Shen Jiu: This is Shen Yuan, my brother

Yue Qingyuan: I don't remember you having a brother?

Shen Jiu: Well you also forgot to come back to me, so clearly your memory can't be trusted!

Yue Qingyuan, crying internally: Of course, sorry Xiao Jiu

Freshly Transmigrated Shen Yuan: ...nice to meet you? This is awkward

"Get up," Wu Yanzi snapped and kicked him in the ribs.

Shen Jiu was up immediately. "What's -"

happening?, he started to ask before Wu Yanzi shushed him and dragged him into the woods.

Well apparently the remaining servants from Qiu Manor aren't about to show up and kill them both. Why were they traipsing through the woods though?

He was collecting himself to ask again when they arrived.

There's a massive shiny black box jutting out of the ground. It's easily as big as a house but Shen Jiu somehow knew instinctively that it wasn't a building at all.

Wu Yanzi lead him around to the back of the strange black box- where there was a jagged hole in the shiny black material.

"There's something in there," Wu Yanzi said. "I can sense it- go see what it is!"

Shen Jiu obeyed, he was too tired to argue. He crawled into the hole. It was a tight fit, too tight for Wu Yanzi, but Shen Jiu was able to pull himself through the weird black material. From the outside it had looked like lacquered wood but inside there wasn't a grain, more like it was a metal or stone...

There's a glow ahead- and suddenly Shen Jiu was spilling out onto the floor of a strange room.

The whole room was a soft glowing grey, like the sky before dawn. It's cold in the room and the only features besides the crack he fell out of are a bright blue panel on the opposite wall, and words above it in black that say 'You must earn your ending'.

He approached the panel and recognized words on the glowing panel.

[BREACH IN NARRATIVE CONGRUITY DETECTED] it said. Below that were two rectangles containing more words. One said RESTART and the other said EDIT.

Were they switches? He prodded the closes one to see if it was raised-

"Edit Mode Activated!" a cheerful woman's voice said. "Identifying User..."

"Bing! User Identified!

Name: Shen Jiu (Qingqiu)

Role: Minor Antagonist (Scum Villain)

Fate: Dies Alone.

What would you like to edit?"

Dies alone. Shen Jiu felt his eyes water and rubbed at them furiously. So what? Even if this voice was telling the truth what of it? He knew he was a vicious unlovable thing, of course he'd die alone. Who would want him?

"What would you like to edit?" the voice repeated.

"What can I change?" he asked.

"All access editing currently available as protagonist has yet to arrive."

He didn't know what some of that meant but he got the idea. He could change almost everything.

"I-" his voice cracked and he cleared his throat. "I want to be safe, and I want to be happy, and I want to be loved."

[RECALCULATING....] the screen said.

"Please note," the voice said. "Some plot points are unavoidable. Nothing can be guaranteed. You must earn your ending."

There was a musical chime.

"One route found!"

Shen Jiu reached out and pressed the rectangle that said USE.

A red box popped up. [ROUTE REQUIRES REWRITE OF PAST DATA- PROCEED?]

How would you rewrite the past? ...It didn't matter. He pressed YES.

The blue screen dimmed until it nearly matched the other walls, numbers appeared on the screen in bright blue, counting down.

"Initializing..." the woman said.

His own skin was glowing, he realized. The light was gradually getting brighter and brighter.

"Past Rewrite Beginning. This Will Hurt."

"Wha-"

The light ripped him in two.

He was beside himself watching his past living his past again, but different this time.

He and Qi-ge begged at a corner he and Qi-ge and didi begged at a corner. The two the three of them curled up together to sleep.

It all happened again with a twin who was always by his side. Who never left even when the worst happened.

Didi kicked Qiu Jianluo when he grabbed Shen Jiu and the older man put Didi in a headlock as he dragged them both over to the slavers.

It all happened to him them. He gripped didi's hand so tight his nails cut into his hand leaving little bleeding marks. Didi hid his face in Shen Jiu's hair so he didn't have to watch.

Qiu Jianluo knew Shen Jiu would fold easier if he hurt didi- but this time he was mad, so mad. He didn't stop kicking didi even when Shen Jiu begged. When he jumped the older man he threw Shen Jiu back into a wall and kept hitting didi.

The sword clattered to the ground beside him...

He woke up flat on his back in that strange gray room.

"Rewrite Complete! Narrative Integration Complete! Congruity Restored!"

Shen Jiu turned his head and met his twin brother's eyes.

