationship of one exceedingly important character had turned out to be completely opposite from the way it was supposed to be.
The character in question was none other than that endlessly unfortunate scum villain, Shen Qingqiu. Now, Shen Qingqiu had only a few key relationships in the original work. Most important, of course, was his bitter cruelty toward the protagonist, and second after that was his far more complicated relationship with Yue Qingyuan. There were a few others, such as his rivalry with Liu Qingge, but these were by far the most important.
It just so happened that now, the relationship he had with the future sect leader was all wrong!
In the original work, Shen Qingqiu was supposed to avoid Yue Qingyuan whenever possible, lashing out at him with verbal barbs when avoidance wasn’t an option. Even at Shen Qingqiu’s most courteous, the sect leader would only get a cold shoulder. Now, though, the magnets that should have repulsed one another had somehow been turned around— instead of chatter about how strangely distant Shen Qingqiu was from one who was said to be his friend, the gossip revolved around how irritating it was to see him constantly clinging to Yue Qingyuan’s side.
And that was literal. Shang Qinghua alone could recall several times where he’d seen Shen Qingqiu snatch Yue Qingyuan by the wrist and tug him along somewhere, and any time they were in the same place the two positioned themselves so closely to one another that they were practically touching. At this rate, they just ought to hold hands everywhere they went, rather than trying to uphold any slight semblance of cool professionalism.
The first time Shang Qinghua had heard the rumors of their strange relationship, he was positive he had misheard. After he became head disciple and encountered the two of them together more often, though, he realized that, shockingly enough, those rumors were spot-on.
Watching Shen Qingqiu lean over to whisper conspiratorially into Yue Qingyuan’s ear, followed by a pleased smile blooming across the future sect leader’s face, was enough to make Shang Qinghua’s head spin.
What was going on here?
These two were supposed to have nothing more than a painful past piled high with misunderstandings after misunderstandings, beyond any hope of reconciliation. Now, they were being friendly with each other— not just courteous, but friendly friendly. One might even say intimate.
Shang Qinghua interrogated the system about this, but no matter how he tried, he never received an answer— the closest he got was [ Occasionally, there may be variables in the story beyond this system’s control. Good luck! ]
There was still no clue as to why or how these variables existed, and unfortunately, Shang Qinghua didn’t have much of a way to find out. It wasn’t like he could just ask— even though this Shen Qingqiu was friendly with Yue Qingyuan, his manner with the rest of his martial siblings was roughly the same as it was in the original. No matter how many sweet nothings he might whisper into his shixiong’s ear, there was no way that Shang Qinghua would get anything more than a distasteful curl of his lip.
How miserable it all was— if Shen Qingqiu’s character was already going to change, couldn’t he have become just ever so slightly easier to get along with?
Shang Qinghua wasn’t the only one who had problems with Shen Qingqiu’s behavior, of course. Even though this one might be a little better-tempered overall than the one in Proud Immortal Demon Way, he was still almost universally disliked. He still was Shen Qingqiu, after all, still the scum villain even if he’d managed to repair one particular relationship. That brought Shang Qinghua a little bit of relief— at least he shouldn’t have to worry about the story veering off too far from his original designs, so he would still have some idea what to expect.
Still, he was greatly curious about the change, so he always paid special attention to the gossip and complaints regarding that problematic shixiong.
“Who does that Shen Qingqiu think he is?” Qi Qingqi huffed, scuffing at the ground with the toe of her shoe as she sat next to the campfire Shang Qinghua had just finished lighting. “Just because he’s close with Yue-shixiong, that doesn’t give him the right to treat the rest of us like the dirt on his shoes.”
The two of them, along with Liu Qingge, were out on one of those tedious joint missions. It was Shang Qinghua’s first time going out with either of them— he had only ever met them at the twelve peaks’ annual tournament before, and briefly while doing odd jobs here and there. He had to admit, he couldn’t help but wonder about this pair’s opinions of the new-and-(perhaps)-improved Shen Qingqiu. In the original, Liu Qingge had been the one the scum villain hated most of all, while Qi Qingqi’s relationship with him hadn’t been too bad, all things considered.
