Silly Thought: Shen Yuan transmigrating as Mobei-jun’s Mom.
The idea of Luo Binghe personally murdering Mobei-jun’s dad, just for the sake of marrying his mother— and in doing so becoming Mobei-jun’s step dad— is super funny to me. Let Shen Yuan play up his MILF vibes to maximum effect!
Also, imagine Shen Yuan using his position as Mobei-jun’s beloved mother to harass the heck out of Airplane. As a demon mother and queen, it’s only natural for him to make his son’s prospective spouse undergo dramatic loyalty trials, right? Shen Yuan has so many ideas, most of which related to the various trials Airplane made Bing-ge go through in PIDW. (He’s unexpectedly accepting of the gay thing because, well, all the women are for Binghe, right?)
Peerless Cucumber, the MIL from hell. 🔥🥒🔥

Since the Mobei-clan is made up of ice demons, I tend to imagine Mobei-jun got his shadow portal ability from his mother’s side. This would likely make Shen Yuan some form of shadow demon, with his own teleportation abilities.
He probably transmigrated in when the original goods was meant to die, while Mobei-jun was only a few years old. While he can’t prevent the whole Huan Hua kidnapping arc (the System insists) Shen Yuan ends up quite the helicopter mom afterwards. He shadows his son everywhere— often in a human male disguise— and only reveals ‘himself’ in his full ‘MILF demon queen’ glory after Mobei-jun has finished off all his enemies, to praise and dote on him.
Of course, being Shen Yuan, he also takes advantage of his teleportation abilities to sneak away and offer stealthy bits of assistance to Binghe as well. This definately leads the future demon lords to some nasty bouts of feuding even before the Abyss tossing incident. (Mobei-jun trying to make Binghe’s night hunts harder so he’ll stay away from his mother).
The motivation for Mobei-jun removing Luo Binghe’s seal during the Immortal Alliance Conference in this case is probably a bit more malicious… though when the man successfully survives both his peak lord master’s attempt to kill him and the abyss, Binghe earns Mobei-jun’s begrudging respect.
To Shen Yuan’s horror, Mobei-jun later replicates Shen Yuan’s worthiness trials for Airplane x100 before he’ll consider Binghe an acceptable stepfather. Shen Yuan has no idea how his idiot son got away with commanding the demon emperor to do all those insane tasks without getting them all killed!!!
Afterwards, he probably thinks Binghe is just marrying him as some form of power play, not realizing it was literally the entire point of the boys’ absurd escapades. The fact Luo Binghe isn’t taking any other wives, and didn’t just make him empress for political expedience, takes him a lot longer to register.