"Shen Yuan," he said.

"Shen Jiu," his twin replied.

"You didn't exist before now."

Shen Yuan shook his head. "I did but I wasn't here. I still remember it. Being not here. Being here."

"Me too." Shen Jiu said. He reached out and took his twin's hand.

Shen Yuan squeezed his fingers. "Will everyone remember both?" he asked.

"No," Shen Jiu said. "I think just us. I think everyone else will just remember you always being here."

They sat up and Shen Yuan leaned against him. He still had two black eyes and other fading bruises from where Qiu Jianluo had attacked him the final time.

They pressed their forehead together for the first time, like that had nearly every day of their lives.

"I don't know how this fixes anything though," Shen Yuan frowned.

You must earn your ending, the wall said.

"I do," Shen Jiu said. He hugged Shen Yuan close. "You make me so happy."

Shen Yuan grinned at him. "Well good. I suppose we'll have to figure out the rest."

Shen Jiu nodded. "I think we need to kill Wu Yanzi."

Shen Yuan sputtered. "I mean you're right gege, but it couldn't wait until we finish the hug?"

Teenage Mamajiu finding dragon (not sky dragon yuan) Yuan as a hatchling and secretly raising him.

It happens during disciple days, Shen Jiu doesn't recognize the egg as an egg at first, dragon eggs tend to look like large rocks to deter predators from snatching them away while the parents are out.

It's just a smooth looking rock that SJ takes notice of (It's directly in the pathway of one of his shortcut routes), nothing special. Until it hatches. See, in his disciple days Shen Jiu wasn't the most liked nor the most respected, is wasn't uncommon for select disciples to group up and chase after him--spewing some nonsense about honor for that brute Liu-whatever his name was. So currently, SJ--who is using his shortcut to escape from pursuit--stumbles across the egg in the midst of it's hatching.

When a slimey--snotty dragonling peeks its head up and starts chirping loud enough to give his location away, SJ can only scoop the entire egg up (much too light to be a rock now that he's holding it) and book it.

It's not easy to hide the fact that he has a dragon but SJ manages, climbing the ranks is far easier when there's a dragon helping him regulate his qi now.

When SJ becomes a PL there's no real reason to hide it anymore, however rather than drawing attention to himself and putting a target on his head, he allows SY to assimilate naturally--leaving traces of SY everywhere until LQG "Stumbles" on SY during the caves incident and is saved. (SY is huge btw)

From that point on it's known that CQMS has a DRAGON. SY enjoys his freedom in roaming across the peaks but always returns to Qing Jing peak (the pls assume that his nest is there but SY just loves his mama actually, even though he acts all snooty and standoffish and judgemental)

Anyways so SY is fond of LBH (and trying to change the story and his mama's fate) or whatever so when the whole demon thing happens (if SQQ somehow gets affected w/ without a cure) I'd like to imagine SQQ just standing in front of the demons, a manic glow in those green eyes of his as he closes his fan and points it at the demonic elder guy. These demons go wide eyed as a huge ass dragon descends from the sky, landing in front of SQQ defensively all snarls and spilling flames from its mouth.

that's as far as I thought but if sy's a cool dragon so is XF and at the immortal alliance thing SY and XF have a fight and SY accidentally breaks LBH's footing and dives into the abyss after him. XF is hurt because he wasn't expecting to fight another dragon and was caught off guard or something and idk

More of harpy mamayuan (here)

So SY gives SJ & YQ a part of his hunt and they’re so fucking scared. YQ pulls SJ behind him in like a desperate attempt to protect him but SY isn’t paying attention he’s too busy hauling the moose over to the stream to clean off all of the dirt ‘n stuff.

SJ & YQ are mighty confused and aren’t sure whether to run or.. eat..? The raw moose limb… So they kind of stand there, somewhat petrified of the giant beast that is SY. After cleaning his kill SYhas the heart to look back and check if the children are still there before he eats (he can get a little scary while he eats so he wants to avoid traumatizing any kids) and they’re kind of just standing there in front of the bloody leg, looking at SY with wide eyes.

SY’s like “oh my god these are not baby animals these are human babies, their teeth can’t rip apart moose hide, they can’t eat raw meat like this?!” So SY tells them to stay before stepping across the stream and walking further into the woods—heading to his humble nest where he pulls out a few of “the shinies” that he’s picked up. When he walks back SJ and YQ are STILL there, they don’t think they can outrun SY so it’s probably better to listen what he has to say for now.