Now, it seemed she tolerated him less than before. Of course, in this version it probably seemed that Shen Qingqiu had taken advantage of his past connection with Yue Qingyuan to parachute into the position of his future second-in-command. Qi Qingqi didn’t really think kindly of that sort of person.
“He has a little talent, but his personality makes me want to hit him,” Liu Qingge replied.
Oh? How interesting… this was far more generous than Liu Qingge ought to be at this time. Shang Qinghua listened in more closely as he worked to set up their tent.
“It’s not as though he is the best cultivator among us,” Qi Qingqi grumbled, “It’s all because he’s friends with Yue-shixiong that he can get away with his attitude… and he knows it.”
“Mn,” Liu Qingge replied, setting some fish he’d caught to roast over the fire. “You can’t say it’s all favoritism. Shen-shixiong is good with his sword and his cultivation is decent, especially for someone who only started practicing at fifteen. Maybe you should fight with him, then you’d get to hit him properly.”
Shang Qinghua was so stunned by this that he missed the tent pole and smashed his hammer into his finger. He yelped, dropping the hammer and cradling his injured hand against his chest. The other two glanced briefly in his direction before ignoring him once again.
Had Shang Qinghua heard that right?
Fifteen?
No… he distinctly remembered writing that Shen Qingqiu had joined the sect at sixteen.
Unless…
Ah!
How had that happened? Shang Qinghua was sure he hadn’t interfered in any of that!
Not to mention, what was with Liu Qingge’s attitude? Even calling Shen Qingqiu “shixiong” when he wasn’t around— did they really not hate one another to death this time?
“Shen-shixiong was fifteen when he joined the sect?” Shang Qinghua asked, hiding his nosiness behind idle curiosity.
“Oh right, Shang-shixiong was still an outer disciple then— Yue-shixiong showed up one day with him and recommended him to Qing Jing Peak. Yan-shibo hadn’t chosen her successor yet, and Shen Qingqiu ended up with the title less than two years later,” Qi Qingqi explained.
“And… Liu-shidi, what do you think of him?”
“He nearly beat me in a fight once,” Liu Qingge replied.
That alone was enough to cause Shang Qinghua’s jaw to nearly drop to the floor— he could barely restrain himself. This wasn’t the way things were supposed to go! No wonder Shen Qingqiu didn’t seem quite as miserable as Shang Qinghua had first envisioned him. His greatest rival, who thought almost nothing of him, now spoke of him with about as much respect as Liu Qingge ever showed. Not to mention, if Shen Qingqiu actually stood a chance of beating Liu Qingge, then that meant that his cultivation was much better than it was in the original as well!
Someone had changed the timeline. If Shen Qingqiu had come in at fifteen, that meant that the whole year he spent as Wu Yanzi’s disciple had been skipped over. If he was close with Yue Qingyuan… had something changed there? Had Qi-ge actually managed to come back in time? Had Shen Jiu been rescued before he had the chance to kill his old master?
If that was the case, then the accusations brought against him wouldn’t stand in this timeline. Fuck— an entire plotline with one of Bing-ge’s wives might have been messed up, not just the revenge plot!
But… didn’t that mean that Shen Qingqiu may not meet the same fate as he had in the novel?
Shang Qinghua bit his lower lip, hardly daring to hope. All this time, the system had made it perfectly clear that he couldn’t go too far outside the bounds of the story— but it seemed like the story was being changed with or without his meddling. He’d never thought he had a chance to make it out of this alive… but if even Shen Qingqiu’s fate could be changed, then who could say that Shang Qinghua’s would have to stay the same?

In the Moshang Wing!AU, what are the other peak lords reactions to SQH's wings? How are they revealed? (Will it be a dramatic reveal, eg. Rescuing his disciples or protecting non-cultivators from demons?) What are other people's reactions? I both want and don't want to know the OPM's reaction to SQH's wings. Creep.
Are you giving him red-crowned crane wings like @mediumsizedpidegon suggested, or are you sticking to the typical angelic white?
Every time I get an ask about Wings!Moshang AU I go feral and come out the other end with so many muse for this 😫is it a curse
—
When head disciple Shang Qinghua is reported missing, there are no alarms raised on Cang Qiong Mountains.
After all, is there any point? He has gone missing before. The first time was before he was ever even an inner disciple of An Ding. It’s a pattern, it’s a habit — it’s become a characteristic of his.
