Quite interesting how fandom is so enamored with everyoneâs favorite child abuser being âredeemedâ through this extra that theyâve succeeded in just completely botching the systemâs actual explanation. The three core explanations given by the system were:
The system is capable of moving souls between worlds, creating transmigrators.
The system makes deals with those who hate their lives and themselves in order to create a body stockpile for their transmigrators.
The system cannot directly tamper with either Luo Binghe or his lifeâs âcanon events.â
The âShen Jiu transmigrates!â theory flattens the first two points into being synonymous with each other and completely ignores the third point. For the first two points, Point 1 cannot be synonymous with Point 2 for one reason: if the systems are creating a body stockpile and they preserve the bodies of their transmigrators in the original world for the transmigrators to return to, then the souls they make deals with canât be put into different bodies. On top of that, the systems are making deals with people who resemble Bing-zu, a person who hated his life and himself so much that he would rather destroy himself and make his soul into something else than change the life he actually has or be reborn. Logically speaking, why would they put a soul like that back into a human body when the whole point is that the person no longer wants to live? Is that supposed to solve the self-hate?
Now onto the main roadblock to the theory which is the Point 3: Shen Qingqiu is a canon event in Luo Bingheâs life, and the system cannot tamper directly with Luo Bingheâs life. The reason why Shen Qingqiu had an ooc lock but Shang Qinghua didnât and why Shen Qingqiu had to throw Luo Binghe into the abyss wasnât because the system arbitrarily decided that these were plotpoints they didnât want to deviate from but because they legitimately couldnât circumvent them! They were a non-negotiable part of the protagonistâs life that they by their own admission could not touch. In every world, Shen Qingqiu abuses Luo Binghe before throwing him into the abyss, and in every world, Luo Binghe returns and kills him. The system then explains that Shen Yuan was never supposed to end up in Shen Qingqiu, that that was a fluke in their operations that wasnât meant to happen, hence why Shen Yuan came in when Luo Binghe was 14yo and not when Shen Qingqiu was born, like how Xiang Fei transmigrated into Shang Qinghua. The system was originally kinda apathetic to Shen Qingqiu and his plight because it thought it had set Shen Yuan up for a guaranteed bad end for the world. So if the systems were under the impression that Shen Qingqiu was always a bad end because they knew that the events linked to Shen Qingqiu created the conditions for Luo Bingheâs unhappiness, directly contradicting their own mission statement, then why the fuck would they make a deal with Shen Jiu to add his body to the stockpile of transmigrator accounts meant to give Luo Binghe a happy ending??? Why would they rely on Luo Bingheâs abuser to fulfill their creatorâs wish knowing that they couldnât change Shen Qingqiuâs role as Luo Bingheâs abuser???
Whatever happened to Shen Jiu in the end may very well remain a mystery, but itâs a mystery to readers and characters alike, cause the system didnât touch him.