Anyways SY drops off the shinies (which happen to be valuable gems that he finds while wandering around) and shoos them off, telling them to go get some more bread or something. Well SJ & YQ aren’t dumb so they grab whatever they can carry (not much, the gems are pretty huge xd) and start heading to town. Or well, they try to, SY thinks about how deep into the forest his nest is and how long it’ll take them to get out on foot and he’s like “actually I’ll fly you to the border.”

Which turns into “What are you wearing! It’s the end of winter and those aren’t warm clothes at all!!” with SY bringing out the clothes of people that had died in the forest. (Yikes, but still warmer than the scraps of clothes) It only takes a single talon swipe to adjust their size to fit the kids. After they’re bathed (in the river) & clothed SY’s like “hmm… Well if I were to let you leave now people will associate you with me, why don’t you stay the night?” With SY tucking them into the softest part of his nest and settling down next to them, covering them with his wings for warmth. It’s really hard for SJ & YQ to sleep but the fact that SY falls asleep before them definitely helps.

In the morning they marvel at the fact that the harpy didn’t eat them and are pleasantly surprised when SY returns (they didn’t know when he left, nor that he could fly so quietly) carrying a bunch of sweet fruit. Most of which they’d never tried (sellers usually pick the best ones in the surrounding area and SJ & YQ didn’t have the means to venture further in the forest).

SY allows them to eat breakfast (they think it’s a trap but still scarf down the food because what do they have to lose) before he picks them up and flies them to the border. SJ & YQ are kind of stunned because they’ve been clothed, bathed, fed, slept in a warm place, and given a source of income.

They feel like things are unreal but still make their way back to the town where—shockers they’re robbed by older people xd… So they impulsively return to the forest and get saved by SY again—who’s like “You two again? Why are you back?” And then going “hm well if you guys don’t want to go back then I suppose you can stay with me” thus starting the adventures of the three of them :]

Until SY has to migrate for the winter and sends them to town with enough money to survive (he’s learned from his ways and secured a bit of coin for them). Then the whole capture and enslaved thing happens and this time, YQ runs to the forest to look for SY one last time (because it’s nearing the end of winter and SY is supposed to be returning soon) and SY’s descending right as YQ’s hope is about to extinguish, landing right behind Yue Qi and nudging him with a wing.

“What happened? A-Qi why do you cry? Where’s Xiao-Jiu”

Anyways BLA BLA YQ RIDES ON SY’S BACK TO THE MANOR AS THE HARPY LANDS ON THE ROOF OF THE MANOR AND LETS OUT A SCREECH, DEMANDING HIS CHILD BACK. HE’S LITERALLY RIPPING OFF THE ROOF AND QJL’S LIKE “WHO’S YOUR CHILD”

Anyways they bring SJ out, and SJ, who’s learned how to be a child with the time spent with Shen Yuan, sniffles and clutches at SY’s feathers once they’re reunited, tattling on QJL. (Which results in SY destroying the manor) and I kind lost the plot baaaah this is turning into a shitpost

Harpy(wings for arms) Mamayuan goodnight post

SY lives in the forest (harpies are quite large compared to humans in this au, how else would they pick up humans and carry them away to eat them?) and spends his time collecting trinkets and works of human literature (transmigrated a while ago and somewhat unaware that he’s in PIDW). It’s hard to read the mentioned literature—human works are very tiny and extremely fragile beneath his clawed hands (will include a picture of how his wings work lol)—so he mainly collects them for decoration if anything. He’s friendly to those that wake up early to gather vegetables from his part of the forest (relatively safer since many of the more intelligent threats refuse to linger where a harpy has settled) as well as to the people that hunt for food in the near area.

Seeing his lack of hostility has made village people less afraid to interact with him and has resulted in a rumor along the lines of “There’s a friendly beast in the forest.” Of course despite this many people still steer clear of SY when he’s around and don’t linger when they are near him. This makes for a pretty lonely life.

Or well it did

Insert Shen Jiu, and Yue Qi. Two little street rats that happened to be chased into the forest after being chased by a stall owner (they’d stolen some bread from them). They would’ve certainly been caught if not for Shen Yuan’s convenient arrival, his large wings nearly blanketing the sky (exaggeration, he’s not /THAT/ big) as he landed in the small clearing the kids had been forced into, the bloody remains of a moose—a large hulking beast that even a skilled hunter would think twice about confronting—clutched in his talons.