In the beginning, of course there had been worry, concern, scolding. However, as the years climbed onward, one truth became apparent to everyone, and it was this; if Shang Qinghua was missing, he would not be found.
Each and every time, no matter how long it takes, he always comes crawling back on his own.
No amount of search parties dispatched would would ever find a single clue as to his whereabouts. After a decade of failures, they just stopped trying.
Perhaps such a circumstance might make some suspicious. Spies amongst the sects are not unheard of, after all, and Shang Qinghua’s regular disappearing acts would go hand in hand with such a position.
Yes, the idea was brought up more than once in some meeting or other, though in the end nothing much was done about it. This was because they could all eventually agree on one thing — that Shang Qinghua did not have the temperament of being a spy.
He is a people pleaser. The type of disciple that would scramble with desperation the second he got it in his head that something might be expected of him. That didn’t change much after he became a head disciple, which might make some sneer at him, but to others it was almost endearing.
Someone like that would not have the ability to even encounter the thought of turning coat to serve another side.
And so Shang Qinghua was left to his devices, disappearing from the sect and then reappearing later with barely anyone batting an eye beyond some frustration of certain forms and reports being left untouched in his absence. Deadlines did have to be kept, after all, no matter the strange habit.
Which is why no one questions it when Shang Qinghua missed a head disciple meeting. He’s missed them before, and it had only been three days since he was last seen on his peak. He’s never been gone for more than a week. With no important matters being discussed, anything that might concern him was simply pushed to the next meeting and this one concluded without him. Business continued as normal within the mountain sect.
It was his subsequence absence at said next meeting that finally managed to raise a few eyebrows.
Head disciple meetings are a biweekly affair, wherein all twelve head disciples gathered to discuss the running of the different peaks and talk business. They are preliminary meetings to the peak lord meetings that they will be conducting in the future, once the current peak lords ascend.
For Shang Qinghua to miss not only one, but two of such meetings, with no report of him being seen anywhere in the sect between them, is to say that Shang Qinghua has been missing for over two weeks. Twice as long as he has ever been gone before.
The subject of the second meeting leaned more toward discussing the possible whereabouts of the head disciple of their fourth peak rather than anything else. The debate was inconclusive, and the meeting adjourned with more questions than answers.
After all, when Shang Qinghua has disappeared, he cannot be found until he choses to return.
The pressure of being a head disciple, it was theorized, must be getting to him. Running away to escape the demands of the position, even for a little bit, is nothing to frown at. Sometimes we all need room to breathe.
And, in the end, no matter how long he is gone, he always returns.
This time he is gone for longer, but nothing is done. He is their brother, they say, and they have to trust that he will come back as he always has.
Another week goes by with no sign of the missing head disciple. It’s here that worry finally begins to get the better of them. Was their trust misplaced after all? Did something… truly happen, this time?
Or, was something happening each time, every time he was gone, and he never told anyone, and none of them ever noticed?
They can do nothing but make guesses. It’s a powerless feeling. They are disciples of a powerful cultivation section, but not even their search talismans are working. Which has always happened when someone tries to find Shang Qinghua after he’s disappeared, but it’s nonetheless disheartening that it still doesn’t work now, when something might honestly be wrong.
They go to their peak lords, who lend hand in the search. Just as before, though, there are no results. Shang Qinghua cannot be found, and it would be damn impressive if it wasn’t so worrying.
They can only wait.
It’s a few days before the third biweekly meeting that Shang Qinghua finally does crawl his way back to the sect.
The reason for his disappearance this time not a single one of them could have ever guessed correctly even if they’d been given hints. It’s something that would have never occurred to them even at their most imaginative.
After all, this is Shang Qinghua they’re talking about. Small, cowardly, somewhat reliable but not exactly trustworthy, never the strongest. Out of every cultivator in China, he’s the last one anyone would have thought this could happen to.
His return is abrupt and with no little drama. He appears directly in Mu Qingfang’s hospital office, the torn remnants of a teleportation talisman clutched in bloodied fists. He’s curled in on himself, robes as red as his hands and clearly injured. There’s blood all over him, coating his limbs and his face, even his—
— wings.
