imagine an au where shen yuan transmigrates into a blank slate npc with very little system involvement, traveling around for a while until he's found by yue qingyuan and taken back to the sect because apparently shen qingqiu went missing around his transmigration period and shen yuan looks exactly like him, so it must be him, but then a few weeks later when he's just settled in on the peak and accepted his fate the real shen qingqiu shows up who was just on vacation and everyone forgot.
now there are two shen qingqiu's, one of whom is the real one and the other an amnesiac they gaslighted into believing he is shen qingqiu.
anyway—shen qingqiu has a new didi now!
Was it inspired by this post?
it wasn't! but it absolutely is now
thank you for bringing this to me🙏
Look I just reblogged this but I gotta come back to it.
YQY did not drag him up the mountain. If anyone is tactlessly kidnapping a supposed shidi while being totally bullheadedly wrong it’s going to be Liu Qingge.
Like an Uber driver picking up the wrong person and stubbornly driving until the destination.
Liu Qingge carried that man up like a sack of potatoes and Yue Qingyuan went crazy for months knowing for absolute certain that was NOT Shen Jiu but goddamn if all the possession tests didn’t come back negative.
okay you're RIGHT tho😭 Yue Qingyuan would feel it in his xiao-Jiu obsessed bones that something isn't right, but Liu Qingge would just sling him over his shoulder and carry him right back. looks like Shen, glares like Shen, says his name is Shen = must be Shen Qingqiu
and, well, Shen Yuan is a laid back guy, he's been wondering when the plot will happen to him, he just didn't expect it to come in the form of a beautiful man grabbing him in the streets and hauling him over his shoulder.
for a few worrying seconds Shen Yuan fears he might have ended up in one of his sister's plot lines, but then they arrive at a cultivation sect and they tell him he's a teacher (which? yeah, he can live with that!), and that he's Shen Qingqiu (he can NOT live with that), but he has amnesia.