He didn’t notice them at first—not with how small they were. The stall owner that’d been chased backed off rather quickly when Shen Yuan cocked his head and inquired why they were this far in the forest. The terrifying sight of a creature known to eat men looking at you curiously with blood splattered across its face would be unnerving to anyone, so looking back Shen Yuan couldn’t really blame them for screaming and running.

SY turns to his hunt for the day and instead comes face to face with two children clinging on to one another like their life depends on it. On the ground a few feet away was a torn piece of bread—most likely attached to the piece that Shen Yuan had crushed under his talons during his landing. It seems that the sight of him appearing had startled the kids into tossing their food.

Either due to pity or what remaining humanity SY had, SY finds himself tearing off a leg of moose and tossing it over to the children like an offering. They flinch back of course—but SY’s already lifting his kill back up w/ his hands this time and carrying it off to the nearby stream in the clearing.

Tbh I’m tired

Www here’s how SY’s wings/hands look

Sorry for the bad drawing it’s 1 am www

Obviously the wing feathers are longer (super huge) the wing to hand ratio is like super large but I wanted to fit the wing and the hand on screen so I drew it like that

[fangirlingpuggle]

Having more thoughts about SY recreating Qing Jing peak in PIDW (Link) and what if number of kids adopted disciples are the peak lords reborn.

Feral little SJ who SY recused and is now super protective him, following him around like a duckling because 'Shizun has no self preservation instincts and is to nice'. A mini LQG who wants to fight and also mus protect SY, and then YQY who just wants to keep SJ safe.

All of them adore SY and when Bingge shows up all of them seeing how Bingge looks at SY and NOPE not their Shizun! We know how big your harem is like hell we're letting you take our Shizun and make him one of your hundred wives FUCK OFF.

Bingge is being cock blocked by horde of overprotective ducklings... who all look uncannily familiar.

All of whom know how to utilize puppy dog eyes and can distract SY from his wooing.

Bonus: MQF survived finds his way back wanders into Qing Jing peak that is not in ruins??? sees SY and reborn sect siblings and just like ... you know what life is weird enough this may as way happen and moves in as medic.

Moshang Bonus: SQH who was reborn as SQH is reborn and SY finds him SQH is not happy 'Goddamn you shitty system you got me killed and now I have to live again as an NPC! where is my refund I do not want to go through puberty a THIRD TIME'

Then meets cucumber bro while older and see's Qing Jing peak and just internally screaming

SQH 'BRO DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'VE DONE???'

SY 'Yes i've made a safe home for all these children who faced the consequences of YOUR HACK WRITING!'

SQH is the oldest there after SY so he's put in charge of the little 'monsters' whenever SY leaves... he hates it tyhey always try to run and follow SY, they've imprinted on him and he cannot keep them away from him.Also crying toddlers and kids whenever SY isn't there which airplane can't stop!

Not to mention every time his bro leaves he comes back with more kids! Bro you're worse than batman please stop!

Then one time MBJ comes along with Bingge on wooing mission (MBJ is meant to distract the children so that Bingge can talk to SY) only MBJ is moping because SQH accidentally died (SQH thinks MBJ killed him but it was an accident and MBJ has been in mourning for years)

MBJ sees SQH out of corner of eye and is gone he is there jsut staring at what he knows is his Qinghua! While SQH is screaming 'JHE'S GOING TO KILL ME AGAIN! oh no my king whose been taking care of you? Is he ok-forget that i'm going to dieeee AGAIN!!'

Whereas on other side of peak Bingge is frantically looking around at where his cockblocker blocker has gone to.

Did you know that most plot holes can be fixed by making your characters canonically stupid

"This doesn't make any sense, why would he ever-" my man hasn't stumbled onto a thought in years

[rhysintherain]

Fun and easy ways to temporarily make your smart characters stupid:

Sleep deprivation

Drugs

Pretty girl

Pretty not girl

Hungry

Stressed out

Got bored and stopped listening

[brain-deadx0]

Im pretty sure Avatar the Last Airbender did most of these to Sokka

My liege im sorry to break it to you but your advisor that's actually evil and wants you dead turned out to be straight. I know you really wanted to have an enemies to lovers situation with him. Yeah I'm afraid the poisoning didn't hold any romantic intent behind it. The king of the enemy kingdom is bisexual though, I could send him a letter? Yes, I'll make sure to include multiple threats of homoerotic nature. You will have your toxic yaoi, my liege