My Qingfang gapes. Unprofessionally, it takes him far too many lengthy moments to gather himself together, and when the implications of what’s happened finally hit him, the head disciple of the medical peak goes deathly pale.
This brother of his, this small and shy and flighty shixiong. This seemingly subpar cultivator whose faithfulness to the righteous path and their own sect has been ruthlessly questioned by even himself like the rest of their martial sibling again and again.
He’s grown wings. He’s been gone for three and a half weeks and in that time he has grown wings.
Mu Qingfang scrambles to kneel next to his shixiong, hands raised but not touching Shang Qinghua’s huddled form. He can see that he is trembling from the pain, and it is no wonder — three weeks; his blood congealing and already dried in places. His face beneath the red is paler than a ghost.
The — wings, are tucked in tightly against his back, and they twitch and spasm with his pain and discomfort. They’re unkempt and dirty and shivering. Mu Qingfang can’t even see what color they are beneath the grime.
Goosebumps prickle at Mu Qingfang’s skin, raising the hairs on the back of his neck as he stares at the wings, then at his unresponsive shixiong. He finally places a hand on Shang Qinghua’s shoulder, and Shang Qinghua flinches away from him.
Mu Qingfang swallows. He lunges up from the floor and shouts for his aids, his peak lord, anyone.
Three weeks. Missing. Presumably alone the entire time.
Wings.
He’s be surprised if Shang Qinghua managed to keep his sanity, after all this.

As for the other questions… you’ll have to wait and see :3

SV AU where after Shen Qingqiu's self-destruction and apparent death, Luo Binghe decides to pursue a time travel option after several resurrection attempts come up short.
Said time travel option sadly isn't customizable. It's an unstable time vortex that can only take the traveler back a fixed 30 years into the past. In PIDW, by the time Bingge found it, he had already ruled his kingdom for centuries and it was only used as part of a wife acquisition plot. So going back thirty years didn't make much of a difference to him. In Bingmei's case, thirty years might be further than he'd choose to go, but it will get him back to a point in time when his Shizun is still alive. This is the most important thing.
He'll have to reintroduce himself, and carefully rebuild a relationship, but at this point that might even be for the best. This time he will successfully disguise his demon heritage. He'll greet Shen Qingqiu as an equal and potential friend and ally, fix all of his past mistakes, and make everything right! Though he realizes during the planning stages that he's still assuming at first that he'll meet Shen Qingqiu as Qing Jing Peak Lord because in Luo Binghe's head, his shizun must have been on Qing Jing Peak for a hundred years at least. Intellectually, though, he knows that the Qing generation of peak lords didn't ascend until like 20-ish years ago, which means he's more likely to be meeting Shen Qingqiu as a disciple.
Which is a mind trip! That's very bizarre for him to contemplate, actually! Shizun might even be younger than him! But it's still his best chance at getting his shizun back, so in the end it doesn't deter him.
The System, of course, isn't interested in losing its power source. So it goes along for the temporal journey, and drags along its users.
Shang Qinghua is very confused to wake up and find himself 30 years in the past, once again the Head Disciple of An Ding Peak instead of its lord, with a young Mobei Jun glowering at him for daring to pass out randomly in his presence.
Shen Yuan is very confused to wake up alive, back in the bamboo house, with Yue Qingyuan hovering at his bedside and telling him about a qi deviation -- wait, did he reset his entire transmigration somehow? But then, why does Yue Qingyuan look so young? Dressed like a disciple, no less! And why are they in the side room of the bamboo house instead of the main one...? Who dared redecorate Binghe's room?! Questions that will have to wait because a moment later, the disembodied voice of the original goods is screaming in his head, accusing him of being a demon who has snatched his body! What the heck is "system error: double occupancy" supposed to mean?!
Luo Binghe thinks he knows what to expect by the time he makes it to Cang Qiong mountain (after a brief detour to visit a certain washerwoman and gently trick her into eating a miraculous medicinal pill + taking a ton of money off of him).
But as with most things in his life, it doesn't go according to plan.

i keep wondering about the world-building in svsss. Head disciple means the next peak lord, right? Then who was Qiong Dong's head disciple, and who was An ding's? How were they decided? Like a lot of fics have Bai Zhang's head disciple decided by winning against the current peak lord. Does that mean LBH is eligible? And at LBH as a topic, how many people were upset when a washerwoman's son was made head disciple, and when Shen Jiu was? Didn't xuan-su's bond with Yue Qingyuan make him ineligible? Coz this shit is utterly fascinating. Like the political implications of having a future prime minister or a consort study at qing jing, prince's studying at Qiong Dong. Were they give special status? Where are the answers, your honor??? 🤔

Nie Huaisang, Lan Xichen, Jin Guangyao, and Nie Mingjue all reincarnate together into PIDW, and become disciples around the same time as Luo Binghe.
The drama of this is of course enhanced by the facts that NMJ & JGY died "early," but NHS & LXC lived to the end of their natural lives as cultivators, and so some of their perspectives and opinions on events have naturally changed with age. (tfw the passage of time renders you unfamiliar to your once-loved ones)
Eventually they talk about their feelings and reconcile and such, and this ends up derailing the plot of PIDW severely as the rest of the PIDW characters confusedly observe quite possibly the weirdest disciples Cang Qiong's ever seen
NMJ on Bai Zhan, with no clue what's going on because he died first and NHS & LXC haven't told him anything
NHS on An Ding, thoroughly enjoying what's pretty much a vacation to him at this point and possibly running an interpeak illicit goods market (definitely not to distract himself from any of the emotions having NMJ & JGY alive and nearby would be causing him, Everything Is Fine) I haven't decided if he'd get involved with the whole og!SQH and MBJ situation tho
LXC on Qiong Ding, because I feel like he'd see himself in Yue Qingyuan and lowkey hate him for it and I think that could be interesting
JGY on Qing Jing, because he's the objectively the funniest/most interesting character to throw into the mess that is SJ and LBH. The way I imagine it, he's doing the most direct derailing of the plot, because he mostly accidentally gets right in the middle of the thing that is going on between those two
I feel like as I wrote this it became more serious than I originally intended so just know that I'm mentally picturing this like a fic that's interspersed with outsider POV of the 4 of them being completely deranged about eachother
(Also I'd feel bad taking away LXC's brother so LWJ and WWX + friends are busy doing hot girl shit being rogue cultivators. I think WWX should be a half demon so he gets to keep the cultivation and steal some of LBH's protagonist energy. If this was a fic then the rest of the Untamed gang would be perfect to use for side characters during off-peak missions)
*grabs popcorn and sits down to hear more*
Nie Huaisang is having too much fun waiting the two idiots called his shizun and shizun's poorly kept secret of a boyfriend go flailing around on these terribly unromantic dates BUT THE TWO WERE TRYING SO HARD that it was cute. He wonders if he should do something to help the poor idiots out... Should he?
Maybe he should...
(Watch Shang Qinghua and Mobei Jun suddenly have a number of sex pollen accidents over the next few months....)
Lan Xichen would be an old man and a good voice of reason for Yue Qingyuan. Although he's head disciple and a very good one at that (if only because his Big Brother instincts can't be held back and he MUST interfere to help prevent history repeating once more), Lan Xichen has made it very clear that he would never accept becoming sect leader.
Also don't forget Liu Mingyan in the background writing about a 4 person sex orgy. At least, that's her personal theory for why there's so much UNRESOLVED TENSION between these four sus male disciples. And also, because it's fun.
It's even funner when you consider that Nie Mingjue is out of the loop of Cang Qiong stuff even on Bai Zhan because he tags along on so many of Liu Qingge's missions that he's probably spending like 8 months of the year outside of the sect.
(Nie Huaisang gets "assigned" to missions that happen to take place near Nie Mingjue's hunts.)
Meng Yao is Meng Yao and he still craves the approval of Male Authority Figures That Could be his dad. Also Meng Yao still likes to climb up the social hierarchy and power. AKA Luo Binghe growing mushrooms in the corner at seeing ANOTHER QING JING disciple THE SAME AGE AS HIM being given SO MUCH ATTENTION AND APPROVAL by shizun.
Luo Binghe develops a complex over Meng Yao of course.
(Shen Jiu approves of Meng Yao because he understands these characters very well and know how to manipulate (cough kill or injury them physically or mentally) them easily. Plus Meng Yao is actually competent.)
